For several years, Dassault Systèmes has collaborated with educators and students across various institutions and disciplines in order to create a flexible, tailored set of solutions that would place easy and natural collaboration between teachers, researchers, students and industry mentors at the center of social innovation.

The 3DEXPERIENCE platform for Academia on the cloud helps teachers and students save time and ease workloads and project execution through innovative teaching and learning practices, all while delivering the technical benefits of the cloud—easy deployment and maintenance, and secured data access anytime, anywhere on a student’s or an institution’s own devices that eliminates the need for complex IT infrastructure.

The disciplinary reach of the new platform has been significantly extended to support educational, research and organizational processes in design and engineering, systems engineering, manufacturing and now architecture and civil engineering.

“Getting the 3DEXPERIENCE for Academia on the cloud up and running took just under an hour,” said Michel Michaud, Instructor, École nationale d’aérotechnique in Canada, one of the first to use this cloud offering through a preliminary testing program.
