CBS Pole - Chemistry-Biology-Health

This pole covers the extensive and contemporary field of research that is the science of living organisms: Chemistry and biochemistry, cellular biology and the biology of organisms and micro-organisms.
It brings together over 40 researchers working in four laboratories. Linking chemistry and health, the research fields include fine chemistry, the synthesis of bioactive molecules, insect-bacteria symbiosis, the study of phytopathogenic bacteria, metabolic and nutritional biochemistry and lipid engineering, amongst others.

EEUD Pole - Energy-Environment-Sustainable Urbanisation

This pole works in the fields of thermics, energy, civil engineering and environmental engineering, in order to meet the new environmental challenges resulting from the mass urbanisation of our societies.
This unit is made up of 100 researchers working in four laboratories. The research carried out in this unit is done with a multi-scale logic: to understand complete systems (buildings, cities and urban agglomerations) by improving our knowledge of the elementary processes that govern them such as heat transfer or the discharge of pollutants into water sources. The research work carried out in this unit has numerous applications in society: water and waste management, energy consumption, limitation of pollution etc.

STI Pole - Information Technology Sciences

This pole covers the whole digital data processing and transfer chain, from the acquisition of multi-media data to its transport and storage via its processing. Specific mathematical models and mechanisms for knowledge improvement are developed at each stage. The key areas for the 110 researchers working in our four laboratories are directly related to the requirements of society and are used in innovations in a variety of fields: Ambient intelligence, systems for the production of goods and services, digital leisure activities, biology and health, culture and heritage.

Materials Pole

The materials pole brings together 80 researchers working in two laboratories. Their research fields include the physicochemical characteristics, the morphology and the determination and modelling of material properties. In association with the Mechanics and the Energy-Environment-Sustainable Development units and beyond the mere creation of materials, the unit works to optimise their use, pushing the boundaries of their performance in order to create associations, multiply their functions, and even to integrate them into complex technological systems to meet the new and ever-increasingly elaborate needs of society (eco-design, recycling and biodegradability, durability etc.).

Laboratories
IMP (Polymer Materials Engineering).
MATEIS (Materials: Engineering and Science)

Mechanics Pole

The 75 researchers and technicians working in the INSA Lyon’s Mechanics unit are grouped into three state-ofthe-art laboratories. Their research work involves a width and depth of expertise which is applied to structures. This pole aims at understanding and simulating behaviours in order to understand better the risk of failure and improve reliability and safety: Statics and dynamics, numerical experimentation and simulation, the behavior of mechanical
systems and parts, tribology and forming by assembly and welding are the key words underpinning this work.

LMFA (Fluid Mechanics and Acoustics Laboratory).
LVA (Vibrations and Acoustics Laboratory).

MNTE Pole - Micro-Nano Electronic Technologies

In response to the challenge of creating “intelligent”, communicating microsystems and the introduction of micronano technologies into the components and systems of the future, the 100 researchers working in the pole do so in
constant liaison with INSA Lyon’s other poles of competence. Their field of action ranges from the design of innovative functional materials to miniaturisation, for communicating electronic systems, integrated components and embedded devices.
They are also supported by technological platforms or test centres such as NANOLYON and Fluid Power.
