LAMIH

LAMIH UMR CNRS 8201 (Laboratory of Industrial and Human Automation control, Mechanical engineering and Computer Science) is a joint research unit between Université Polytechnique Hauts de France (UPHF) and National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS).
The LAMIH is divided in four scientific departments clearly identified: Automation and Control, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science and Human and Life Sciences (SHV). Each department includes 2 (max 3) research themes that are flexible, i.e. variable through time according to the future roadmaps. According to the CNRS structure, the LAMIH belongs principally to INS2I and especially sections 06 for the Computer Science Department and section 07 for the Automation and Control Department. It also belongs to two secondary institutes INSIS especially sections 09 and 10 for the Mechanical Engineering Department and INSB especially section 26 for SHV Department.

Université Polytechnique Hauts-de-France

Pour favoriser la reconversion économique et démocratiser l'accès à l'enseignement supérieur, Valenciennes a joué, bien avant les autres universités françaises, la carte des formations professionnelles appuyées sur des recherches fondamentales et appliquées.

Au début des années soixante, Valenciennes, alors 13ème agglomération française, tente d'échapper au danger de la monoculture charbon-acier. Pour attirer de nouvelles industries, former leurs personnels d'encadrement et permettre aux jeunes des familles modestes d'accéder à l'enseignement supérieur, cette région "arrache" au ministère la création en 1964 d'une antenne de la faculté des sciences de Lille, par une volonté commune de tous les partenaires locaux.
L'embryon universitaire se développe rapidement par des deuxième (1971) et troisième cycles (1975) à vocation professionnelle, créés à partir de jeunes laboratoires de recherche en relation avec le monde industriel et les milieux économiques nationaux.
Un réseau de laboratoires de recherche et d'ateliers de transferts performants permet à l'université de Valenciennes de participer activement à la conversion économique du Hainaut-Cambrésis.

INSA Hauts-de-France

The Hauts-de-France National Institute of Science and Technology is a component-establishment of the experimental establishment Université Polytechnique Hauts-de-France (UPHF).

It was set up on January 1st, 2020 from the merger of 3 components of the UPHF: the Institute of Science and Technology of Valenciennes (ISTV), the National School of Engineering in Computer Science, Automation, Mechanics, Energy and Electronics (ENSIAME) and the Faculty of Sciences and Sports (FSMS).

It is located on the Mont Houy Campus, in Valenciennes.

CNRS

Created in 1939, the National Center for Scientific Research is a public research organization (public institution of scientific and technological nature, under the supervision of the Ministry of National Education, Higher Education and Research). It produces knowledge and puts this knowledge at the service of society.

With nearly 32,000 people, located throughout France, the CNRS operates in all fields of knowledge, drawing on more than 1,100 research and service units.

With 21 Nobel laureates and 12 Fields Medal recipients, the CNRS has a long tradition of excellence.

Institut Carnot ARTS

Highly involved in the challenges of the industry of the future, the ARTS Carnot Institute (Research Actions for Technology and Society - iC ARTS) is an essential partner serving the technical performance and ambitions of companies planning to engage in a new industrial model and to develop innovative products.
Its scientific multidisciplinary expertises in terms of applied research enable the iC ARTS to support industry at all stages
of the products life cycle. The institute is based on a network of 23 research and innovation laboratories and advanced technical platforms, to address the design, industrialization and manufacturing challenges of complex and innovative products.
Located in 18 sites in 9 French regions, at the core of the French socio-economic environment, the iC ARTS has a natural proximity with industry (notably SMEs) and regional competitive clusters.

Arts et Métiers Sciences et Technologies

There are four Arts et Métiers laboratories on the Lille campus, bringing together multiple fields of expertise in a wide range of specialisms: electrical engineering, collaborative robotics, vibration mechanics, materials and processes and fluid mechanics (turbomachinery). This diversity of skills allows research teams to get involved in many partnering projects with regional and national organisations.

The Arts et Métiers Lille campus has thus signed partnerships with major industrial players, such as Toyota Motors Manufacturing France (TMMF) and Kuka Robotics. As a regional player, the campus also participates in structuring projects with the European metropolis of Lille and the Hauts-de-France region. This allows the campus to participate in local economic development as well as to influence the region at European level.
