Description

INSA Lyon is an Engineering School dedicated to Applied Sciences, which makes it a large and unique research center which joins education activities, research laboratories and socio-economic partners (over 1.000 industrial contracts a year). As an academic oriented to industry, our institute carries out research in engineering sciences for companies looking for technological solutions

Research at INSA Lyon is organised around five main areas:

1) Energy for a Sustainable Development

2) Environment: Natural, Industrial, and Urban Environments

3) Global Health and Bioengineering

4) Digital Society and Information

5) Transport: Structures, Infrastructures, and Mobilities

INSA Lyon research ecosystem is completed with the scientific and technological platforms which provide the industrial sector with advanced technology and expertise.

INSA Lyon is a member of different European Technology platforms (SUSCHEM, WaterEurope)
