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 />

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.
