Traveling differently: my low-carbon business trips. Lou Grimal shares his experience.
Lou Grimal, a teacher-researcher at the Chambéry Institute, often has to travel abroad. She is considering ways to limit the environmental impact of her trips.
Paul Kuffer, Winner of the 2025 Alban Tixier Prize
Paul Kuffer is the winner of the 2025 Alban Tixier Prize, awarded by the Arts et Métiers Foundation and the Wood teaching team. This distinction recognizes his final-year project, carried out in close collaboration with the industrial world.
Expertise in Materials and Decarbonized Energy: Testimonial from Douaa Jabrane, Student
Douaa Jabrane, a student in the Grande École Program, joined the first class of the Decarbonized Materials and Energy for Sustainable Industry (MEDID) program. She talks about her first steps in this work-study program, which was developed and is co-taught by industry professionals.
Laying of the foundation stone for the student residence on the Cluny campus
In Cluny, the student residence renovation project, with phase 2 of the work now officially underway, is transforming the campus: greater comfort, greater sustainability, and better living conditions for everyone's success. The last renovation took place in 1985.
Research at LEM3: composite materials
On the Metz campus, researchers at the LEM3 laboratory devote part of their research to composite materials, particularly those with a thermoplastic polymer matrix. These materials are highly prized for high-performance applications such as aeronautics, automotive, and competition. This work is directly linked to current industrial needs, but it also makes it possible to anticipate future needs.
Arts et Métiers organize the ATS competition starting in 2026.
Arts et Métiers, a leading engineering school, will resume organizing the ATS competitive entrance exam in 2026 for students with BTS, DUT, or BUT degrees who wish to enroll in an engineering school. This new responsibility is fully in line with the school's strategic ambition: to train 50% more graduates by 2027 on its campuses and new sites, by increasing social openness and diversity of backgrounds.

Headline
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 Metz campus.
Main body text
The Metz 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: 𝜙𝜏-center
The goal is to provide a center of expertise in energy on the Metz campus, called the Fluid-Thermal Center (𝜙𝜏-center, 𝜙 for fluid and 𝜏 for thermal), which will be both experimental and digital, addressing energy transition issues. It will fulfill three main missions:
- Production of carbon-free energy (fuel cells, solar Stirling engines);
- Sustainable and eco-responsible energy management on campus (control of the heating system, air handling unit, energy recovery from the Cassiopée HPC computing cluster, thermal insulation of buildings).
- “Design office”for the dimensioning and prototyping of structures to meet the needs of the campus (educational projects, student projects, and cross-disciplinary research projects).
These three missions will enable students to immerse themselves, during their studies, in an educational eco-factory that trains them in the current and essential issues of energy transition and data digitization.
On the rest of the campus
On the Metz campus,Evolutive Learning Factory ELF) stands out for its commitment to digital transformation anddecarbonization in industry. This is demonstrated by the EcoHCP project, which aims to control emissions from the institution's meso-computing center in Metz, as well as the massive connectivity of all equipment acquired in all ELF projects.
The development of connected technology platforms on campus aims to strengthen control over manufacturing processes, while optimizing their energy efficiency and reducing their carbon footprint, from the development and characterization of materials (Cofacre and Green Steels projects) to manufacturing (Vulcain and Epither projects) and (re)design (Delage V12 project).
This factory-school will offer students the opportunityto explore the entire value chain of a manufactured product: from the choice of materials to responsible processes, including energy management, recycling, and life cycle analysis, all in an environment conducive to collaboration and the adoption of new technologies (AtriuM project).
