Sport – Health – Well-being | carnotstar.univ-amu.fr

"Changes linked to sport and its practice are considerable : high-level performances requiring new training aids and/or new technologies, innovative sports equipment, improvement well-being for participants, physical and sports activity encouraged by public state agencies to improve national health and contribute to better aging, reduced development of chronic diseases associated with sedentary lifestyles...Sport in the broadest sense has become an essential societal, social and economic issue". Serge Monneret, Director of the Carnot STAR Institute.

Thanks to its research units and technological platforms, Carnot STAR offers robust and distinct resources in engineering, computing, biology and medicine to industrialists in the Sport, Health and Well-being sector undertaking research themes aligned with current societal issues. The geographical unity and disciplinary complementarity of the teams making up allow Carnot STAR means the Institute can provide real support for multidiscliplinary innovation with high added value.
