Inria's skills furthering the surgery of the future
Inria is participating in three of the six projects selected as part of the "Future Investments" programme organised by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research and launched in 2010. These projects are all being carried out within university health institutes combining care, research and training (IHUs). We take a closer look at MIX-Surg, Strasbourg's IHU for image-guided minimally invasive surgery, with Stéphane Cotin, whose team, Shacra, is a key contributor to the project.

Marie-Paule Cani wishes to make 3D virtual creation available to all
Thanks to the Advanced Grant awarded to her by the European Research Council (ERC), aimed at experienced researchers, Marie-Paule Cani, a university professor at the INP Grenoble, will finance five years of research into the design of animated virtual shapes within the framework of her IMAGINE team, shared with Inria Grenoble and with the Jean Kuntzmann laboratory (CNRS and Universities of Grenoble). She hopes to make the digital tool as intuitive as simply using pen and paper, and much more efficient.

Nicholas Ayache: "Medical Imagery and I.T.: the personalised digital patient"
Nicholas Ayache is the 2011 winner of an ERC grant worth 2.5 million Euros, aimed at experienced researchers. With many years of commitment to researching the analysis and simulation of medical images, he will now be able to rise to a major challenge: to design digital models of organs and pathologies enabling the incorporation of a patient's medical images and the simulation of the progress of their pathology and the suitability of the treatments before they are applied.

The Tara Expedition: plankton tells us a lot about our climate
Saturday September 5, 2009. The Tara vessel leaves Lorient for a two and a half year expedition across the world’s oceans. This expedition is the first attempt to carry out a global study of marine plankton. The aim is to increase our knowledge of this ecosystem, by studying its biodiversity and by better understanding its key role in regulating the climate. A specialist in DNA sequencing and bioinformatics, Laurent Noé, a member of the Bonsai project team, talks about the expertise of his team on this voyage.

Some trends and challenges for the 2.0 years
According to the Inria/TNS Sofres survey conducted this year, nearly one French person in two declared they could not do without social networks. Such interest on its own proves what a success the social web is, although success is not without an increase in private data now present in cyberspace. A thorough grasp of interaction tools and controlling one’s web image are becoming major challenges for tomorrow’s web, both for individuals and companies… as well as a challenge for researchers developing social web management tools.
