The Verimag laboratory (80 people) is one of the top laboratories in embedded systems comprising jointly designed hard and software to perform critical functions in a device. Verimag's research work aims to produce, at a competitive cost, theoretical and technical tools for developing embedded systems of controlled quality. Work concerns formal specification, simulation, synchronous languages, code generation, real-time sequencing, etc. The laboratory has many industrial partners, including STMicroelectronics , France Telecom, Airbus and Schneider Electric . It has developed and transferred a large number of tools to industry. Verimag is one of the laboratories behind the EmSoC cluster (embedded system-on-chip) at the Minalogic centre. His founder, Joseph Sifakis, was given the 2007 ACM Turing award.

The Grenoble Computing Laboratory (500 staff) is home to world-class teams working on the design and development of autonomous multiple-scale information systems, with the emphasis on the anticipation of usage and services. Its research relates to: IT infrastructures, software, interaction, the discovery and use of knowledge in information systems. Its industrial partners operate in various sectors of activity and include a
number of local SMEs-SMIs. LIG teams are responsible for numerous patents
and start-ups (Probayes, Cabrilog, Blue Eye video, etc.). More info

The Science and Engineering of Materials and Processes Laboratory - 180 people explores the production, shaping, assembly and properties of materials with structural and functional applications (energy, microelectronics,etc.) combining experimentation and modelling, from the atomic to the process scale. It contributes to sharing experimental platforms for elaboration and characterization.
