The Thematic Research Unit Green engineering approaches aims to provide answers to a major societal issue of our time : global warming.

The objective of the research conducted within this axis is to propose solutions based on the principles of green engineering and causing a technological break with the current and dominant technologies in the fields of materials and civil engineering. These principles include minimizing resource depletion, optimizing the amount of waste produced, and optimizing product performance by minimizing design excesses and including life cycle analysis tools.

This TRU is divided into 3 research areas.
