Icam International Research Days

Presentation

2IRD2 2025 – 18 & 19 June 2025 – Strasbourg, France

Icam, a French School of Engineering, has 7 campuses in France and 6 overseas, and a strong Research Organisation. Icam’s research vision is to foster and share scientific progress by ensuring a socially-responsible transition for industries into environmentally-friendly new technologies.

All projects share sustainable development as a common denominator – seeking innovation that is not at the expense of humanity and the environment. Progress is aimed at contributing to both technological and social progress, with a focus on the following three key strategic research areas:

For 10 years now, French Icam researcher-lecturers have been gathering every other year to exchange their research and get to know each other.

This 2025, Icam’s research team is partnering with HochSchule Offenburg, ICube Laboratory, Institut Charles Sadron, Strasbourg University and France 2030 to elevate its research on an international scale. All academic research partners are invited to join the International Research Days.
