With its ability to draw on a wide range of skills, some of them recognized internationally, INSA Strasbourg develops research that aims to provide solutions to major issues in society, in areas such as health, energy and the environment, the efficiency of buildings, inventiveness in organizational and productive systems.

 

RESEARCH teams shared with other institutions of the site

Research is conducted in collaboration with other scientific institutes in Strasbourg (the University of Strasbourg, the National Center for Scientific Research [CNRS], the Higher National School of Architecture in Strasbourg [ENSAS], the National School for Water and Environmental Engineering in Strasbourg [ENGEES]).

The areas concerned are related to those covered by the training and aim to give coherence to the activities on the site. Projects are approached from a multi-disciplinary perspective, necessary to the modelling, evaluation and optimization of complex systems. Doctoral studies are organized in close collaboration with the University of Strasbourg, which awards the PhD.
