Nîmes University Institute of Technology

Technology platforms

The Nîmes University Institute of Technology (IUT), which remains committed to technology transfer to businesses, has developed several technology platforms. These platforms enable IUT students to gain an introduction to research and development, and put the IUT’s resources, the students’ motivation, and the expertise of its technical staff and faculty at the service of businesses.

The activities of technology platforms can range from diagnostics to the development of innovative processes, including the provision of technological services.

  • The "smart home": dedicated to experimentation and training in the ever-evolving tools, techniques, and connected devices.
  • The "Electric Vehicle Powertrain Solutions" technology platform: developing simple and robust electric powertrains.
  • Batim’Handicap: an initiative that raises awareness of accessibility issues in housing and facilitates the development and testing of products.
  • The Anamat platform: which analyzes the microstructure and behavior of materials.
  • The Additive Manufacturing Platform: As part of the Gard Technology Platform, we offer expertise and a wide range of resources for 3D additive manufacturing.
  • The Nîmes branch of the Montpellier University Space Center: which develops nanosatellites (mechanical structure, power board, antenna system, etc.).

The Nîmes University Institute of Technology also has a learning lab and a learning center that offer collaborative workspaces equipped with modular furniture, interactive whiteboards and screens, videoconferencing facilities, and writing walls.

Always on the lookout for new technologies and in close collaboration with the research laboratories at the University of Montpellier, we regularly update our platforms to ensure they remain technologically advanced and affordable for our students.
