In order to strengthen research in its fields of expertise, Arts et Métiers set up National Knowledge Networks. This initiative to pool skills aims to respond ever more effectively to the challenges of the industry of the future.
Bringing together all relevant staff from the various Arts et Métiers campuses around a scientific theme developed across several sites Arts et Métiers this is the ambition of the National Knowledge Networks (RNC), launched by the institution in 2015.
The teams thus have an internal coordination structure on which to rely in order to pool their skills and work in synergy.
The 11 RNCs contribute fully to the development of Arts et Métiers research, both nationally and internationally. This enables the school to respond in a shared and consistent manner to research and partnership training projects (Openlab, Electric Aircraft, Industry of the Future, etc.) and to participate in initiatives planned within strategic partnerships—for example, with Safran, CEATech, Airbus, and KIT. The RNCs are thus at the forefront of large-scale technological and scientific projects.
Arts et Métiers now Arts et Métiers on RNCs to promote its research at major scientific conferences. For example, at the end of October 2015, five RNCs participated in France-Atlanta, an event organized by the French Consulate and GeorgiaTech —the prestigious North American mechanical engineering university is a leading partner of the school. Several innovative topics were at the center of discussions between scientists and industrialists: innovative manufacturing processes, new materials for smart products, robots and humans, green factories and eco-responsibility, and digital factories.
