for embedded communications and applications Fluids Engineering for Industrial Processes Water Engineering and Water Management Industrial & Safety Engineering Doctoral studies Doctoral studies are managed together with other universities and engineering schools of Toulouse. PhD candidates can study in one of the following "écoles doctorales": Aeronautics and Astronautics Electrical, Electronic and Telecommunications Engineering Mathematics, Informatics and Telecommunications Mechanics, Energetics, Civil Engineering and Processes Materials Sciences Ecology, Agronomy, Bioengineering and Veterinary Sciences Systems engineering International During their study, each student must spend a minimum of 12 weeks abroad, either as part of a semester in a partner university or during an internship, but some stay longer or spend considerably more time in a foreign country. In Europe, exchanges take place in the framework of the Erasmus programme, with partnerships in UK (University of Bristol, University of Nottingham, University of Cardiff, University of Glasgow, etc.), Germany (Universität Hamburg, Technische Universität Hamburg-Harburg, etc.), Italy (Politecnico di Milano, Politecnico di Torino), Spain, Netherlands, Scandinavian countries, in Eastern countries and so on INSA Toulouse also offers double-degrees with 20 foreign institutions, including: Instituto Tecnologico de Buenos Aires, Pontificia Universidade Catolica do Rio de Janeiro, Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Seoul National University, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Universidad Politecnica de Madrid, etc. In addition to receiving short-term exchange students, INSA Toulouse participates in several exchange programmes with universities around the world: ERASMUS - Over 130 partnership agreements with universities in 21 European countries. ECIU University - Since 2019, INSA has been a member of the European Alliance University, a research and training partnership with 12 European partner institutions. FITEC - Cooperative training and internships with many universities in Argentina (ARFITEC), Brazil (BRAFITEC) and Mexico (MEXFITEC). Summer Schools - Cooperative summer programs with University of Texas at Austin and Mississippi State University in the U.S. ASINSA - Targeted for Asian students (primarily from China, Vietnam and Malaysia) interested in engineering in France. IBERINSA - Targeted for Spanish speaking students interested in engineering in France. Research INSA Toulouse conducts research in the following subjects: aeronautics, space, embedded systems environment, health, biotechnologies, energy nanosciences and nanotechnologies towns, urban networks, information networks biomathematics, bioinformatics The research programmes are run with partner institutions; the 8 research laboratories are: Toulouse Biotechnology Institute (Biosystems and Process Engineering Laboratory – LISPB) (in partnership with CNRS and INRA) Laboratory of Physics and Chemistry of Nano-objects – LPCNO (in partnership with UPS and CNRS) Laboratory for Materials
