ESI Group ESI Group
ESI Group is a leading innovator in Virtual Prototyping software and services. Specialist in material physics, ESI has developed a unique proficiency in helping industrial manufacturers replace physical prototypes by virtual prototypes, allowing them to virtually manufacture, assemble, test and pre-certify their future products. Coupled with the latest technologies, Virtual Prototyping is now anchored in the wider concept of the Product Performance Lifecycle™, which addresses the operational performance of a product during its entire lifecycle, from launch to disposal. The creation of a Hybrid Twin™, leveraging simulation, physics and data analytics, enables manufacturers to deliver smarter and connected products, to predict product performance and to anticipate maintenance needs. ESI solutions help world-leading OEM’s and innovative companies in making sure that their products will pass certification tests - before any physical prototype is built - and that new products are competitive in their market space. Virtual Prototyping addresses the emerging need for products to be smart and autonomous and supports industrial manufacturers in their digital transformation. Today, ESI’s customer base spans nearly every industry sector. The company employs about 1200 high-level specialists worldwide to address the needs of customers in more than 40 countries.
CSMA CSMA
Computational mechanics is a field of research and industrial applications in full development. Its purpose is to model and digitally simulate the behaviour of materials and structures in their environment. At the same time, the constant and very rapid changes in hardware and software allow complex structures with increasingly sophisticated behaviours to be taken into account. Gathered since 1987 within the framework of the GRECO-GIS "Computational mechanics and Artificial Intelligence", our scientific community has wished to pursue and develop the close links that exist in this field between industrial partners and academics at the French European level and by creating the CSMA Association in 1990.
Université Paris-Saclay Université Paris-Saclay
9 institutions (three universities, seven research centers, nine major engineering and business schools) decided to join forces within the Paris-Saclay Campus Foundation to create Université Paris-Saclay. To face the challenges of global competition in terms of education, research, and innovation, these institutions decided to work together on a common project in 2014, pooling courses and research of the highest national and international standards, in order to create Université Paris-Saclay. Université Paris-Saclay offers a wide range of courses, from bachelor's degree to doctorate, recognized at an international level, within the fields of natural, human and social sciences. Students are able to organize their courses, being key players in their own education to better reach their life goals. Université Paris-Saclay's institutions are currently implementing a campus-wide coordinated research strategy, focusing on fundamental science as well as socioeconomic issues, to reach the very best international level. Clusters of research teams have formed on all our campuses and several scientific fields have been—or will soon be—their focus, especially: agriculture and alimentation, health, climate, nanosciences, cell biology, neurology, laser physics, high-performance computing, science and technology. Located on the Paris-Saclay site, at the heart of the most influential private financial and research areas in Europe, Université Paris-Saclay is a significant driving force in the development of industries, particularly in high-tech and technology fields. Several large international companies have already located their research, development and education centers on the Paris-Saclay site (Danone, Air Liquide, Thales, EDF, Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs, Dassault Systèmes, Ipsen, General Electric). They are already developing the products of the future. More companies are expected to join, following a promotional program conducted in coordination with local authorities, and focusing on start-ups and SMBs.
ENS Paris-Saclay ENS Paris-Saclay
ENS Paris-Saclay delivers a scientific and cultural education of the highest standard, continuing the tradition of excellence of the écoles normales supérieures. What sets the School apart is that it brings together disciplines that no other higher education institution combines in quite the same way, or at the same level: the natural sciences, engineering, and the social sciences. In this unique environment, normalien students receive research-intensive training leading to master's and doctoral degrees in their chosen discipline, frequently coupled with an advanced teaching qualification. ENS Paris-Saclay is also a research centre with 14 laboratories covering all the disciplines taught at the School. It maintains partnerships with research organizations such as CNRS, INRIA and the CEA, as well as with other higher education and research institutions. In close collaboration with industry, the School conducts many high-level research programmes through research chairs and joint laboratories involving companies in the aeronautics, aerospace, energy, automotive, and IT sectors (Airbus, EDF, Atos, Hewlett-Packard, etc.).
CNRS CNRS
The French National Centre for Scientific Research is among the world's leading research institutions. Its scientists explore the living world, matter, the Universe, and the functioning of human societies in order to meet the major challenges of today and tomorrow. Internationally recognised for the excellence of its scientific research, the CNRS is a reference in the world of research and development, as well as for the general public.
IACM IACM
Computational Mechanics is the development and application of numerical methods and digital computers to the solution of problems posed by Engineering and Applied Science with the objectives of understanding and harnessing the resources of nature. While Computational Solid Mechanics (CSM) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) are at the core of our activity, such subjects as Thermodynamics, Electro Magnetism, Rigid Body Mechanics, Control Systems and some aspects of Particle Physics fall naturally within the scope of the definition. Indeed the provision of a common forum for discussion, education and research information transfer between the diverse disciplines represented is the main "raison d'être" of IACM.
ECCOMAS ECCOMAS
he European Community on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences (ECCOMAS) was founded in 1993. ECCOMAS is a scientific organization grouping together European associations with interests in the development and applications of computational methods in science and technology. In 2008 it could celebrate its 15th anniversary with the ECCOMAS Multidisciplinary Jubilee Symposium on New Computational Challenges in Materials, Structures and Fluids in Vienna. In the meantime 23 European national and regional associations became members in ECCOMAS, some of them representing several national organizations. The Mission of ECCOMAS is to promote joint efforts of European universities, research institutes and industries which are active in the broader field of numerical methods and computer simulation in Engineering and Applied Sciences and to address critical societal and technological problems with particular emphasis on multidisciplinary applications. ECCOMAS promotes joint efforts of European universities, research institutes and industries which are active in the broader field of Numerical Methods and Computer Simulations in Engineering and Applied Sciences (i.e. Computational: Solid and Structural Mechanics, Fluid Dynamics, Acoustics, Electromagnetics, Physics, Chemistry, Applied Mathematics, and Scientific Computing) hereinafter called " Fields of ECCOMAS". ECCOMAS activities can be summarized in the organization of large-scale European congresses; support of regional conferences; endorse thematic conferences and workshops; promote young investigator conferences or courses and encourage the organization of open industrial days within its fields.
