Why study at the GEM ? > High-level research and technology transfer
Research at the GEM is characterized by three main ambitions: 
a high scientific level demonstrated by its publications and communications within the world of science, as well as by the management of numerous laboratories linked to the CNRS and the involvement of its research teams in numerous national and international networks a strong connection with the economic world achieved by research contracts and technology transfers with large French and foreign industrial groups, as well as with a number of small or medium size hi-tech companies. a strong interaction with teaching activities.
Research orientation in 5 majors areas
As Graduate Schools training engineers and researchers, the different GEM schools have structured their research along five main lines :
Materials Engineering focuses on processing, the problems of corrosion, biomaterials, ceramics and materials properties (mechanics, functions etc).
Process Engineering focuses on the physico-chemical processes bringing into play powders, sensors for the continual checking of processes, the treatment of wood, safety problems linked to fluids and the geochemical problems of natural processes, energy, the optimization of energy consumption in processes.
Environmental Engineering and Earth Sciences focuses on clean processes, earth treatment, problems linked to safety, geographic information systems and environmental management particularly in small and medium size industries.
Industrial Engineering and Organization, particularly the networks of small and medium size companies and the organization of developed workshops
Information Technology, the main areas being safety and validity of information on the Internet, multi-agent systems, image processing, industrial computation, algorithms, networks, critical systems, bioinformatics.
