=== Graduate schools ===
At the end of the 1990s, the city expanded and the [[Metz Science Park]] was created in the southern area. Along with this expansion, several graduate schools took the opportunity to establish campuses in the park. At first, facilities were grouped around the lake Symphony, like [[Supélec]] in 1985 and [[Georgia Tech Lorraine]] in 1990.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://lorraine.gatech.edu/about |title=About &#124; GT Lorraine &#124; Georgia Institute of Technology &#124; Atlanta, GA}}</ref> In 1996, the engineering school [[Arts et Métiers ParisTech]] (ENSAM) built a research and learning center next to the golf course.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://tout-metz.com/quartiers/technopole-metz |title=Technopôle de Metz}}</ref> This opened the way to the development of a new area, where the Franco-German university (ISFATES) and the ENIM moved in 2010. These graduate schools often cooperate with the University of Lorraine. For instance, the university and ENSAM share research teams, laboratories, equipments and doctoral programs. The [[École supérieure d'ingénieurs des travaux de la construction de Metz]] is also located in the city.
