Created in 2007, Laboratoire Ampère is the result of the merger of CEGELY (Centre de Génie Electrique de Lyon) and LAI (Laboratoire d'Automatique Industrielle de Lyon), and the integration of researchers specialized in Environmental Microbiology. It covers the disciplines of electrical engineering, electronics and automation (EEA), with interdisciplinary gateways to the life sciences in particular.
