The AMUtech institute is developing a direct partnership with STMicroelectronicsin the field of advanced materials and systems for micro and nanoelectronics. 

AMUtech’s research units collaborate with a number of players in the industrial sector:

• Arcelor Mittal, steel group
• Arkema, a chemical group specialising in specialty chemicals and performance materials
• Bruker, specialising in high-performance scientific instruments and analytical and diagnostic solutions
• GEM’Innov, a company specialising in the production of thermochromic, photochromic and scented ‘customised’ microcapsules
• Michelin, tyre manufacturer
• Novartis, pharmaceutical group
• Orsay Physics, a company in the field of charged optical particles
• Thales, an electronics group specialising in aerospace, defence, security and land transport
• TotalEnergies, an integrated global multi-energy production and supply company
• Safran, an industrial and technology group in the aerospace and defence sectors
• SAFT, a company specialising in the design, manufacture and marketing of electric accumulators for industrial use
• SETNAG, a company offering solutions for oxygen analysis, measurement and control
• Siemens, a German company specialising in the energy, healthcare, industry and construction sectors
• Solvay, a company specialising in essential chemicals
• XFab, foundry group for analogue and mixed-signal semiconductor applications

• Laboratory for instrumentation and measurement in extreme environments (LIMMEX), a joint laboratory without walls that involves three partners, AMU (IM2NP), CEA (Nuclear Energy Department) and CNRS Physique (INP), in 2 main areas of research: thermal and thermo-hydraulic measurements and nuclear radiation measurements.

  The laboratory has signed a partnership agreement with the CEA and its Jules Horowitz Reactor (RJH) programme on the topic of instrumentation, measurement and test facilities in extreme environments. 

• Underwater Information Processing Laboratory (LTISM), which involves IM2NP, Naval Group and the University of Toulon, focuses on 3 main areas: sensor/antenna signal processing, passive underwater trajectography and tracking ("manoeuvring" target tracking).

  Its research and innovation objectives focus mainly on the following themes: signal processing upstream of the trajectography function, information processing (filtering) at the heart of the trajectography function, the causes of bias in trajectography, multiple states, and improving the realism of simulations.

• Joint external research laboratory REER (Radiations Effects and Electrical Reliability), set up by STMicroelectronics and the Provence institute for materials, microelectronics and nanosciences - IM2NP (CNRS/Aix-Marseille Université/University of Toulon/ISEN) to develop new generations of ultra-miniaturised electronic components with very high levels of reliability, working on 2 main areas: the effects of radiation on nanometric digital circuits and the electrical reliability of nanometric CMOS technologies.

  The joint laboratory is involved in a number of national, European and international collaborative programmes and projects, including the European Catrene cluster, the ENIAC initiative and support programmes from the DGE (Directorate General for Enterprises) and the DGA (Directorate General of Armament). It enables a large number of top-level students to complete a doctoral thesis, mainly in the context of public-private partnership research supported by the CIFRE (Industrial Agreements for Training through Research) scheme.
