BUSINESS Human capital Developing French/Indian academic cooperation Throughout its scientific and industrial history, France has always placed a high priority on engineering education, as substantiated by a long tradition of excellence within the Grandes Ecoles. The GEM network (Groupe des Ecoles des Mines) is certainly a prime example of the French system, which has earned an international reputation. With more than 250 partnerships with universities all over the world, the GEM is also a very active educational partner in India. Department of Polymers and Composites Technology & Mechanical Engineering, Ecole des Mines de Douai This 70-member department was founded 25 years ago at the request of the French plastics and composites processing industry. Its activities cover education and training, and both fundamental and industry-driven research. The department offers services in two main areas: processing technologies for plastics and composite materials and industrial parts, and structural mechanics. The research facilities comprise 5,000 m2 of workshops and laboratories, including: - a processing workshop with industrial manufacturing machines for plastic and composite parts (injection moulding, extrusion, (co-)extrusion blowing, rotational moulding, thermoforming, filament winding, automated fibre placement, RTM and infusion, compression, and more); - a full-scale characterization workshop for industrial parts (including highpressure vessels) subject to long- or short-term mechanical static and/or dynamic loading in controlled environments (temperature, relative humidity, etc.); - a materials characterization lab equipped with devices for thermo-mechanical, rheological, physical, thermal, structural (microscopy, etc.), dimensional (3D, contactless, etc.), non-destructive (ultrasound, acoustic emission, infrared) evaluations; - a computing lab using simulation codes covering different scientific fields (rheology, mechanics, heat transfer). www.ensm-douai.fr/fr/recherche/tpc/tpcim_accueil.html PROF. PATRICIA KRAWCZAK, PROFESSOR & HEAD DR. STÉPHANE PANIER, ASSISTANT PROFESSOR DEPARTMENT OF POLYMERS & COMPOSITES TECHNOLOGY & MECHANICAL ENGINEERING ECOLE DES MINES DE DOUAI esigned to educate top-level engineers, the GEM network brings together seven prestigious French engineering colleges. These teach a comprehensive range of science and technology subjects that address the industry’s requirements, to a total of some 7,000 students, including 20% from abroad. Of the 2,200 graduates per year, 250 are PhDs. The GEM network is also an outstanding research centre comprising 43 research labs and more than 1,000 faculty members. It generates more than 15% of the total turnover derived from research contracts signed with the industrial sector in France. Joint French-Indian GEM-IITD seminar, September 24-26, 2008, New Delhi, India The goal of this workshop is to identify any converging interests and complementary skills so as to establish further cooperation between GEM and IITD in the fields of materials science and environmental engineering. This type of cooperation would aim at sharing human resources (exchange of PhD students, post-doctoral fellows, professors) and facilities within the framework of joint research projects. The workshop will be held over a period of three days, with two days devoted to the presentation of each institute’s research work and one day for exchanges/meetings between researchers. www.gemtech.fr Educational and R&D cooperation in India The GEM network has already signed institutional agreements with some of the most prestigious Indian institutions offering outstanding academic and research excellence. The agreements facilitate both No43 September 2008 / JEC Composites Magazine
