A new visual identity for Inria
In light of the dynamic, complex and ever-changing environment within which Inria operates, it is important for the Institute to adopt a clear, sincere and effective presentation of its activities. This new signature is the result of brainstorming involving all employees, and is intended to offer a simple reflection of the Institute’s work. This new identity will progressively be introduced throughout all communication tools and media.

Announcement
G8 ECS « Enabling Climate Simulation at extreme scale »
Policy decisions for mitigating climate change or adapting to it are subjects of great discussion throughout the world. Uninformed decisions will impose a heavy cost on future generations, both financial and human. Therefore, it is essential to reduce the current uncertainties about future climate changes and their impact by running climate simulations at 1000 times larger scales than today.

Anonymity on the web: telltale usernames
Choosing a username can have an impact on the spam that fills up our inboxes. This is suggested in an article published in an MIT journal that demonstrates, for the first time, how a username alone can provide information about its owner. Daniele Perito, an Italian PhD student in the Planete project team, contributed to this study and has developed a tool to test usernames.
