"Associate teams" programme
Make the most of international collaborations
Since 2002, Inria supports "Associate Teams" to strengthen scientific collaboration between Inria project teams and top-level research teams worldwide. In 2011, there are 65 active associate teams.
The Associate Teams are an important tool for the international impact of Inria's scientific policy. The programme aims at boosting the Institute's scientific potential by fostering collaborations between Inria project teams and top-level research teams across the world.
The programme has expanded since its launching. In 2011, sixty five Associate Teams are supported by Inria and about half of them involve North America, Europe accounts for 22%, Asia for 17%, Latin America 11%. In addition to scientific excellence, the programme’s selection criteria take into account the added value of Associate Teams for initiatives launched by Inria to confort its activities alongside key partners (such as with the LIAMA in China, the Inria@SiliconValley initiative and JLPC in North America, or CIRIC in Chile).
This programme aims at fostering fruitful collaborations between researchers on the global stage.
An Associate Team has a lifespan of three to six years, with a maximum contribution from Inria of 20.000 euros per year, to finance exchanges of researchers and students between the partners. The research work plan and the scientific achievements of each Associate Team are regularly reviewed by the International Affairs Department.
