RESEARCH: DRIVING FORCE OF THE INSTITUTE

INSA Rouen Normandie is the largest regional public engineering school. It has eight research laboratories in perfect synergy with the training it offers. This dual competence allows it to provide an open-ended response to societal challenges and challenges in the following clusters.

With 8 laboratories including 4 Mixed Research Units and 4 Own Research Teams, INSA Rouen Normandie actively contributes to the promotion of scientific research in Normandy, in France and around the world. The research laboratories collaborate with large companies to achieve high-level projects in the fields of chemistry, energy, computer and information systems applied mathematics, mechanics, materials and process engineering.

Listening to projects and support needs, the Research and Development Department is above all an interface between:

  • companies looking for scientific and technical skills
  • laboratories and researchers wishing to value the results of their research
  • Centers for Studies and Technological and Industrial Research (CERTI)
  • institutions active in local economic development

Training nourished by research: INSA Rouen Normandie has chosen to train its graduates in strong interaction with research so that they can, during their professional life, play a leading role in technological innovation. Students can take a module of initiation to research during their education. Training courses in all fields are backed by research laboratories located on the Rouen-Madrillet, Mont St Aignan and Le Havre campuses. Students wishing to move towards scientific careers can enroll in one of the many research Masters and pursue a thesis in one of the INSA partner doctoral schools.

Scientific Policy: The Scientific Policy is defined by the Scientific Council and implemented by the Research Directorate. INSA Rouen Normandie is also actively involved in the network policy with other INSA: for example on the organization, selection and hosting of Chinese doctoral students in the framework of a partnership with the China Scholarship Council (CSC) and the network of Universities of Technologies, and more recently the reception of students and PhD students from the Dominican Republic via the CALIOPE program.

Site Policy: INSA Rouen Normandie actively participates in the site policy in close ties with Normandy University.

Our missions

  • train doctoral students and develop research masters
  • negotiate industrial and commercial contracts
  • support national and European grant writing
  • guarantee the scientific interests of the INSA, in particular the protection of the results resulting from the research (intellectual property, patent application...)
  • manage the financial execution of contracts

The synergy between teaching and research at INSA Rouen Normandy is based on its hundred teachers-researchers, 50% of whom are accredited to supervise research works. They provide a permanent link between these two worlds. The institute offers, in addition to its engineering programs, seven research masters and is entitled to deliver the PhD. More than one hundred doctoral and post-doctoral students from five continents compose it.
