LICSEN is very much involved in various forms of valorization of its research activities. This results in the filing of patents, the development of bilateral projects with industrial partners, joint laboratories with SMEs and contributions to the creation of startups.
Ongoing European and French projects and training networks involving industrial partners:
CIFRE PhD thesis of Thibault Rosier (Recyclage de métaux critiques perdus et issus de cartes de circuits imprimés usagés), from the company ECOLOGIC. PhD advisor: Jean-Christophe Gabriel.
CIFRE PhD thesis of Emilie Roch (Optimization of the coating of commercial coils for the healing of intracranial aneurysms : from the laboratory to the industrial process), from the company BALT Extrusion. PhD advisor : Fanny Hauquier, Director : Guy Deniau.
The i-Demo CICACOILS (healing coils) project, funded by BPi France, was approved in December 2023 for 5 years. Led by Balt Extrusion, in collaboration with Laboratory for vascular translational science (LVTS-INSERM), CHU Limoges-EMIS and F. Hauquier/G. Deniau for LICSEN.
