INRIA
Inria is the French national research institute for digital science and technology. World-class research, technological innovation and entrepreneurial risk are its DNA. In 215 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).
A long-term reliable partnership
CWI and Inria have already collaborated successfully over the past decades, and have gotten to know each other as reliable partners. Both institutes have an excellent scientific reputation. They are both highly valued for the high quality of their research in the field of mathematics and computer science and its relevance for society. By strengthening the cooperation with a partnership agreement, both parties aim to join forces in and intensify their collaboration in the international research arena. By doing so, both partners aim to achieve important scientific results and to acquire joint projects with EU funding.
CWI and Inria have set up an Inria International Lab (IIL) together. The purpose of such labs is to fund and develop partnerships and collaborative research with international first-class institutions.
Intensification of the collaboration
In April 2023 in the presence of Ministers Sylvie Retailleau and Robbert Dijkgraaf, Inria and CWI signed an agreement to extend their cooperation in the fields of Quantum Computing, Human interaction, Energy, Cryptography, Digital Health, Machine Learning and Software Engineering. New in this collaboration is the creation of European joint research teams. For more information, please read the news item.
