The Saint Exupéry Technological Research Institute (IRT), established in Sophia Antipolis since 2017, is joining the Med’Innov University Innovation Hub (PUI)! This partnership declaration is part of the rollout of the Saint Exupéry IRT’s roadmap within the French Riviera region, aiming to strengthen its ties with the Med’Innov scientific community. Focused on the aeronautics, space,[…]
The aerospace industry is increasingly committing to the transition toward electrical systems with the goal of reducing emissions and optimizing efficiency. In this context, and in response to these requirements, Gallium Nitride (GaN) power transistors are emerging as the prime candidates to meet the demanding challenges imposed by the transportation industry. They are particularly notable[…]
The HIGHVOLT 2 project has just reached completion, marking a crucial milestone in supporting the aerospace, automotive, and rail industries toward massive electrification. Spanning 48 months, it follows in the footsteps of the FIABILITE and HIGHVOLT projects with a clear ambition: to master the physical phenomena associated with increasing voltage in embedded systems. A Central[…]
Ice accretion on exposed aircraft surfaces poses a major risk to flight safety, reduces aerodynamic performance, and increases energy consumption. Current de-icing systems, while effective, are penalizing in terms of weight, integration complexity, and energy requirements. The FREEzING 2 project, led by IRT Saint Exupéry, aims to cross a technological threshold by exploring new passive[…]
After 46 months of R&D, the ACDC project (Advanced Composites for Acoustic and vibration Damping Control) has reached its goal: developing innovative composite materials and structures to reduce noise and vibrations in aircraft nacelles and cabins. These innovations aim to enhance passenger comfort, ensure compliance with acoustic standards, and pave the way for a more[…]
Artificial Intelligence (AI) applied to materials is a strategic activity at IRT Saint Exupéry, standing at the crossroads of our “Intelligent Technologies” and “Advanced Manufacturing Technologies” pillars. Our ambition? To provide comprehensive mastery of an industrial part’s lifecycle from design and manufacturing to quality analysis to accelerate innovation in critical environments such as aeronautics and[…]
he GIPSE project (Green Innovative Processes for Surface Engineering) is a direct continuation of the COBRA project (Control Of Bonding for Reliable Assemblies), led by IRT Saint Exupéry and its industrial partners. While COBRA enabled a major step forward in mastering and industrializing advanced bonding processes, GIPSE now aims to extend these technologies to new[…]
In a context where Europe is investing in more sovereign, reliable, and transparent artificial intelligence, initiatives such as DEEL and FOR, led by IRT Saint Exupéry, are playing a central role. Interpreto is an open-source library dedicated to NLP explainability, designed to better understand and interpret natural language processing models. These structuring programs demonstrate their[…]
Each year, IRT Saint Exupéry presents the results of its Professional Gender Equality Index. This tool aims to combat pay inequalities between men and women and is mandatory for all companies with at least 50 employees. Discover the full results of IRT Saint Exupéry for the year 2025 through the details below: “Pay gap” indicator:[…]
Industrial and academic partners, researchers, engineers, project teams and colleagues, we wish you all a wonderful year 2026! May this new year be marked by innovation, collaboration and technological progress, serving an industry that is ever more high-performing, sustainable and sovereign. Thank you to all those who, every day, contribute through their commitment and expertise[…]
