Institut Jean Lamour (IJL) is a basic and applied research laboratory in the science and engineering of materials and processes that brings together scientists from various disciplines. A multi-theme laboratory, it covers materials, metallurgy, plasmas, surfaces, nanomaterials and electronics.
A partner laboratory of the School, Institut Jean Lamour (IJL) is establishing itself as one of the largest European centres in the field of materials. It is similarly pre-eminent in surface engineering and innovative nanomaterials and, last but not least, in the art of numerical simulation of thermonuclear fusion. Its influence in this field has earned it a concrete role in the development of ITER, an international project representing €10 billion over 30 years with the ambition to tame the power of the sun.
