Discover and practise research on state-of-the-art experimental platforms across the Lorraine site!
Are you in Master’s Year 1 or 2, or enrolled in an engineering school? Certain Master’s and engineering programmes offer Excellence Practicals (TP d’excellence).
These ORION-labelled practicals enable you to conduct research on cutting-edge experimental platforms across the Lorraine site. They constitute (or will eventually constitute) a course unit (UE) of 30 or 32 contact hours with ECTS credits awarded to participants.
