Relations with Training
As part of research-based training, LyRIDS emphasizes the dissemination of scientific culture to engineering students through two courses offered during their training (ING4 and ING5):
- Research & Development.
- Introduction to Research & Innovation.
Engineering students participate in laboratory visits and workshops led by teacher-researchers from LyRIDS and numerous partner researchers during years 4 and 5.
These visits are complemented by support on research projects in which they get introduced to the profession of research and the scientific approach.
This training enriches pedagogy, enhances the attractiveness of research within an engineering school (more than 50 students/year), and the continuation of studies in research internships and doctoral theses (50% of defended and ongoing theses are former students of ECE).


The doctoral training has been particularly strengthened since 2017. Since that date, LyRIDS has recorded 22 defended theses, including 11 graduates with engineering degrees from ECE, and 10 ongoing theses including 2 graduates with engineering degrees from ECE.
A recent survey on the outcomes of former doctoral students from LyRIDS indicates that 52.6 % of them hold positions in academia and about 45 % are employed in industry.
It is currently difficult to quantify the continuation of studies in other research organizations, but it is clear that the process established within the framework of research training is attractive and motivates engineering graduates to pursue a doctoral training and, for some, to continue towards a PhD.

Work with the best partners
Academic and Industrial Relations
This structuring around an interdisciplinary program has allowed for the creation of numerous scientific collaborations with national and industrial research organizations. The framework and specific agreements signed with research organizations enable the ECE research center to:
- Enroll doctoral candidates in doctoral schools.
- Co-supervise doctoral candidates with thesis directors affiliated with the organizations.
- To carry out joint publications.
- To have access to specific high-tech scientific equipment.
- To sign secondments of EC in research organizations and competitiveness clusters such as the VEDECOM institute (of which ECE is a member).
- To propose CIFRE theses with industrial partners and academic organizations.
A scientific network present throughout France
LyRIDS has a strong connection to the academic and industrial world.

They also enable the LyRIDS to ensure that doctoral students are registered and supervised in doctoral schools, co-supervise doctoral students with research organizations, and produce joint publications.
International Relations
Teacher-researchers actively participate in promoting research internationally in various forms.
Presentation of communications published in conference proceedings with a review committee.
Participation in the program committee, reading committee, and organization of international conferences.
Supervision of international students within the framework of the ERASMUS program and research internships. The research center has welcomed around ten students since 2017.
Inviting world-renowned researchers to present papers.
Participation in the outgoing mobility program to undertake teaching and research stays in a foreign organization.
