Vision 2030
Vision 2030
The future of invention is a research challenge. This programme states what we want to find out, how we will know, and what it requires.
A strategic research capability for tomorrow’s industry
01
A distinctive research line in Strasbourg
Three decades of inventive-design research, now combined with machine learning and language models.
02
Advanced skills
Doctoral candidates trained at the junction of engineering design and artificial intelligence.
03
Industry–academia collaboration
Partners bring problems; research brings methods; demonstrators carry the result back.
04
Transfer potential
Demonstrators designed to be used, and a transfer path through SATT Conectus.
05
Technological sovereignty
Mastery of AI methods for invention, including models that can run on European or local infrastructure.
