INRIA, created in 1967, is a public research institute for science and technology (Établissement Public de recherche à caractère Scientifique et Technologique - EPST) under the joint supervision of the Ministries of Research and Industry. It is tasked with producing research excellence in the fields of IT and mathematics for computational science and to ensure the impact of this research. INRIA covers the whole spectrum of research central to these areas, and intervenes on issues related to digital, posed by other sciences and by people involved in economic and societal issues.
Several INRIA teams are involved in the project: Clime, Fun, Infine, I4S and Urbanet.
