English term or phrase: frontier science
Bonjour, j'ai des difficultés à traduire "frontier science" dans cette phrase : "There was also a lot of frontier science undertaken in the last five to ten years and it should be decided whether to pull that in to the actual advances in the operational system."

Des idées ?

Merci :)

French translation:recherches (scientifiques) dans des domaines inexplorés / des domaines jamais explorés avant
Explanation:
& similar

"the Frontier" conveys the idea of some new / unexplored territories - beyond what is currently known.

example: the first research on radioactivity or on nano-technology was a "frontier science" no one had ventured there ever before.

la(les) recherche(s) exploratoire(s)


Explanation:
l'ERC soi-disant a créé le terme de "frontier science" et ils ont un site en français aussi.

"What is frontier research and what are its benefits? Today the distinction between 'basic' and 'applied' research has become blurred, due to the fact that emerging areas of science and technology often cover substantial elements of both. As a result, the term 'frontier research' was coined for ERC activities since they will be directed towards fundamental advances at and beyond the 'frontier' of knowledge."
"Qu’est-ce que la «recherche exploratoire» et quels sont ses avantages?
À l’heure actuelle, la distinction entre la recherche «fondamentale» et «appliquée» s’est estompée dès lors que les domaines émergents de la science et de la technologie intègrent fréquemment d’importants éléments de ces deux facettes. L’expression «recherche exploratoire» a donc été forgée pour les activités de l'ERC car elles ciblent l’accomplissement d’avancées substantielles aux frontières de la connaissance et au-delà."

Example sentence(s):
  • to support investigator-driven frontier research across all fields
  • de soutenir les recherches exploratoires lancées par les chercheurs dans toutes les disciplines
