Reinventing engineering at Centrale Nantes
Centrale Nantes researchers deploy an interdisciplinary approach to address three major challenges for growth and innovation: industry of the future, energy transition, and engineering for health.
Industry of the future
Energy Transition
Energy transition is both an environmental obligation and a lever for industrial development. Development of these renewable energies, such as marine energies, requires breakthrough innovations in energy storage and transport systems. The school's research activities on engine systems and the reduction of polluting emissions serve as a support for multidisciplinary training.
Engineering for health
Engineering for health: an eminently promising field due to longer life expectancies, is benefitting fully from significant advances in the fields of modelling, simulation and innovative technologies. We are also witnessing the emergence of increasingly personalized medicine. "Digital medicine" means the ability to provide better treatment with medical devices that can be innovative, decreasing the societal cost of care.
