FuturProd strives to be a leader in the development of sustainable organizations and technologies for Industries of the Future in order to innovate production and consumption trends. Its objective is to train a new generation of scientists capable of driving European industrial production systems towards more sustainable ones, including human development and environmental concerns alongside digital opportunities. Topics addressed are related to technological innovations and new materials, industrial engineering and new organizational methods, economic analyses, organizational changes and business transformation.

This program trains expert talents in Industrial and Mechanical Engineering, Material Sciences and Economics for their contribution to the sustainable production with an open-minded multidisciplinary approach. The student develops knowledge on both his/her own specialty (Industrial/Mechanical engineering, Material sciences or Economics) and through multidisciplinary courses that make understand the transition toward a sustainable production. Internships in research laboratories (3 ECTS at M1 level then one semester at M2 level) immerses the student in high-level research practices and environments.

How to apply

Specific courses

• An integration event at the beginning of the first semester. Discovery of research laboratories, including scientific questions and experimental facilities. Discovery of common facilities for research in Grenoble. Discovery of young researchers’ work of the field.
• Multidisciplinary course 1 (Semester 7): Challenges of the production transition. Sharing the vision of the main issues for the transition to sustainable production from the manufacturing point of view, material point of view and economical point of view.
• Multidisciplinary course 2 (Semester 8): AI methods for research in production. Data-based techniques are new methods of great interest in research. Discovering of the methods and their applications in research in industrial engineering, material sciences and economics.
• Open-mind specialized course 3 (Semester 9): Specific course on industrial engineering, material or economics. This course offer can change every year depending on the most recent research results and the invited professors. It groups together master and doctoral students.
• Summer school (Semester 10): Multidisciplinary training and research. At the end of the training, the summer schools groups together M1 and M2 master students and PhD candidates in exchanges on research and training practices in multidisciplinary environment.
