On February 2, the Arts et Métiers campus Arts et Métiers Bordeaux hosted a morning of discussions dedicated to discovering research, bringing together first-year engineering students and researchers from the Institute of Mechanics and Engineering (I2M*).

For more than twenty years, the Arts et Métiers campus Arts et Métiers Bordeaux-Talence has been a major player in research into engineered materials.

Detecting soft tissue injuries earlier thanks to digital twins is the goal of the TWIN-IT project, which is working to develop more predictive and personalized health engineering.

Coordinated by Joseph Fitoussi, a researcher at PIMM, the OptUSeH2 project paves the way for a new generation of hydrogen systems that are safer, more sustainable, and more efficient.

Supported by a task force of internationally recognized researchers, AI4Eng aims to position Arts et Métiers a leader in the field.

The Pierre Bézier Award ceremony took place on Tuesday, January 31, 2026, at the Arts et Métiers campus Arts et Métiers Paris for the five 2024 winners.

While most devices end up in the trash without anyone checking to see if any components could be salvaged, the DeReCo project, conducted at the Arts et Métiers campus Arts et Métiers Lille as part of RéCLasSIF, aims to change that. By robotizing the disassembly of electric vehicle motors, researchers are paving the way for a more efficient circular economy.

The Chal’EngeAM 2026 Challenge brought together students from Master of Science at the Institut Arts et Métiers Chalon-sur-Saône, the CNAM Bourgogne Franche-Comté, and the EGC Centre-Est, alongside local companies. These companies challenged the students to address real-world industry needs. Over the course of two weeks, the teams developed prototypes using virtual reality and artificial intelligence.
