Pprime Institute (P’) is a research laboratory specialized in the fields of Physics and Engineering Sciences. It is a UPR CNRS linked with the University of Poitiers (The Faculty of Fundamental and Applied Sciences, the Faculty of Sport Sciences, ENSIP (National Higher School of Engineers of Poitiers)) and ISAE-ENSMA (National Higher School of Mechanics and Aeroengineering).
Its research activities cover a large range of topics from physics of materials to fluids and mechanics of materials, mechanical engineering and energetics. It is about using this set of competences, recognized at both national and international levels, to favor collaborations and synergies between different disciplines/subjects, and to respond appropriately the needs of the socioeconomic sector. The privileged areas of application are the transportations and the energy, with a careful consideration given to environmental aspects.
