The FERMAT Research Federation (Fluids, Energy, Reactors, Materials and Transfers) has for main objective to initiate and to support interdisciplinary research projects in broad domains of Sciences for the Engineer, on Toulouse and the Midi-Pyrenees Region. The hard core of this Federation is made up of teams belonging to 6 laboratories in Toulouse.
The National Polytechnic Institute of Toulouse (Toulouse INP) is a public institution of higher education created in 1969. Its internal schools deliver a formation of engineers in several fields like electronics, informatics, chemistry, materials, agronomy, hydraulics, telecommunications, mechanics, meteorology.
MICA division carries out fundamental and applied microbiological research that aims to understand the functioning of micro-organisms and microbial ecosystems so that they can be better exploited, mastered or controlled.
The Division contains most of the microbiologists working for INRA who are based in 22 research units spread throughout the country, 14 of them being associated with other institutions (engineering schools, universities, CNRS, INSERM, Institut Pasteur, etc.).
The Division employs 335 full-tenure INRA staff, 191 of whom are scientists (researchers and engineers) and 144 are technicians. Its research teams also include some 100 external staff (teacher-researchers, research scientists and engineers from other institutions) and 200 young scientists (doctoral students, post-doctoral fellows), making a total of around 635 people.
The National Center for Scientific Research, or CNRS, is a public organization under the responsibility of the French Ministry of Education and Research.
To anticipate the interdisciplinary challenges of emerging and future systems and services, LAAS-CNRS identified four strategic axes : Adream, Alive, Synergy and Space. They are based on the four major disciplines that have been the hallmark of the laboratory since its inception: computer science, robotics, automatic control and micro and nano systems.
Within these disciplines, research at LAAS revolves around 8 scientific departments running 26 research teams, basic units of research at the laboratory.
Laboratoire d’Ingénierie des Systèmes Biologiques et des Procédés (LISBP) is a mixed research unit (UMR) attached to INRA (UMR 792), CNRS (UMR 5504) and INSA Toulouse. LISBP holds an innovative position at the interface between life sciences and process sciences. Its work has applications in the sectors of health, biotechnologies, water and environment, food processing and agri-business, and chemistry.
La Sfµ est une association loi 1901 qui s’est fixé comme buts :
- l’amélioration des connaissances et le développement des techniques de microscopie
- la formation pratique et l’enseignement théorique
- la diffusion du savoir
- assurer la concertation avec les sociétés commerciales de la profession.
Au cours de l’Assemblée Générale 1996, elle a revu ses statuts pour affirmer son ouverture et sa volonté pluridisciplinaire.
Elle fonctionne avec un Bureau de 8 membres et un Conseil de 13 membres.
La Société Française de Microbiologie (SFM) est une association à but non lucratif, fondée en 1937 et formée dans la tradition pasteurienne, régie par la loi de 1901 et reconnue d'utilité publique depuis 1993.
Objectifs : Promouvoir la microbiologie
Assurer l’éducation
Favoriser la recherche
Stimuler les échanges
Développer les synergies intra et extra SFM
JPK Instruments AG is a world-leading manufacturer of nanoanalytic instruments - particularly atomic force microscope (AFM) systems and optical tweezers - for a broad range of applications reaching from soft-matter physics to nano-optics, from surface chemistry to molecular biology and from cell biology to biomedicine. From its earliest days applying atomic force microscope (AFM) technology, JPK has recognized the opportunities provided by nanotechnology for transforming life sciences and soft matter research.
Lallemand Inc. is a privately-held Canadian company, founded at the end of the 19th century, that specializes in the development, production, and marketing of yeasts and bacteria.
The company is organized into 11 technically-driven business units focusing on various applications of yeast and bacteria in baking, fermented beverages, human and animal nutrition, fuel ethanol and for agricultural and pharmaceutical uses.
La Société Française de Biophysique a pour objectifs de : promouvoir le développement et d'assurer la diffusion de la Biophysique en tant que discipline scientifique.
fédérer la communauté des biophysiciens et la représenter à l'échelon national et international.
