A2M
A2M (Atelier des Microondes sur la Matière) is a transfer cell
Characterising, heating and controlling materials using microwaves
For more than 15 years, A2M has been providing companies with scientific expertise and equipment to analyse the interaction between matter and electromagnetic waves and to develop the industrial uses of microwaves
Vehicule
On a 250 m² surface, the “Vehicule of the Futur” plateform constitute a true technology showcase of the testing means developed for the implementation in pratice, for experimental and tranfert purpose, of research leads by the CRONE team in collaboration with the car manufacturer PSA and the outfitter BOSCH, in the context of the labeling as a team of technology research. Since 2011, this platform is in the forefront of the OpenLab PSA-IMS “Electronics and Systems for Automotive”, common laboratory between PSA Peugeot Citroën and the IMS laboratory.
