INSTITUT NATIONAL POLYTECHNIQUE DE TOULOUSE

The National Institute of Applied Sciences in Toulouse (Toulouse INP) is a public institution with a scientific, cultural, and professional character (EPCSCP) established in 1969. Located in Toulouse, France, it is one of the five French national institutes of applied sciences, which are higher education institutions similar to universities. Toulouse INP and its affiliated schools provide engineering education in various fields, including electronics, electrical engineering, computer science, hydraulics, telecommunications, chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science, agronomy, mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, and meteorology. All these schools are among the 204 French engineering schools accredited as of September 1, 2020, to confer engineering degrees. INPT has the largest computer science laboratory in France, with long-standing experience in data science, analytics, etc., and is involved in several EU projects. TARGET project is conducted under the laboratory IRIT, Institut de Recherche en Informatique.  

IRIT, created in 1990, is a Joint Research Unit (UMR 5505) of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), the Institut National Polytechnique de Toulouse (INPT), the Université Paul Sabatier Toulouse3 (UT3), the Université Toulouse1 Capitole (UT1) and the Université de Toulouse Jean Jaurès (UT2J). IRIT is one of the largest UMR at the national level, is one of the pillars of research in Occitanie with its 600 members, permanent and non-permanent, and about 100 external collaborators. Due to its multi-tutorial nature (CNRS, Toulouse Universities), its scientific impact and its interactions with other fields, the laboratory constitutes one of the structuring forces of the IT landscape and its applications in the digital world, both at regional and national level. The focus of the laboratory is: “Mankind and its environment at the heart of computer science”.
