Guy Deniélou, founder of the Universities of Technology (UT) in France, defined "Technology is the name science gives itself when it is interested in applications developed for man and by man". On the other hand, in their DNA, UT have always carried out technological, interdisciplinary researches capable of understanding the interactions of technology with man and society, to develop products and innovative technologies of the future responding to the current and future socio-economic challenges of tomorrow. This symposium is the third edition of an UT initiative that is now open to all. The goal of this symposium is to be a discussion forum for researches on technological systems and in particular on the following dimensions of these systems: sustainability, safety, understanding, design, control, maintenance, diagnosis, lifetime, reuse or recycling ...
