  ## Student association
  
  The student association is named "Céisme", an acronym for "Comité des Étudiants de l'INRS en Sciences des Matériaux et de l'Énergie". That acronym is also similar to a French word for earthquake: "séisme". The center name changed to "Énergie, Matériaux et Télécommunications" but the student association name stayed.
