 Research
activities in a university of technology must
display a high level of quality on fundamental
scientific work and transfer of technology.
The reputation of the laboratories rests upon
excellent scientific work together with good
industrial relations. The UTT has set very
high standards for itself in both areas.
The scientific policy of the UTT is based
on three main elements:
 |
research topics
which define the scope of each research
field at the UTT |
|
research laboratories
which are the operational structures |
|
research activities
which represent the actual work produced
in the laboratories. Each research activity,
whether it is contractual or not, has
specific objectives, deadlines, financial
resources and expected outcomes. |
All post
graduate programs at the UTT are coordinated
by the Post-Graduate School and linked to
the university’s research activities.
The Director of Research facilitates the
implementation of the UTT's research policy
and provides all the logistic support needed
to ensure that activities run efficiently.
The UTT’s research structures can
get support from other services or departments
at the university :
|
the library |
|
the computing, networking
and data storage center |
|
the industrial relations
department, which provides assistance
and support to all activities related
to transfer of technology. |
Since 1 January 2008 all the UTT research
teams have joined forces under the auspices
of the Charles
Delaunay Institute (CDI/ICD) and
have been in association with the CNRS
(National Scientific Research Centre) since
2006 as a FRE. (Formation de Recherche en
Evolution : FRE 2848).
Beyond the scientific excellence sought
in each field of research, the objective
of the CDI is to increase the synergies
of its teams under the heading:
“Science
and Technologies for Risk Control”
The Charles Delaunay Institute is composed
of 7 research teams representing
the main disciplines in Engineering and
in Information and Communication Sciences
and Technologies.
They are assisted by technical staff in
their research activities using state-of–the-art
technology. Each one with his or her specific
scientific expertise helps the CDI and its
institutional and industrial partners, which
in turn makes large-scale multi-disciplinary
research programmes possible.
More than 80% of the funding, excluding
in-house researchers’ salaries, comes
from research contracts, a quarter of which
corresponds to contracts with companies
.The results of the research carried out
can be seen both in international scientific
publications and technology transfer.
