At a time when École des Ponts is drawing up its strategic plan, we have invited Françoise Prêteux to present the strategy for research at our school. She will give us her vision for the various laboratories, their 380 researchers and 450 doctoral students. We will benefit from her experience in governing several research entities and in establishing numerous research partnerships with the private sector.



François Prêteux and Jean-François Caron will unveil the ambitious Co-Innovation Lab@Ecole des Ponts project and its first instanre instanciation with a platform dedicated to digital construction, a field in which École des Ponts aims to establish itself as a leader. Technological innovations such as 3D printing, robotization and machine learning will revolutionize the construction industry in the years to come. We'll be looking at how researchers can tackle these issues in collaboration with industry.
