The Quartz Laboratory is a multidisciplinary research unit specializing in the engineering of complex systems. Organized into three teams, it develops research themes focused on systems and materials, while actively engaging in training through research and the transfer of expertise to socio-economic stakeholders.

Through cross-disciplinary projects, the laboratory designs and builds prototypes (digital or physical), tests, and proposes innovative solutions to address both fundamental and applied challenges in complex systems. These approaches systematically integrate economic, environmental, and human dimensions.

Since its creation in 2015, the laboratory has been actively involved in several competitiveness clusters and research groups (GdR). Its complementary areas of expertise enable it to excel in fundamental research, while promoting the transfer and commercialization of results to benefit academic and industrial stakeholders.

Aware of the human, social, economic, and environmental challenges shaping its ecosystem, the laboratory bases its scientific strategy on three pillars :

• Contributing to scientific excellence ;

• Serving as a driver of industrial innovation ;

• Anticipating the major challenges of a sustainable industry for the future.
