The 5th international meeting of the bestHONEY project was held in Compiègne from April 8 to 10, 2026. The goal of this Erasmus+ initiative is to improve hygiene, packaging and production standards for high-quality honey at the European level.
UTC is launching the CREM joint laboratory with the CETIM to accelerate innovation in the field of electromobility and address the multiphysical challenges that are profoundly transforming the mechanical engineering industries. This complementary partnership targets the off-road sector, the rail industry, mechanical equipment, industrial machinery and, more broadly, all sectors committed to decarbonizing their systems.
For CETIM, CREM is part of a long-term strategy: that of a collaborative research model that has been developing for nearly 60 years with the goal of continuously bridging the gap between academic research and industrial needs. An in-depth look with CETIM’s Director of Research, Philippe Lubineau.
A TEDxTalks conference took place in a UTC lecture hall on March 28, 2026 on the theme “Exploring Your Time.” It was an afternoon of talks featuring six speakers, each speaking for 20 minutes about our current world.
UTC and Cetim are reaching a major new milestone in their strategic partnership by launching the joint laboratory CREM – Cetim, Roberval for Electromobility.
Nacim Bensakhria, a 2022 UTC graduate majoring in computer engineering and specializing in data mining, founded the startup Apoly in 2024, combining his two passions: engineering and event planning.
The Quatrium platform is managed by the CETIM. Its mission is to support investment projects in technologies for the so-called “industry of the future” and the ecological and energy transition of manufacturing companies in the Hauts-de-France region Hauts-de-France Region. An in-depth look with Gabriel Péru, industrial development advisor and lead for the Quatrium platform in Hauts-de-France.
The academic chair for “The Future of Project Management” was established between UTC-Compiegne and SKEMA Business School, with support from the industrial partners the Renault and Saint-Gobain Groups. An in-depth look at its ambition and objectives regarding challenges such as increasing complexity, artificial intelligence, new collaborative methods, and sustainable performance.
University full professor Erwann Guénin is a research scientist working at TIMR, a joint laboratory between UTC and ESCOM. He leads a team of lecturer-cum-research scientists from UTC and ESCOM, including Gérald Enderlin, a lecturer at ESCOM and project leader for the TIMR Laboratory. They are members of the CERISEA consortium, coordinated by ResiCare, a subsidiary of Michelin.
Founder of the start-up Octometha, Vincent Bachet and his team have developed a major innovation for decarbonising agriculture: a slurrybased methanisation process that recovers agricultural residues that are currently little or not at all exploited, such as manure and straw.
Nicolas Damay, lecturer, works at the UTC Roberval laboratory. Khadija El Kadri Benkara, a research scientist in the same laboratory, is responsible for all electrical energy research platforms. Their research focuses on optimizing the life and performance of electric batteries.
Nathalie Sage-Pranchère is a historian and CNRS researcher at the SPHERE laboratory. She was one of the speakers on the round table at 7th Biomedical Rendez-vous at UTC. Her research focuses on the social history of healthcare in the contemporary era, with a particular emphasis on the history of perinatal care, foetal and neonatal illnesses and, more broadly, the history of the healthcare professions. Let the readers appreciate meeting her!
As a tenured university professor, David Flacher has succeeded in his gamble with EPOG+ (Economic Policies for Global bifurcation), an Erasmus Mundus Master’s program launched in 2018, since the European Union (EU) decided to fund EPOG-JM (Joint Master), the new Erasmus Mundus master’s programme, with 5 million euros. A Master’s degree focusing on the theme of the necessary ecological bifurcation.
Luc Julia, Scientific Director with the Group Renault, is also the author of the book “L’intelligence artificielle n’existe pas” [“AI doesn’t exist”], published by First Editions. In favour of regulating AI, he nonetheless calls for intelligent regulation.
Sabine Bensamoun is a research director at the CNRS and works in the CNRS/BMBI joint research unit at UTC. She is also a research associate at the Mayo Clinic (Rochester, USA) and a member of the CNRS National Committee (CoNRS). With Dr Fabrice Charleux of ACRIM, she took part in the international liver study that led to the hepatogram.
