Centrale Nantes is the lead institution for two 'Laboratoires d’Excellence' (Labex) NExT projects.
Labex NExT are interdisciplinary research projects that play a structural role in the Nantes area. Their objective is to boost excellence and enhance the visibility of research in the two focus areas of the NExT I-Site: engineering for health and the industry of the future. These Labex initiatives aim to address major societal challenges by leveraging the dynamic and high-level expertise of research laboratories and teams in Nantes.
IMAF aims to put people at the heart of the manufacturing production process by focusing its activities on man-machine collaboration and the decision-making autonomy of systems to accomplish tasks requiring creativity and complex, rapid decision-making.
The Labex will focus on five challenges:
Coordinated by Stéphane CARO (Laboratory of Digital Sciences of Nantes (LS2N) - Nantes University / Centrale Nantes / IMT Atlantique / CNRS / Inria) Main players involved: CEISAM, GEPEA, GEM, IMN, LS2N Further information is available on the IMAF Labex website (in French)
ORACLE aims to support multidisciplinary research to meet the challenges associated with offshore renewable energies, in particular the need for these energies to be a major contributor in the supply of sustainable, safe and competitive energy on a global scale.
The Labex will focus on four challenges:
Coordinated by Sandrine AUBRUN (Research Laboratory in Hydrodynamics, Energetics & Atmospheric Environment (LHEEA) - Centrale Nantes / CNRS) Main players involved: CDMO, CENS, GEM, IREENA, LEMNA, LETG, LHEEA, LS2N, LTEN Further information is available on the ORACLE Labex website (in French) ► See Nantes Université's website to learn more about the 5 projets Labex projects (in French)
