SCIENTIFIC FRAMEWORK 

CREATE ID is an international teaching and research chair between Arts et Métiers and ESI Group, a leading provider of virtual prototyping software and services specializing in the physics of materials. It focuses on several research areas related to the industry of the future: 

• Real-time simulation of production steps based on physics models (via model reduction) 
• Data-driven modeling and simulation (heterogeneous and not necessarily massive) and artificial intelligence techniques (Engineered Artificial Intelligence) 
• Hybridization of these two components to define different typologies of digital twins, where data is used to enrich models, and models to make data more intelligent, in order to predict the behavior of a material / process / component-structure / system, throughout its life. 

This research can be applied in several sectors: automotive, aeronautics, naval, metallurgy, health...The Chair will also aim to develop engineering training, and education in these research areas.

OBJECTIVES 

This chair focuses on two main objectives:  

• Developing innovative research in the field of product lifecycle management methods and tools. 
• Training employees in PLM tools and preparing them for Industry 4.0 

Launched with the company Cagemini, this Chair marks the coming together of the industrial world, and the academic and scientific world.

CONTACTS 

This teaching and research chair is dedicated to waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), which contain many recyclable materials, including rare metals. In other words, WEEE are absolute "urban mines" that are widespread today. In the context of depleting natural resources, the exploitation of WEEE can be part of a circular economy approach, in accordance with the principles of sustainable development. The chair was renewed for 5 years (2019-2024) in March 2019, it is version 2.

THE THREE RESEARCH AXES OF VERSION 2 

The Chair's missions are threefold: the development of new quality secondary materials, the definition of economic models for recycling, and training actions. In terms of research, three main areas of focus are identified: 

Optimizing the recycling of strategic metals 

This theme brings together specialists in the physical chemistry of processes, materials chemists, physical chemists of colloids and specialists in analytical sciences, pooling their skills to study the interface of materials and processes.    

Recycling of plastics and integration of recycled plastics in design 

Two Arts et Métiers laboratories are working on this topic: the I2M-IMC (Institut de Mécanique et d'Ingénierie - Mécanique et Conception) branch of the Chambéry Institute, the school's center of expertise on recycling and eco-design, and the PIMM (Procédés et Ingénierie en Mécanique et Matériaux) laboratory, which brings together specialists from various fields: mechanics of materials and structures, polymer chemistry, aging and recycling, etc. 

Developing new models for the circular economy 

The CGS (Centre de Gestion Scientifique) team at Mines ParisTech is interested in the economic, managerial and governance dimensions of urban mines. It has recognized expertise in the fields of innovation management, CSR (corporate social responsibility) and eco-design.
