Information and communication technologies, systems and services are considered today as a key element in the evolution of the digital society. The domain spans a wide range of research topics (from network sciences and technology to information theory) and encompasses new paradigms like the Internet of Things, cyber-physical systems, content-centric systems and cloud computing, which together with the evolution of existing systems like mobile neworks, are becoming key enablers for enhancing quality of life and optimizing industrial and business processes.
The LINCS (Laboratory of Information, Networking and Communication Sciences) was created on October 28th, 2010, by three French institutions of higher education and research: INRIA, Institut Telecom and UPMC. Alcatel-Lucent joined the LINCS in February 2011 as a strategic partner. The LINCS was officially launched by Ms Valérie Pécresse, the French Minister of Research, on May 2nd, 2011.
The main objectives of the LINCS are as follows:
· Reach in the mid-term a scientific level, impact and visibility at the level of the best laboratories worldwide
· Reach the critical mass to play a leading role in the international scientific community
· Create an ecosystem with strong synergies between fundamental and experimental approaches
· Establish strong synergies both with the academic world and industry
· Bridge scientific results and innovation capacity
The LINCS staff is composed today of 15 permanent senior researchers, 4 international invited researchers, 5 post-docs and 35 PhD students. Its premises are located in Paris, a few tens of meters from the Place d’Italie.
