Research at the Heart of HESTIM

Center for Research, Innovation and Management

CERIM embodies HESTIM’s research momentum. It brings together scientific activities in Engineering Sciences and Management Sciences, promoting academic excellence, interdisciplinarity and engagement with major scientific and socio-economic challenges.

Structured, Interdisciplinary Research Connected to Its Environment

Scientific research is a major pillar of HESTIM’s academic development. Through the CERIM – Center for Research, Innovation and Management, HESTIM structures and coordinates its research, innovation and knowledge-transfer activities in the fields of Engineering Sciences and Management Sciences.

CERIM brings together faculty researchers, doctoral faculty and doctoral students around contemporary scientific, technological, economic and managerial challenges. It promotes both fundamental and applied research, supports scientific output and fosters academic, scientific and socio-economic collaboration.

It also coordinates HESTIM’s various research structures and fosters synergies between disciplines, teams and scientific partners.
