I-SITE Lorraine’s strategic priorities
The “Lorraine Excellence Initiative” was selected by an international jury in the I-SITE category (which stands for Initiatives – Science – Innovation – Territories – Economy) of the Investments for the Future Programme (PIA) in 2016.
Lorraine Excellence Initiative taps into Lorraine’s local academic, scientific and socio-economic potential, with a core competency in engineering and the ambition to develop the international leadership of the Lorraine site in connection with six major societal challenges:
- Materials in the 21st century
- Ecological transition (One Earth)
- Energy transition
- Digital transition of industry and society
- Global health and One Health approach
- Transitions in society
The central role of the Lorraine I-SITE
The Lorraine I-SITE offers transformative and structuring levers within the ecosystem, reinforced by resources from other France 2030 programs: ORION (SFRI), SIRIUS (IDEES), Education & Territories (EXCELLENCES), REIL (ASDESR), POLARIS (PUI), AILES (Territories of Educational Innovation), and PLEIADES (DemoES / Digital Demonstrators in Higher Education).
The major projects of the France 2030 program enable the I-SITE to increase the visibility of Lorraine research among the general public and foster collaborations between research and the socio-economic world. Members of I-SITE Lorrain are leading 8 major projects of excellence supported by the National Research Agency as part of the France 2030 investment plan. These projects are notably promoted through the UNYS brand, which brings together certain members of I-Site.
