Established in 1816, and part of the French « Grandes Ecoles » system, the Ecole des Mines (EMSE) ensures 3 key missions: education, research and dedication to economic development. Education is based on a well-balanced blend of scientific core subjects, engineering techniques and economic and human sciences taught by professors closely related to the economic world. The graduates from EMSE have been at the forefront of technological progress in the whole industry, in France and abroad. EMSE has opened its horizons to international partnerships with 35 countries in Europe, Asia, North and South America. Today, EMSE has more than 80 academic partners worldwide, 19 double-diploma agreements as part as its Executive Engineering degree program, and research partnerships with the world’s top universities.
Through several national and international projects and via FAYOL Research Institute (Center for Industrial Engineering and Environmental Sciences) EMSE is currently developing a strong research expertise on Factory of the Future, and brings to the FoF Designer project an internationally recognized expertise on Product-Service-Systems (PSS) on its scientific, industrial and educational dimensions. FAYOL Institute develops integrated methodologies, modelling environment and decision-making supports transition towards PSS and industrial digitization.
