Inria Associate Teams program

Associate Teams : 2015 call for proposals

10/07/2014

An Associate Team is a joint research project created between an Inria project-team and a research team from abroad. The two partners jointly define a scientific objective with a clear added value for each of them, a research plan and a program for bilateral exchanges. To promote and develop such scientific collaborations throughout the world, by supporting high quality research projects, Inria’s Department of International Relations annually launches a call for proposals.

Technology transfer at Inria

A word from Eric Horlait

"Inria's goal is to ensure that its research has the greatest possible economic and societal impact by stimulating innovation through the transfer of its skills and technologies.

Digital science and technology play a decisive role in improving society and our daily life. They have a direct and lasting influence on all sectors of industry, and keeping at the forefront of these fields is a key factor in staying competitive.

Therefore, the Institute is strongly committed to working within competitiveness clusters, in order to identify demand and play an active role in the development of innovative ecosystems. Our strategic partnerships with large firms' R&D departments enable our teams to be involved in research projects on an industrial scale. One aim of such collaboration is to build long-term relationships, often in the form of Inria Joint Laboratories. At the same time, Inria also makes technology transfer a priority by helping to launch new companies and by forming partnerships with innovative SMEs.

Interoperability also contributes to societal development and growth of the digital economy, whether through standardisation or "openness". That is why reasonable support of open-source software, open access to public data, and open web standards also form part of our transfer policy."

Inria Awards 2013

Anatole Lécuyer: Young researcher Inria - Académie des sciences award

Currently head of the HYBRID team, Anatole Lécuyer was recently awarded the lnria - Académie des Sciences (French Academy of Sciences) young researcher prize. As well as considering this reward a personal honour, he also views it as a form of recognition for his research fields, virtual reality and brain-computer interfaces, which are still relatively "young" and little-known.

Inria Awards 2013

Jean-Michel Morel: 2013 lnria - French Académie des Sciences Grand Prize

He used to want to do theory; he is now enthused by the applications of his work. He used to want to stay in academia; his algorithms are used by many industries and professional arenas. But Jean-Michel Morel is convinced that without mathematical formalisation, any discovery or theory remains incomplete. On the basis of this conviction, he uses mathematics for image and signal processing to explain the advances made and as the basis for theories. He does so successfully. He wants to share his algorithms freely, and to this end has set up a journal enabling anyone to experiment with other people's work.

Pascale Vicat-Blanc: Inria – French Académie des sciences – Dassault Systèmes Innovation Award

Pascale Vicat-Blanc, founder of the Lyatiss company, has recently received the lnria - French Académie des Sciences (Academy of Sciences) – Dassault Systèmes Innovation award. She sees in this personal honour a recognition for her team and her company – and an interest in young women that may be inspired by what she has accomplished. Conscious of being a sort of role model, she has campaigned for the European de-compartmentalisation of the spheres of research, business and investment.

International programmes

The "Internships" programme

Each year, Inria welcomes students from all over the world for a research training experience through the Internships programme. Undergraduate, masters or PhD students come and spend a few months in an Inria research team. Two students, Michail Zervos and Nadia Khalfa, talk about their successful experience and offer advice to all those who may be interested in the Internships programme.

Technology Transfer at Inria

Strategic partnerships with large industrial players

The strategic partnerships that Inria establishes are long-term bilateral partnerships with large industrial groups, formalized in a framework agreement. A research program is developed jointly by Inria and its partner based on the industrial player’s proposed priority topics. Research projects, fitting into this program, are then developed jointly by Inria’s teams and the partner. In addition, a steering committee and a scientific committee ensure that the collaboration is consistent and runs smoothly.
