Areas of research and expertise
Université Gustave Eiffel's research activities focus on a number of areas, including civil engineering, transport systems and infrastructure, urban resilience, geomatics, management of scientific and technical innovation, architecture, history, etc.
These areas of research and expertise, which come from the five founding institutions, are linked to the themes of the city of the future. They bring together laboratories, researchers and doctoral students, and contribute to offering multidisciplinary skills in order to conduct quality research for the benefit of society.
