The training benefits from the exceptional research potential of laboratories associated with UFR PhITEM.
Laboratories
The laboratories associated with UFR PhITEM are attached to the two research clusters of the Université Grenoble Alpes Community:
The strength of organizations such as CNRS and CEA on the Grenoble site, and the historic role of certain disciplines in its scientific development, mean that the UFR is a partner to a very large number of laboratories. Research federations (such as OSUG for earth and universe sciences, the Galileo Galilei de Grenoble federation for mechanics and process engineering, the matière et nanophysique federation for physics, etc.), the nanosciences foundation, and the Laboratoires d'excellence (LabEx) recently accredited as part of the future investment program, all play an essential role in the scientific leadership of the site, the synergy of skills, and even the pooling of equipment and infrastructures.
Doctoral training (level D in the LMD system) is managed by the doctoral schools, in conjunction with the site's laboratories and research teams. Around thirty PhD students come to teach at UFR PhITEM each year, as part of their PhD contract.
Virtually all areas of physics, micro-nanotechnologies, mechanics and earth and universe sciences are represented in the research themes of the 24 laboratories attached to the PEM and PAGE clusters.
Some PhITEM faculty members work in laboratories attached to the Chemistry, Biology and Health cluster, such as the Institute for Structural Biology, the Grenoble Neuroscience Institute or the Institute for Advanced Biosciences (formerly the Albert Bonniot Institute). Others are closely linked to the major instruments on the Grenoble site: ESRF (X-ray scattering), ILL (neutron scattering), LNCMI (intense magnetic fields).
