A trans-disciplinary research institute uniting four engineering schools to invent human-centered, planet-positive technologies from fundamental research to startups, fab labs and field-deployed systems.
This national research institute of the IONIS group interconnects diverse technological campuses into one community of researchers, students, artists, makers and entrepreneurs to shape a more ethical advancement of technologies and their integration in society.
From fundamental research to product prototyping, our value chain covers the full path: lab discovery, fab-lab fabrication, technology transfer to industry, and incubation of high-impact startups within a framework of social and environmental public engagement.
From the classroom to the laboratory to the workshop bench, every activity fulfils a path towards community knowledge and technology.
Our innovation activities rely on the research laboratories of our schools, working to address contemporary societal challenges. We provide a complete value chain from academic research to product prototyping and technology transfer.
Our trans-disciplinary master's and doctoral programs focus on learning-by-doing and an experimental approach. We propose a fab-academy program for lifelong learning, skills passport trainings as well as innovation project challenges.
Our infrastructure includes Fab Labs equipped with advanced 3D printing, SMD electronics, space composite materials, biotech labs, robotics testbeds, a cross-reality lab and an AI server farm supporting students, researchers and partners alike.
Researchers, students, industry partners, makers and artists are welcome for collaboration. Let us know what you'd like to learn, build or enhance with our teams.
