3 areas of research

The aim of I-Site FUTURE and Université Gustave Eiffel is to invent the cities of tomorrow. These cities must guarantee quality of life for users. It must be capable of understanding and managing urban risk. It must also offer services that improve its social, environmental and economic performance, using digital technology.

The synergy between digital technology and sustainable cities has sparked a multitude of projects and new, original research themes, to which ESIEE Paris can contribute in the areas of sensors, data processing, flow management and optimisation of buildings and structures for better energy management.

ESIEE Paris faculty members participate in research programmes in the area of health, in close collaboration with companies and various university hospitals (CHU). 2 partner laboratories  : LIGM laboratory, with the development of image processing algorithms, and of the ESYCOM laboratory, with the design and creation of innovative microsensors for the environment and health.

These activities fall under two themes: Medical imaging and Sensors and instrumentation for health.

The convergence between hard science and social and economic science is represented at ESIEE Paris by research activity in innovation management and technological change management.

It is characterised by a range of themes and disciplines that combine management science (finance, entrepreneurship, marketing, strategy, project management, etc.), economic and social science (industrial and innovation economy, international economy, space economy, etc.) and management of new technologies (practices and knowledge of information science, materials science and living science), including in cutting-edge sectors like nanotechnology.
