Cluny

Welcome to the Cluny campus!

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

Located since 1901 in an exceptional setting, Cluny Abbey, the Arts et Métiers campus Arts et Métiers built its reputation in several areas of expertise: high-speed machining, the wood industry, digital modeling, and virtual imaging. Supported by two research laboratories, the Materials and Processes Laboratory (LaBoMaP) and the Physical and Digital Systems Engineering Laboratory (LISPEN)/Chalon-sur-Saône Institute, 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 obtained CMQ Forêt Bois certification for the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region in the Excellence category. The Arts et Métiers teams Arts et Métiers this campus with professionals from the FIBOIS BFC inter-professional organization and received support from the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté (BFC) region and the French government.

A word from the director

"I want to ensure the continuity of the projects initiated by my predecessor Michel Jauzein in order to guarantee their sustainability. I also intend to consolidate existing partnerships and develop new ones with businesses and cultural actors who share our remarkable site in Cluny, while involving all the different communities: teachers, teacher-researchers, administrative staff, students, alumni, etc." Radjesvarane Alexandre is the director of the Cluny campus.

Evolutives Learning Factories on campus

Campus projects

• LAB LEAN 5.0: by the end of 2026, the campus plans to create LAB LEAN 5.0, an innovative laboratory dedicated to experimentation, observation, and teaching around LEAN, operators, and new industrial technologies. Part of the ELF program, this project is structured around four areas: training and action, research and innovation, network coordination and knowledge dissemination, and business support. It aims to place students at the heart of the system, 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 benefits from the support of the NCU RITM-BFC program (reference ANR-17-NCUN-0003). For more details, download the brochure.
• 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.

• 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.
