Process and Materials Sciences Laboratory
CNRS UPR3407
Created on January 1, 2011, the LSPM (UPR3407) is a CNRS unit located on the Villetaneuse campus of the University Sorbonne Paris-Nord (USPN), within the Galileo Institute. The unit, composed of researchers and teacher-researchers in process engineering, mechanics, physics and chemistry, has the general objective to develop research in the fields of processes and materials. This research aims to respond to major societal challenges such as energy, transportation and nanotechnology.
