Welcome to the Cluny campus!

The Arts et Métiers campus Arts et Métiers Cluny in a nutshell

Housed since 1901 in an exceptional setting—Cluny Abbey—the Arts et Métiers campus Arts et Métiers built its reputation on several areas of expertise: high-speed machining, the woodworking industry, digital modeling, and virtual imaging. Drawing on two research laboratories—the Materials and Processes Laboratory (LaBoMaP) and the Laboratory for Physical and Digital Systems Engineering (LISPEN)/   Arts et Métiers Institute Arts et Métiers Chalon-sur-Saône, it benefits in particular from a concentration of technical and human resources in the fields of materials, design, manufacturing processes, and production. In April 2022, it received the CMQ Forêt Bois certification from the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté (BFC) region in the Excellence category. The Arts et Métiers teams Arts et Métiers this campus with professionals from the FIBOIS BFC interprofessional association and received support from the BFC region and the French government.
