French Institute for Research in Computer Science and Automation

The French Institute for Research in Computer Science and Automation (INRIA) is France's national research institute for digital science and technology. World-class research, technological innovation and entrepreneurial risk are its DNA. In 220 project teams, most of which are shared with major research universities, more than 3,900 researchers and engineers explore new paths, often in an interdisciplinary manner and in collaboration with industrial partners to meet ambitious challenges. As a technological institute, INRIA supports the diversity of innovation pathways: from open source software publishing to the creation of technological startups (Deeptech).
