The ELF on the Bordeaux campus

ELF Bordeaux Space

The Evolutive Learning Factories program Evolutive Learning Factories to transform our campuses into Industry 4.0 training factories. Find out how it is being rolled out on the Bordeaux campus. 

The Bordeaux campus is transforming its educational platforms to meet the challenges of the industry of the future and train the people who will drive its transformation.

Featured project: PrintBO

Located in the heart of the technology halls, the Bordeaux Fablab has been enhanced with several 3D printers thanks to the ELF program. The aim of the space is to enable students to prototype and repair their own parts, both for educational projects and, on an ad hoc basis, for personal projects.  

With a budget of over €10,000, financed by the ELF and investments from continuing education, five new machines were added.

The Bordeaux-Talence campus stands out for its approach, which covers the entire product life cycle: design, manufacturing, use, and end of life. The ELF program aligns teaching, research, and industrial transfer while leveraging existing platforms.

Students play a central role in this process: ELF representatives are appointed from among second-year Grande Ecole Program (PGE) students and actively participate in implementing projects and organizing campus life. Each fall, an ELF evening event highlights local initiatives and provides a special opportunity to showcase achievements, strengthen collective momentum, and raise new funds.

Led locally by Stéphane Chevalier, Fabian Magnin, and Frédéric Lalardie, ELF correspondents, this project is developing thanks to the joint involvement of students, teachers, and staff, thereby strengthening the campus's position in Bordeaux's academic and industrial ecosystem.
