R&D and innovation seminar (framed teaching)

Research & Development (R&D) is both the product of teamwork and individual talent, all at the service of innovation (applied research) and knowledge (fundamental research). The themes are diverse and varied, but a certain methodology is required to tackle any R&D problem.

The aim of this Teaching Unit is to provide, through a number of selected themes, the basic tools for tackling a new R&D project.

This module will take the form of seminars and will be assessed by the production of a ten-page report on a theme chosen each year.

Seminars will cover topics such as: "How to assess the state of the art before embarking on a new R&D project", "How to link theoretical training with the methodology to be applied during an R&D project", "Practical examples and case studies".
Students will also be invited to attend selected research seminars organized by the Mechanics and Civil Engineering Laboratory - LMGC.
