The Inria Saclay – Île-de-France research centre is a major part of the highly diversified ecosystem at Saclay which features leading partners in computational sciences. Research bodies, leading schools, competitiveness clusters and industry comprise the three complementary facets of research, training and innovation. A coordination program launched in 2000 took concrete form with the establishment of the Digiteo advanced research network. Most of our research teams are pooled with several institutions as proof of the strong links we enjoy with our partners. Centre researchers contribute to education for the students in Saclay. Training through research extends the approach with many doctoral students welcomed in research teams.

and abroad?
The 171 project-teams are distributed in eight research centres located
throughout France. Inria is therefore in close proximity with its academic
partners (more than 45 universities, French “grandes écoles” and other
research bodies) and is invested in local innovation initiatives.
The institute maintains special relations with its European partners: it is a
founding member of the European Research Consortium for Informatics and
Mathematics, and it coordinates the French section of the EIT ICT Labs
network dedicated to developing the Internet of the future. Two Inria project
teams span international boundaries (Netherlands, Italy).
Inria is a partner of several academic institutions in the United States, Asia,
Latin America, Africa and the Middle East. It has a joint laboratory with the
University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, as well as with the Chinese
Academy of Sciences. It actively supports African IT research.
Inria has 71 associate teams with research centers in 28 countries.
