SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure

Smart digital tools for the sustainable, human-centric and resilient use of 

FABulous will develop an industrial direct laser writing technology (multiphoton lithography) to structure coatings with nanoscale engineered 3d topography to fabricate high resolution functional 3D metasurfaces for advanced ultra-lightweight products.

Develop skills in artificial intelligence and machine learning, and to explore how learning techniques can contribute to the improvement of code design methods (by using less parameters, more relevant heuristics, producing stronger codes) and decoders (better performance, reduced complexity or energy consumption), on selected scenarios of

Within the SAMOSAFER project, the challenge is to develop new assessment and simulation tools for this Gen-IV reactor with respect to these innovative safety features.

Industry of the Future is characterized by smart automation and connectivity, flexible and adaptive processes, as well as sustainable manufacturing practices.

The major objective of the AIDOaRt project is to provide a model-based framework to more efficiently support the continuous software and system engineering of large and complex Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) via AI-augmentation.

The IMT Atlantique incubator, located on the Brest, Nantes and Rennes campuses, has been supporting innovative projects in the school's fields of excellence (digital, energy, sea, environment, health/wellness, industry of the future) since 1998. Located at the heart of the campus the start-ups offer a stimulating environment.

From 22 to 24 June, IMT Atlantique is organising "MIM 2022" in Nantes, the high point of the Industry of the Future calendar, which will bring together more than 700 experts and researchers from all over the world.

As part of the European MySmartLife project dedicated to "smart" cities, a multidisciplinary team from IMT Atlantique is looking at heating networks. The aim is twofold: to model and optimize the network in downtown Nantes, and to offer operators a decision-making tool that accounts for multiple stakeholders. An original approach in more ways than one.

Starting next fall, Ecolog, an initiative that brings together experts from all over France, aims to provide, via open source, a set of educational resources (syllabus, modules, MooC, tools, etc.) dedicated to "responsible" digital technology, for engineers of all profiles.
