HANDBOOK

INVESTMENTS FOR THE FUTURE

Awarded by the French National Research Agency (ANR) as part of the major government investment programs in the fields of higher education

and research:

Labex : laboratories of excellence To increase scientific excellence and originality, the transfer of knowledge produced and, thereby, the international visibility of French research, while drawing other national laboratories into this dynamic; To guarantee the excellence of the courses, and to play a driving role in the master's and doctorate level training; To be part of the strategy of their parent institutions and to strengthen the dynamics of the sites concerned.

University Research Schools: French Graduate School

To offer each university site or establishment the possibility of strengthening the impact and international attractiveness of its research and its training in one or more scientific field(s), by the creation of one or more university research schools which will bring together master and doctoral trai- ning as well as one or more top

research laboratories level.

THE PARTNERSHIP OF 2 UNIVERSITIES RECOGNIZED FOR THEIR EXCELLENCE

TACTIC: Transverse Actions between Ceramics & ICT

• To attract and train high-level French and Foreign Master and PhD students in the areas of advanced ceramics & ICT in order to satisfy the needs of the European labs (in particular IRCER and XLIM) and industries

• To provide and coordinate a graduate programme that establishes the Limoges area as one of the top 10 undisputed international actors in Ceramics and ICT

• To improve the state-of-the-art of the research activities carried out by the LabEx

• To restructure for the 10 coming years the education programmes in the Limoges campus by promoting interdisciplinary between Ceramics and ICT

• To implement a new efficient governance that assigns priority to the training-research link

The University of Limoges is one of the 53 laureates (out of 272

applicants) of the new French excellence program of “Ecoles

Universitaires de Recherche” (French Graduate Schools)

Scientific domains:

Science and Techno.: 25 (47%)

Environment and life sciences: 12 (23%)

The Ceramics & ICT TACTIC Graduate School (GS) aims at training future highly skilled professionals in the domains of Ceramics and Information & Communication Technologies (ICT), able to understand the challenges and needs of the international research and industry and fully exploit the inno- vation potential of the interface between Ceramics and ICT. Led by the Uni- versity of Limoges, in partnership with the University of Poitiers and CNRS, it benefits from a unique industrial, research and training ecosystem in Eu-

rope in the domains of Ceramics and ICT.

The High frequency electronics & photonics track is a diploma in the field of high technologies for high- frequency electronic and optical communications. The track prepares students for research, engineering studies, development and production in the field of high frequency and optical technologies.

The Advanced ceramics track has the objective to train high-level specialists in the field of ceramic materials and processes for professional integration into the industry (engineering level) or research (R&D, academic, …). The training is mainly based on fundamental and thematic courses covering in a transversal way the physical and chemical aspects of functional ceramic materials and their processes of elaboration, shaping, surface treatments and control.

The Smart Internet of Things (Smart IoT) track trains the design engineering of connected objects in the areas of data acquisition,

embedded systems, wireless technologies, analysis and data processing. It allows students to integrate the design offices of companies specializing in the Internet of Things and support companies and structures that integrate the Internet Of Things into

their development strategy.

The Information security track has the objective to train specialists in the study and development of cryptographic solutions and coding information. It allows to acquire a double competence: – a mastery of the mathematical foundations of cryptology and coding of information: theory numbers, elliptic curves, security proofs, Boolean functions, formal calculus, theory some

information… – operational know-how: software development, smart cards, formal methods, programming secure, computer networks,

standards and technological standards.

The Computer graphics track has a dual purpose: -to train professionals who possess knowledge in line with the professional sector concerned;-to train students who can fit into the world of research. The aim of the second year is to offer advanced specialization in the areas of image synthesis and graphic design, combined with professional teaching.

The Software design and development track has the objective to train computer engineers in research and development in industry,

services or research. The concerned sectors are the software development, synthesis and image analysis, the basics of data, data analysis massive, embedded computing, etc. The scientific field of the master concerns:

This applied mathematics & optimisation Master degree of the Graduate School offers a background in applied mathematics. It prepares for careers as an engineer or researcher in the following areas: optimization, symbolic-numerical computation, mathematical methods for automatic, optimization of form and optimal control.The symbolic and numerical approach of the problems addressed, as well as certain themes like the optimization of form, make this master an original formation in France.

For each of the 7 tracks, a pool of disciplinary courses, named “major”, is proposed. It constitutes the scientific core of the

student personal path. It contains both courses of the existing Masters’ offer (“core courses”) and new in-depth disciplinary courses designed to give students a high-level of specialisation. Each GS student has to take 2 in-depth disciplinary courses, chosen among 3, according to his/her own personal path. Each track promotes interdisciplinarity, which is undoubtedly a leverage in the innovation process and an added-value for improving the employability as it gives additional skills.

Minor courses are designed in two levels: i) a pool of interdisciplinary courses. Each GS student has to take 2 interdisciplinary courses, chosen among 3, according to his/her own personal path. To refine the process, each

course will be preceded by a short bridging courses to ensure the students have the necessary prerequisites to learn in best conditions. ii) a long research/industry working group project gathering several students from mixed GS tracks. It will use innovative project management techniques such as co-design. Such a learning programme will promote interactions with researchers and socio-economic partners involved in the project. Such a project will promote interactions between students and give them an interdisciplinary vision of their future tasks by making them experience different ways of thinking and working approach.

SOFT SKILLS

The common structure of the graduate program promotes multidisciplinarity, innovation by cross-fertilisation, immersion in

research laboratories, international mobility and connections with the socio-economic world. Working group projects aim to get transverse skills and interdisciplinary vision through thinking and working approach: innovation, creativity

processes and co-design.
