Pivotal Projects
An annex of the institut d'Optique Graduate School in Aquitaine
In support of the cluster's determined strategic efforts towards applications of optics and lasers, in association with other technological disciplines, the cluster will benefit from the creation of the Institut d'Optique Graduate School (IOGS) of Bordeaux. The two research and training orientations chosen by IOGS of Palaiseau for its Bordeaux establishment, "Optics and Digital IT," and "Optics and Biology," are well developed topics in our region, for example through the creation of a neurological center at the University of Bordeaux 2, and the creation of INRIA Futurs in Bordeaux. The cluster will have a broad outlook for business development in these orientations.
More generally, the construction of the IOGS campus in Bordeaux is an extensive project which will reinforce the cluster's potential, with 10,000 m² of premises and a budget of approximately €40 million. Its purpose is to experiment with new relationships between the university and prestigious engineering schools in training and research, as well as in the fields of new technologies, including shared curricula, student, researcher, instructor-researcher exchanges, and commonality of technology-transfer resources.

In particular, for the last two years, IOGS has been developing an Entrepreneur Innovation segment, enabling a large number of optics specialists to create their own business when they leave the school. Thanks to the support of ALPhANOV, which will move to premises next to IOGS in the industrial facilities being created, the new establishment will serve as a key source of innovation and job creation, as a core aspect of the cluster's strategy.
A project targeting the general public : Terre des Lasers
Thanks to the media impact of the Laser Megajoule and the support of ALPhA, Terre des Lasers will offer a forum for exchange intended to raise the general public’s awareness of lasers, optics, and plasma, and will create synergy among industry, research and the artistic community. The goal is to open these fields to other disciplines in physics, through partnerships with establishments on a broad basis.
Terre des Lasers will have premises in the LASERIS zone near ILP, halfway between Bordeaux and Arcachon. It will be composed of three closely related components. The facilities for scientific and cultural communication, targeting the general public, will center on light and lasers: origins, physical phenomena and applications. A reception and learning area will be available to encourage young artists to use lasers and optical technologies as a means of artistic expression. Terre des Lasers will include a lighting stage, to demonstrate these techniques in artistic and industrial applications.

The building's shape, design, lighting and materials will highlight SEML “Route des Lasers”. The building (1200 m2 under cover, and an open-air exhibition zone) will contain a section for training (practical studies carried out in collaboration with the Academy and the University, tutorials between artists and science instructors) and a section reserved for both permanent and temporary exhibitions on complementary themes, reflecting current events and the needs of industry, while promoting links between art and science.
These dynamics will be reinforced by the organization of seasonal events, exhibitions by internationally renowned artists, mobile activities throughout the region, the distribution of documentation through a network of partners in the fields of culture and tourism, and a website targeting a diverse audience, as a precursor to visits, and a way to consolidate points of interest after visits.
Cap Sciences, the region's leading player in scientific communication targeting the general public, will run these actions. The expected audience (15,000 to 30,000 visitors per year) will include families, high school and university students, associations and professionals directly involved in the LMJ.
