A collaborative approach
GeM is committed to open, interdisciplinary and collaborative research. It is strongly involved in national and international scientific networks and communities that structure major research themes and foster synergies between laboratories, institutions and industry.
NExT laboratories of excellence
Interdisciplinary research projects that structure the Nantes research community and strengthen the excellence and visibility of research around the two areas of the NExT I-SITE: health and the industry of the future.
ORACLE
Offshore renewable energy ReseArch Center of excelLencE
The ORACLE laboratory of excellence supports multidisciplinary research addressing the challenges of offshore renewable energies, in particular the need for them to make a massive contribution to the supply of sustainable, safe and competitive energy worldwide.
IMAF
Agile manufacturing engineering of the future
The IMAF laboratory of excellence puts people at the heart of the manufacturing process, focusing on human-machine collaboration and on the decision-making autonomy of systems for tasks that require creativity and complex, rapid decisions.
Networks and institutes
Research institutes and federations in which GeM takes part.
Institut Carnot MERS
The Carnot MERS institute supports companies in their innovations to make maritime economic activities more sustainable, drawing on laboratories with exceptional expertise, technical resources and test sites. Led by Ifremer and Centrale Nantes, it brings together CNRS, Nantes Université, Université de Bretagne Occidentale and Université Bretagne Sud, and gathers 9 units and laboratories on all of France’s coastlines.
IUML
Institut universitaire mer et littoral
A research federation of 850 researchers in some twenty laboratories and departments, organised around four areas: marine bioprocesses and bioresources; offshore structures, ships of the future and marine renewable energies; biodiversity, health and the coastal environment; blue growth and governance of the maritime space.
IRSTV
Institut de recherche en sciences et techniques de la ville
A CNRS research federation (FR 2488) working on urban microclimate and energy transfers, to inform strategies for mitigating and adapting cities to climate change.
Research groups (GdR)
CNRS networks that foster exchanges between scientists, academic partners, companies and other stakeholders.
Learned societies
GeM is involved in several French and international learned societies related to its areas of expertise.
Association française de mécanique
Association pour les matériaux composites
Association universitaire de génie civil
Comité français des barrages et réservoirs
Comité français de mécanique des sols et de géotechnique
