International partnerships

The research organization Institut Telecom, as an established research body, is quite naturally a key player in international research programs. At the top of the list of priorities, it plays a major role in the Framework Program for Research and Technical Development (RTD Framework Program) which forms the heart of the pre-competitive research financed and managed by the European Commission.
The Institut Telecom is also present in many other European research programs, notably Eureka which supports technological cooperation projects between private firms (big business and smaller companies) and laboratories.
Internationally, the Institut Telecom plays an active part in the initiatives of the French Foreign Affairs Ministry: Integrated Action Program, STIC-Asia, STIC-South America...
