Scientific activity relies on the involvement of all the participants: researchers, technicians, teaching and administrative staff, coming from different backgrounds who contribute to the fundamental and technological knowledge base, in subjects ranging from the sciences to the humanities: all vital in our teaching.
Since its restructuring in 1999, the University of Technology implemented a policy favouring the convergence in the activities of the 7 research departments around the subject of terrestrial transport and energy, going beyond the confines of the traditional sciences.
This strategy has:
- given UTBM a greater exposure to our institutional and private partners
- accelerated the development of our research laboratories
- encouraged interdisciplinary exchange
- greatly increased the number of doctoral theses being undertaken
- contributed to development and technology exchange.
UTBM and the University of Franche-Comté are accredited as two Doctoral Universities and jointly offer three Masters in Research.
