LABORATORIES
The ENSTIB hosts three research laboratories on the Campus Bois: LERMAB, specializing in wood and bio-based materials; CRAN, focused on automation and intelligent systems; and IJL, experts in materials science. These laboratories support students and industry in innovative projects related to the wood sector.
The LERMAB, a multidisciplinary laboratory of the University of Lorraine recognized by INRA, conducts research on the valorization of wood and natural fibers in various scientific fields such as biology, chemistry, process engineering, materials, mechanics, civil engineering, and energy.
The Jean Lamour Institute, a CNRS and University of Lorraine laboratory, specializes in the science and engineering of materials and processes. Its broad range of expertise allows it to address materials from property studies to manufacturing processes..
The CRAN, Center for Research in Automatic Control of Nancy, develops research addressing the challenges of Industry 4.0 and the digital transition of businesses in the wood sector, such as quality imaging, distributed intelligence and optimization for the control of production and logistics systems, and digital engineering for BIM and construction.
