Research Labs

Polytech Nantes is home to 7 world-renowned high-level research laboratories with cutting edge equipment. The strength of these research labs lies in their numerous research contracts with businesses, in particular small companies, as well as in their significant involvement in European and international collaborations.

Our laboratories have a number of academic and industrial partners both in France and abroad. French and foreigh students carry out research projects in these laboratories. The professors conduct research activities alongside their teaching missions.

Polytech Nantes welcome PhD students in its laboratories.
