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.

A word from the director

"I wish to ensure the continuity of the projects initiated by my predecessor, Michel Jauzein, in order to guarantee their long-term viability. I also intend to strengthen existing partnerships and develop new ones with businesses and cultural organizations that share our remarkable Cluny campus, while involving all the different communities: faculty, faculty researchers, administrative staff, students, alumni, and more.” Alexandre Radjesvarane is the director of the Cluny campus.

Doctorate

Evolutives Learning Factories on campus

Projects at the Campus School Factory

• The welding simulator: ELF Cluny has acquired a new welding simulator with funding from the Arts & Métiers Foundation and sponsorship from Comège. This demonstrator aims to introduce students to welding techniques and help them perfect their skills. It is easily transportable, safe, and does not use any raw materials. Read the article.
• ROAM: starting in the 2025 academic year, second- and third-year students in the Grande École Program will have access to a collaborative robot as part of their education. ROAM (Robot Collaboratif Arts et Métiers) is a demonstrator that incorporates innovative features and paves the way for educational projects combining technology and traditional know-how within the framework of Evolutive Learning Factories. Read the article.
• LabLean 5.0: By the end of 2026, the campus plans to create LabLean 5.0, an innovative laboratory dedicated to experimentation, observation, and education focused on LEAN, frontline workers, and new industrial technologies. As part of the ELF program, this project is structured around four pillars: action-oriented training, research and innovation, network coordination and knowledge dissemination, and business support. It aims to place students at the center of these initiatives, study the impact of advanced technologies on operators, develop concrete demonstrations of the industry of the future, and strengthen the links between education, business, and research. The project already receives support from the NCU RITM-BFC program (reference ANR-17-NCUN-0003). For more details, download the brochure.
