The Institute of Combustion, Aerothermics, Reactivity and Environment – ICARE, was created on 1 January 2007 by the merger of the Combustion and Reactive Systems Laboratory and the Aerothermics Laboratory. ICARE is located on the CNRS campus at La Source. ICARE’s two fields of intervention, namely “Energy & Environment” and “Propulsion & Space”, are divided into 3 Thematic Groups: “Combustion and Reactive Systems”, “Atmosphere and Environment” and “Space Propulsion and High-Speed Flows”.
ICARE is a partner in Investment Projects for the Future: LABEX CAPRYSSES (2012-2020), LABEX VOLTAIRE (2011-2020), MITHYGEN ANR-RSNR on hydrogen risks in nuclear power plants (2013-2018). ICARE participates in several ANR projects with and without industrial partnership, and various contracts with industrial partners or agencies have recently been obtained.
