Four ways to work with us, depending on who you are.

01

Industrial partnership

For R&D, innovation and technology leaders

  • Bring the problems your teams cannot solve with routine methods.
  • Create IDEAS accounts for your collaborators and open all the flagship software: Finder, TRIZBench, ARIZ-Copilot, FusionMind, PatentSpark, HiveScan, TRIZApp.
  • Shape the Chair’s research agenda and take part in its events.

02

Scientific collaboration

For laboratories, researchers, doctoral candidates

  • Co-supervision, joint projects and visiting stays.
  • Shared research questions on inventive design and AI.
  • Our publications and projects are the best entry point.

03

Institutional support

For foundations, public authorities and funding bodies

  • A research capability rooted in Strasbourg with industrial reach.
  • A five-year programme with explicit milestones and indicators.
  • Clear separation between results, ongoing work and ambitions.

04

Contribute resources

For companies, labs and cloud or computing providers

  • Our models are trained and evaluated in Strasbourg, on a frugal budget.
  • GPU hours, cloud credits, annotated industrial problems or expert evaluators help us go further.
  • Every contribution is acknowledged in the papers and model cards it made possible.

Positions

PhD theses, postdoctoral positions and engineering internships open as funding allows, at the crossroads of inventive design and artificial intelligence. Spontaneous applications are welcome: tell us about your background and the problems that interest you.

Expertise

Requests for assistance from the team are covered by a service agreement handled by SATT Conectus. We give priority to partners of the Chair. Companies outside the Chair can be put in touch with the start-ups created from our tools.

Training

An introduction to the foundations of TRIZ and inventive design: 14 hours, either two consecutive days or seven two-hour videoconference sessions. Day one is a theoretical and methodological immersion; day two applies the concepts to a case study.
