Partnerships with research organizations

Partnerships with universities, CNRS and other research organizations give rise to joint strategic reflection as well as transverse participation in research authorities (Scientific Advisory Board, National Committee, Assessment Committee, etc.).

Association with the CNRS (National Scientific Research Center)

The first association with the CNRS dates back to 1982 with the Systems and Communications Department of Télécom ParisTech. In addition to the recognition it represents within the scientific community, association with the CNRS means that CNRS researchers and engineers can work in the Institut Télécom's laboratories full-time, which is a significant asset.

The Institut Telecom and research organizations

The Institut Telecom enjoys sustained relations and collaborates with a number of other public research organizations. This collaboration takes various forms, including joint laboratories, scientific interest groups, joint projects. These partnerships are often formed in the context of a State-Region plan contract or supported by the local authorities.

INSERM :


  • Telecom Bretagne, INSERM (National Health and Medical Research Institute) and the Brest regional university teaching hospital share the LaTIM Laboratory (Medical Information Processing Laboratory) ERM0102. LATIM is involved in the INSERM-CNRS framework agreement.

INRIA :


  • Periodic meetings are held by senior staff from INRIA (French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control) and the Institut Télécom to review, in particular, scientific developments in the field of ICST. INRIA is one of the founding partners of the Sophia Antipolis uses laboratory, proposed by the Institut Telecom.
  • Telecom Bretagne is involved, together with IRISA (Institut de Recherche en Informatique et en Systèmes Aléatoires or Research Institute for IT and Stochastic Systems) in the INRIA ARMOR (Architecture et modèle de réseaux or Architecture and networks' model) project. In addition, it co-runs CNRT TIM (Télécommunications, Image Multimédia Brest- Lannion-Rennes), managed by the director of IRISA.

IFREMER :


  • Taking advantage of its geographic location, Telecom Bretagne collaborates with IFREMER (French Research Institute for Exploitation of the Sea), in particular, working on two projects in the context of the State-Region plan, concerning off-shore and submarine acoustics (information processing for the ocean and the environment).

DGA :


  • The Institut Telecom is very involved in ICST applications in the Defense field, therefore with the DGA (Direction Générale de l'Armement, the French State arms authority). Research is conducted either in bi-lateral partnership - with GESMA (sonar imaging underwater communications) or CELAR (radar imaging, network security) – or within GIS TECHNET which federates public research laboratories from Western France working in the field of telecommunications and electronics applied to military systems. Télécom Bretagne is responsible for the scientific management of this group.

Institut Carnot

In April 2011, the Institut Telecom, its subsidiary Eurecom, Telecom St-Etienne, the ENSPS, the LIX and CMAP labs of the Ecole Polytechnique, and Strate College were jointly awarded the Carnot label for the quality of their research in partnership, under the umbrella name Institut Carnot Télécom & Société Numérique.
