An agreement to establish a new ELyT MaX laboratory was recently concluded at Tohoku University. President Susumu Satomi and representatives from INSA Lyon, CNRS and ECL signed the deal at a ceremony on October 27.
ELyT was originally set up in 2008 to promote collaborative research, workshops and summer school programs among members. Using the international research organization Unit¨¦ mixte international (UMI), founded by CNRS, the group has now created the long-term research unit, ELyT MaX.
ELyT MaX - which stands for Engineering & Science, Lyon -Tohoku joint laboratory for Materials and Systems under Extreme Conditions - aims to expand on the group's cooperative research potential.
After the signing ceremony, the group did a short tour around Tohoku University, visiting the Material Solution Center (MaSC) and Professor Kazuhiro Ogawa's engineering laboratory.
