The fields of applied mathematics, computer science, signal processing and control bring together more than 500 academics, and more than 1,300 if PhD and post docs are included.
The research in pursued within joint labs supported by the local universities (University Grenoble 1- Joseph Fourier, University Pierre Mendes France and the Grenoble Institute of Technology) and national research centres (CNRS and INRIA). Moreover, world-wide major companies carry out active research in their own labs: Xerox, Bull, HP, Sun, STMicroelectronics, FranceTelecom, SFR, ...
Since decades Grenoble's research in the IT field has been acknowledged by the excellence of its laboratories. The following laboratories of the Grenoble Institute of Technolgy are the partners of the Ensimag school:
- G-SCOP, Grenoble-Sciences for Design, Optimization and Production
- gipsa-lab : grenoble Images Signal Parole et Automatique
- ICA, Informatique et Création Artistique
- LIG, Laboratoire d'Informatique de Grenoble
- LJK, Jean Kuntzmann laboratory
- TIMA, Techniques of Informatics and Microelectronics for Computer Architecture
- TIMC, Techniques for biomedical engineering and complexity management
- VERIMAG, Embedded systems
- LAFMIA : Laboratoire Mixte Franco-Mexicain d'Informatique et
d'Automatique Appliquée - MICA, Multimedia Information, Communication and Applications (Hanoi)
The IMAG building
The building regroups the following laboratories and services in alphabetical order: Agency for Mathematics in Interaction with Enterprises and Society (AMIES), Grenoble Alpes Research Infrastructure of CAlcul Intensive and Data (GRICAD), Laboratory of Informatics of Grenoble ), Jean Kuntzmann Laboratory (LJK), MI2S, VERIMAG.
We want to build an accelerator of innovations that can facilitate the transfer of research from laboratory to industry. Our philosophy is that fundamental research and applied research do not oppose but complement each other.The building regroups the following laboratories and services in alphabetical order: Agency for Mathematics in Interaction with Enterprises and Society (AMIES), Grenoble Alpes Research Infrastructure of CAlcul Intensive and Data (GRICAD), Laboratory of Informatics of Grenoble ), Jean Kuntzmann Laboratory (LJK), MI2S, VERIMAG.
Accelerator of Innovations
We want to build an accelerator of innovations that can facilitate the transfer of research from laboratory to industry. Our philosophy is that fundamental research and applied research do not oppose but complement each other. building is to concentrate resources and skills to create a critical mass (800 teacher-researchers, researchers and doctoral students), increase synergies and ensure Grenoble's visibility on a global scale. The research activity within this building will also greatly amplify the cooperation between the local players already taking place in the Carnot Institute of Grenoble "software and intelligent systems" and in the Minalogic competitiveness cluster to reach the stage of Integrative research.
Distinctions
Many research groups of these laboratories have gained international recognition for their scientific contributions, acknowledgement which has led them to be involved in a considerable number of industrial collaborations as well as in several European Networks of Excellence and other international projects.
Céline Coutrix, Ensimag 2005, of the IIHM team of the LIG receives the bronze medal of the CNRS 2017. This distinction rewards her research work in the field of human-machine interaction.
