At MINES Saint-Étienne, our research model is constructed from an approach driven by industrial questions at the same time as aiming for a high academic level. It is organized around 5 Research and Academic Centres which are positioned according to their application areas; their departments, others are integrated as disciplinary teams in the CNRS UMR and a joint team CEA , the site of Lyon – Saint-Étienne and Aix- Marseille.
