 Collaborations

Many research projects are carried out in partnership with research centers and universities at the regional, French and international levels, also in partnership with social and economic entities. These partnerships concern co-supervision of doctoral theses as well as joint participation in national and international projects and working groups

Main national and international academic partners:
LIRIS (Lyon), LIP6 (Paris), University of Geneva (Switzerland), University of Gröningen (The Netherlands), University of Florence (Italy), University of Sfax (Tunisia).

Main social and economic partners:
AIRBUS, SANOFI, SAS Institute France, Orange Business Services, start-ups and other small companies

A part of research work is at the interface between cognitive sciences (access to information) and health (data integration and data mining). These researches led to partnerships in France and abroad with universities and research centers of these disciplines. Main partners in SHS: CLLE (UT2J). Main partners in health and biology: CHU Toulouse, INSERM - I2MC Toulouse, INRA-CRES Paris, University of Gröningen (Netherlands).
