The Université de Lyon, the CNRS and Tohoku University are strengthening their cooperation in materials science and engineering
On The March 5, 2018
On March 5, 2018, the Université de Lyon with the CNRS received a delegation from Tohoku University (Japan) led by its President, Susumu Satomi, to develop the ELyTMaX International Mixed Unit (UMI) and the ELyT Global International Associated Laboratory (LIA).

Twenty representatives from Tohoku University took part in the signing ceremony organized in the afternoon of March 5, 2018, and attended by the Consul of Japan, in Lyon. Two agreements were signed to strengthen the ELyTMaX UMI and create the ELyT Global LIA. These new agreements involve Tohoku University, the CNRS and the Université de Lyon through several of its institutions (INSA Lyon, École Centrale de Lyon, Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1, ENISE, ENTPE and CPE Lyon), marking a new page in this long-standing partnership.

The ELyTMaX UMI, specializing in the study of the behavior of materials in extreme conditions, was inaugurated during the Métropole de Lyon's official visit to Sendai in 2016. It is the first UMI in the world to have a gathering of universities and institutions (COMUE : Communautés d'universités et établissements) agreement, and the first dedicated to structural materials.
The ELyT Global LIA will be focusing more on the applications and societal issues linked to research in the field of engineering science.
