Bordeaux INP's strategic focuses
Bordeaux INP strives to affirm its scientific and technological expertise at the regional, national and international levels to respond to the challenges society will face in the future.
The goal is to develop the institute's ability to meet businesses' needs for training, scientific and technological expertise and innovation, in order to support the economic and social development of the region and the country.

GEOLOGICAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
Circular economy of water
Circular economy of water
The many challenges posed by water resource management require a global, interdisciplinary perspective in order to identify innovative solutions in terms of uses and technological innovations.
3 schools involved: ENSCBP-Bordeaux INP, ENSEGID-Bordeaux INP, ENSGTI*.
2 associated laboratories: G&E 1 / LaTEP 2
Projects
- Creation of an International Master’s programme : "Water Sciences"
- Creation of an interdisciplinary scientific and technical centre drawing on the expertise of the many centres and clusters in the Nouvelle Aquitaine region (AVENIA, Agri Sud-Ouest Innovation, Pôle Océanique Aquitain etc.)
1. Georesources & Environment run jointly by Bordeaux INP, Bordeaux Montaigne University
2. Laboratory of Thermal Engineering, Energy and Processes affiliated with the University of Pau and Pays de l’Adour
BIO-INGENIERIE FOR THE FUTURE
Advanced and biobased materials/Synthetic biology
Advanced and biobased materials/Synthetic biology
Considered to be an emerging field, bio-engineering is based on the engineering of biological components and systems that do not exist in nature and/or re-engineering of existing biological elements.

ENERGY TRANSITION
Eco-building / Eco-friendly processes / Bio-materials
Eco-building / Eco-friendly processes / Bio-materials
The future of our society is closely linked to easy access to energy at a reasonable cost. At the same time, production and uses must evolve to combat global warming. The challenge is therefore to develop new resources and sensible, effective waste management in general.
