Research laboratory and priority of scientific axes

The University of Lorraine’s research laboratories are a cornerstone of the School’s research eco-system. Through them ICN faculty can connect to larger scientific networks and extended resources to engage in innovative joint research and the dissemination and transfer of results. The scope of research reaches from regional projects to multinational cooperation and also includes joint PhD thesis supervision.
