Projects-Teams

The Inria project teams, an agile and open model

Human scale, independence, versatility, multiculturalism… these are just some of the qualities that characterise Inria’s project teams today.

Replacing the human being at the centre of the laboratories and projects they give rise to, means promoting the values of exchange, listening and collective intelligence, which are vital to the successful conduct of projects of excellence. Through the flexible model of the project team, Inria promotes innovative research as from the start and guarantees close support to all its researchers.

All about the project teams model

More than 3,800 scientists work daily to meet the challenges of information and communication science and technology.

A stimulating environment

With digital technology disrupting all established frameworks, in order to bring through ambitious scientific and entrepreneurial projects, Inria's responsibility is to create value on a large scale for society and for the economy; to raise France’s profile and boost its attractiveness; and to increase the impact of research and innovation in the digital sector.
