Founded in 1984, the University of Le Havre Normandie now has over 8,000 students. As a local university, it is committed to welcoming each of its students and promoting their personal and professional development.
The University of Le Havre Normandie is composed of:
A recognised scientific expertise
The university’s scientific potential is based on 12 research laboratories, two of which are associated with the CNRS and one with INERIS. The research activities carried out in these structures are incorporated into and enrich the university’s teaching activities.
A university in harmony with its region
The University of Le Havre Normandie has been created through the common will of all local stakeholders and has been built in harmony with the development of a port city that is open to the world, attentive to its socio-economic environment and the expectations of its students.
The University of Le Havre Normandie participates in the SIG ECUME with the LOMC laboratory (Laboratoire Ondes et Milieux Complexes).
The LOMC laboratory is structured along three lines of research: Geoenvironment and Porous Media (GEMP), Hydrodynamics, Instabilities and Reactivity (HYTER), and Acoustics of Materials and Structures (AMS). The GEMP research activities focus on porous media (granular media such as sediments and soils), combining skills from the geosciences, sedimentary hydrodynamics, soil mechanics and civil engineering. The coastal run-offs is studied in the first 2 research lines. Underwater and environmental acoustics is one of the specialities of the AMS research line. The methodology combines theoretical, numerical and experimental approaches for the 3 research areas.
Applications of the research performed at LOMC include sediment transport, the management of contaminated sediments and their recovery, the protection of hydraulic structures, the management of natural hazards (earth movements and flooding), in particular the evolution of coastal cliffs, coastal protection and renewable marine energies (tidal, wave and offshore wind power).
