FEMTO-ST tient séminaire à Belfort les 2 et 3 juillet

FEMTO-ST organise les 2 et 3 juillet prochains à l'ATRIA de Belfort, ses premières journées de séminaire scientifique multi-disciplinaire depuis son renouvellement au meilleur rang des unités de recherche françaises.

Le laboratoire de recherche académique qui regroupe les chercheurs de 4 tutelles (Université de Franche-Comté, CNRS, ENSMM, Université de Technologie de Belfort-Montbéliard) et compte aujourd'hui près de 650 personnes, fait partie des plus grands instituts de recherche Français dans le domaine de l'ingénierie.

Sur la base de ses 7 départements de recherche (Automatique, Energie, Informatique, Mécanique, Métrologie Temps-Fréquence, Micro-Nano technologies, et Optique), ces journées sont entre autres destinées à faire émerger l'innovation scientifique à partir des interactions entre des champs de recherche très spécialisés, très différents, mais d'une complémentarité potentielle extrêmement riche ; le succès des premiers projets transverses démarrés après la création de l'institut en 2004 en ont déjà fait la preuve.

La construction d'un espace de recherche trans-frontalier est également à l'ordre du jour avec la participation de partenaires Suisses et Allemands, ainsi qu'un point sur l'avancement de près de 7 projets d'excellence "investissements d'avenir" dont FEMTO-ST est soit directement le porteur, soit un partenaire qui s'est avéré incontournable au niveau national.
