This team explores new technologies and their application in the areas of maritime affairs and transportation. These technologies, include 3D printing for design and production of spare parts, thermographic camera applied in surveillance and increased safety of maritime transport, application of IT technology in maritime affairs, sensory fusion and signal processing within the emerging technology of autonomous ships.

 Created since 2008, the Lab-STICC is a multidisciplinary research laboratory in the field of Information and communication science and technology. Researchers work in a single structure within one central theme: “from sensor to knowledge”.

 Over the last five years, Lab-STICC members have authored more than 700 refereed journal papers, 1800 conference communications and 40 patents. Our research leadership has involved strong academic and industrial collaborations with national and international research grants amounting to more than 30 M€.

IRDL's ambition is to play, in the short term, an even more important role at the regional, national and international levels in the resolution of current issues related to the engineering of materials and systems used in the industrial sectors related to automotive, energy, aeronautics, health, transport and more particularly all areas in dynamic interaction with the marine environment, such as shipbuilding and offshore, marine energies.

The OPTIMAG Optics and Magnetism Laboratory is the result of a restructuring by fusion of the Laser Spectrometry and Optics Laboratory (LSOL) and the coupling team of the Magnetism Laboratory of Brittany (LMB). It is located at the UFR Sciences et Technique in Brest.
