A joint research unit of the University of Lorraine and the CNRS, the LEMTA (Laboratoire Énergies et Mécanique Théorique et Appliquée, UMR 7563), focuses its research activities on Mechanics and Energy and is one of the 5 laboratories of the Jacques Villermaux Research Federation for Mechanics, Energy and Processes. Organized in three research departments and a transverse scientific axis on Magnetic Raisonance Imagery (MRI), the Laboratory contributes to create new knowledge in the field of engineering sciences. This research is carried out by nearly 75 academic staff, 30 administrative and technical staff distributed in shared research support services (finance & administration, mechanical design and manufacturing, electronics & instrumentation, logistics and projects, IT & computing) and about 60 PhD students and post-doctoral fellows.
