Inria Lyon Centre
Inria Lyon Centre
The Inria Lyon Centre is the 9th Inria centre, inaugurated on 1st December 2021.
The evolution of Inria's site policy, with the inclusion of its territorial actions at the service of major university research sites, is an essential element of its Ambition 2023 project.
In this context, in addition to strengthening its existing research centres, Inria has included a project to create a full-fledged research centre in Lyon, where it has been present for many years now.
This creation enables a new synergy in the region and the development of new interactions with academic ecosystems and industrial players.
