The training programs offered and organized by the IMPACT Chair draw on the expertise of INSTN, the CEA’s training institute.

These programs are aimed at materials science researchers (PhD students, postdoctoral fellows, engineers, and permanent researchers) who wish to train in data science in order to incorporate the latest artificial intelligence tools into their experimental design.

These programs are based on courses taught by researchers from the CEA and partner institutions (CNRS, Université Paris-Saclay, etc.) involved in the DIADEM PEPR (Personal Research and Development Program) and allow students to develop expertise in experimental processes through theoretical courses and practical work that takes place on the DIADEM Discovery Hub acceleration platforms on the Saclay plateau, located near INSTN.

The IMPACT Chair offers the following training programs:

• Advanced Manufacturing for the Development of Materials for the Energy Transition, next session in Saclay in March 2026

• ACCELMAT: Sensibilization to the accelerated discovery of Materials, available starting in fall 2026
