EURECOM is a Graduate school and Research Centre in digital science located in the Sophia Antipolis technology park (French Riviera), a major European place for telecommunications activities. EURECOM chose to focus its research and teaching activities on three main areas: DATA SCIENCE, DIGITAL SECURITY, COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS. It was founded in 1991 in a consortium form [GIE] that allowed EURECOM to build a large network of renowned academic and industrial partners. The “Institut Mines Telecom” is a founding member of EURECOM consortium. EURECOM research teams are made up of international experts, recruited at the highest level, whose work is regularly honored and has earned international recognition. EURECOM is particularly active in research in its areas of excellence while also training a large number of doctoral candidates. Its contractual research is recognized across Europe and contributes largely to its budget. Projects are at the heart of EURECOM’s research activity [around a 100 contracts managed each year], one of their many benefits is the wealth resulting from the collaborative work with partners. In 2006, EURECOM and Institut Mines Telecom received the Carnot Label based largely on their strong ties with industry. Companies play an active role in the life of EURECOM both for teaching and research and even in its administration. Based on the close ties it has developed with industry, EURECOM can direct an essential part of its research activities towards areas of interest for its industrial partners. One of our challenges is to fill the gap between fundamental research and the more business oriented one in our partner companies. From the beginning, the main objective set by our members was excellence on an international level. In research this excellence results in a high number of publications and patents, in the active participation to international scientific events and organizations and of course in getting many important E...
