SCIENTIFIC strategy

 FEMTO-ST develops international scientific projects at the frontier of knowledge, leading to the discovery of new technologies/software and new scientific knowledge around five major strategic priorities:

  • sciences and technologies for health, 
  • sciences and technologies for sustainable development,
  • micro-nano-technologies,
  • digital sciences and artificial intelligence,
  • quantum technologies.

Based on the wide range of scientific competences, FEMTO-ST promotes the multidisciplinary scientific projects that are particularly original and competitive at the international level. This ability to generate original multidisciplinary projects is one of the keypoints of FEMTO-ST.
 

technologies

The quality of FEMTO-ST research is also closely linked to the ten technology platforms that give scientists access to a range of world-class scientific instruments in all the laboratory fields of excellence. In particular, the institute can draw on the MIMENTO (MIcrofabrication for Mechanics, Nanosciences, Thermics and Optics) micro and nanotechnology center, a member of the CNRS RENATECH national network. Based on this strong technological base and FEMTO-ST is heavily involved in innovation, notably through DeepTech innovations based on its research results.
