The A&V Cluster of ISISE - Institute for Sustainability and Innovation in Structural Engineering had the pleasure of welcoming François-Xavier Bécot, from MATELYS - Research Lab, on the occasion of a visit dedicated to the installation of equipment relevant to the analysis and development of acoustic absorbing materials.

This important step contributes to strengthening the Cluster’s experimental and research capacity in the field of acoustics, supporting ongoing work on material characterization and the development of advanced acoustic solutions.

The visit also provided a valuable opportunity for scientific and technical exchange, further reinforcing the connection between research institutions and industrial expertise.

We sincerely thank François-Xavier Bécot and MATELYS - Research Lab for their collaboration and contribution to the advancement of research activities within the A&V Cluster of ISISE.
