An exceptional research environment

Computing and automation are omnipresent in the Nancy community.
The LORIA, INRIA, CRAN and IECN are home to several hundred researchers, grouping together mathematicians, computer engineers and automation engineers in their research.
In these disciplines, an average of 50 theses are written each year.
Joint projects cover these different fields of activity. These organisms create a synergy between fundamental research and the transformation of research results, the distribution and the transfer of knowledge.

 

The Study / Research interface

ESIAL is looking to promote training for and via research using the required institutional and logistics means to achieve this. The school’s research professors on staff undertake all research activities within the laboratories associated with the University of Lorraine and the CNRS (LORIA, CRAN, IECN) and in part work on joint projects with the INRIA. All of the subjects taught relate directly to the progress made through international research, this being a fundamental issue for construction disciplines such as information technology and its applications.

AIPL (Atelier Inter-établissement de Productique Lorrain - Lorraine Inter-Establishment Production Engineering Workshop), resource centre for the AIP-PRIMECA network

http://www.aip-primeca.net/P%C3%B4leAIPPRIMECALorraine.aspx
The Lorraine AIP-PRIMECA is a regional educational resource centre in the field of industry, used by regional training facilities (initial or further education) in production engineering and computer-aided mechanical design. It promotes the transfer of knowledge to businesses.

The Lorraine AIP-PRIMECA centre makes up part of a national network grouping together 9 regional centres. This is a service shared between three institutions: the Henri Poincaré University, Nancy 1 (administrative supervision), the INPL (French National Polytechnic Institute of Lorraine) and the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts et Métiers (French National School for the Arts and Professions), centre of Metz.

5 centres of activity are offered:

·         Computer Aided Design (CAD)

·         Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM)

·         Automation and Production Engineering

·         Industrial Computing and Networks

·         Production Management and Computer-Aided Production Systems

 

 

 

Charles Hermite Federation

http://www.fr-hermite.univ-lorraine.fr/
The Charles Hermite Federation is the largest Research Federation in Lorraine. It comprises approximately 710 people, including 250 doctoral students and post-doctoral students, 280 research professors, approximately twenty CNRS researchers, approximately fifty INRIA researchers and 110 administrative and technical agents, which places Lorraine in 5^th place for French national university centres for Mathematics-ICT.

The research areas developed within the scope of the Federation are:
