AFIS Academy-Industry Meeting : Events of the 10th edition

Communication20-12-2022

The largest System Engineering national event in France – the 10th edition of AFIS Academy-Industry Meeting – took place from 6 to 8 December 2022, at the Institut National des Sciences Appliquées de Toulouse (INSA Toulouse, France).

This event gathered more than 170 academic and industrial participants from the Systems Engineering French community, around a particularly topical theme: Systems Engineering supporting uncertain environment.

5 different events for this Academic-Industry Meeting

RobAFIS™ Competition
Final phase of the student competition (collaborative implementation of engineering processes and methods on a complex system), and Awards ceremony. (replay is available online)

Pre-forum
An afternoon prior to the forum, dedicated to a theme speaking to local industrialists.
Forum
2 days of debates on systems engineering, combining industrialists and academics.
Doctoral Seminar
An opportunity for PhD students who have not yet defended their thesis to present their work in the field of Systems Engineering.
AFIS Thesis Award
Valorisation and reward of doctoral work, in the field of systems engineering, of high scientific quality and with a real industrial interest to three young PhDs who have defended their thesis between December 2020 and 15 November 2022.

This year again, the RobAFIS™ competition allowed students from 7 schools to propose new taxibots, by collaboratively implementing the processes and methods of systems engineering. Doctors and doctoral students whose research work addresses a systems engineering theme were also honoured during the Doctoral Seminar and Thesis Prize.

This great success encourages us to repeat this exercise and make it a permanent feature.

From now on, the AFIS will organise a major annual event – the AFIS Congress- dedicated to Systems Engineering, allowing us to present all the work of our association during the year.
This will be our big annual Rendezvous… to be continued.
