Understanding and accompanying cancer patients? Computer science is tackling this social and public health issue. The Groupement d’Intérêt Scientifique (GIS) Parolothèque, created in 2021, aims to create a database of voice recordings, in the medical context and on the model of the tumor library. The SAMoVA team of the Signals and Images Department (SI) works in collaboration with the CHU, the Oncopole and various research laboratories, involved in an interdisciplinary
On February 4 and 5, 2022, France organized the European Open Science Days (OSEC), in the framework of the presidency of the European Union. This event allowed the creation of an open science prize for free software in research. GAMA was awarded a runner-up prize in the Jury Prize category.
Two Toulouse projects are supported by the CNRS, through the RISE program. Interactive Relief Drawing (DERi), on which IRIT researchers are working, is one of them. It is an interactive and digital device that facilitates the daily life of people with visual impairments.
The Terra Forma project aims to deploy a large network of environmental sensors to understand the transformations linked to climate change in pilot areas. Led by the CNRS, this open source and economical sensor project aims to obtain keys to understanding environmental changes in order to better adapt to them.
A group of researchers from IRIT composed of Amina Annane, Mouna Kamel, Nathalie Aussenac-Gilles, Cassia Trojahn, Catherine Comparot and Christophe Baehr was awarded a prize at the Metada and Semantics Research Conference (MTSR) 2021.
