Digital technology is shaking up the field of health. Thanks to big data management, medicine is becoming more personalised, predictive and preventative. The notion of 'patient' will become obsolete; tomorrow's medicine will take action even before a person falls ill. At the same time, biotechnologies have become a reality; new functional foods, drugs and treatments are being developed and are already used to treat many conditions. They also help bring health and quality along the entire food chain, even including waste treatment.
Industry of the future
Lying at the core of the fourth industrial revolution, industry 4.0 or industry of the future encompasses the scientific and technological aspects of artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, automated processes, logistics and industrial cybersecurity.
Cyber and data intelligence

Sea & coasts
This ecosystem aims to: coordinate scientific and pedagogical actions; enhance nationwide and international visibility of activities dedicated to maritime issues; better respond to requests from users and partners; and forge more bonds with companies.
