Research at <strong>IFMA</strong><br />

<strong>IFMA</strong> is a scientific centre which is recognised in the fields of mechanical engineering<br />

and production systems. The underlying research strategy at our institute is to propose<br />

innovative and reliable solutions for the design of materials, structures and machines,<br />

to provide the requisite performance of these systems throughout their lifecycle and to<br />

ensure the quality and efficiency of production systems in a demanding, changing and<br />

diversified environment. <strong>IFMA</strong>'s objective is to become, thanks to our impact and our<br />

reputation, a centre of excellence in the scientific domains furthered by our research<br />

teams.<br />

ORGANISATION OF OUR<br />

RESEARCH ACTIVITY<br />

Research activities in the three laboratories<br />

of the TIMS research federation<br />

(FR 2856 CNRS/UBP/UA/<strong>IFMA</strong>)<br />

• LaMI, Mechanical and <strong>Engineer</strong>ing Laboratory - EA 3867:<br />

Materials and Structures, Machines, Mechanisms and<br />

Systems, Probabilistic Structural Mechanics.<br />

• LIMOS, Computing, Modelling and Systems<br />

Optimisation Laboratory- UMR CNRS 6158:<br />

Modelling, Organisation and<br />

Management of Production Systems.<br />

• LASMEA, Sciences and Materials for Electronics and<br />

Robotics Laboratory - UMR CNRS 6602:<br />

Robotics and Complex Autonomous Systems<br />

A major player in large regional projects<br />

• Active participation, via the TIMS research federation, in the<br />

Innov@pole State-Region project.<br />

• Strong participation in the Auvergne region's competitiveness<br />

clusters (ViaMéca, Céréales Vallée, InnoViandes).<br />

• Hosting of the ViaMéca cluster's offices on <strong>IFMA</strong> premises.<br />

It is characterised by a strong local<br />

integration and an efficient implication<br />

in networks and projects, on both a<br />

national and international level.<br />

Active participation in training for<br />

and through research<br />

• <strong>IFMA</strong> participates in the Auvergne College<br />

of Doctoral Schools, as a founding member<br />

of "Clermont Université".<br />

• Support institution for the <strong>Engineer</strong>ing<br />

Sciences Doctoral School of Clermont-<br />

Ferrand.<br />

• Co-accreditation with Blaise Pascal<br />

University for the Mechanical and Civil<br />

<strong>Engineer</strong>ing Master's degree.<br />

• <strong>IFMA</strong> student engineers are encouraged to<br />

follow a double degree programme with a<br />

research Master.<br />

• Hosting of PhD and post-doctoral students.
