In Europe's leading research institute

Thanks to its top-quality researchers and numerous international guests, Inria is at the forefront of networking and computer science research. In 2015, Inria was raked #1 company in France for the wellbeing of its employees.

Co-chairing IETF 6TiSCH and IETF LAKE

The EVA team co-chairs the IETF 6TiSCH and IETF LAKE working groups, which standardize the networking technology for the Factory of the Future and the security solutions.

The Home of Berkeley's OpenWSN

Inria-EVA co-leads Berkeley's OpenWSN project, the de-facto open-source implementation of Industry 4.0 standards such as IEEE802.15.4e Time Synchronized Channel Hopping. In 2015, ETSI selected OpenWSN as the reference implementation of 6TiSCH.

Tight Collaboration with Industry

Inria-EVA prouds itself of its defining technology that is used in commercial solutions. We constantly thrive for tight collaboration with the industry, through European and national projects, bilateral agreements or consultancy. Don't hesitate to contact us.

Extensive International Collaboration

Inria-Paris is located at the heart of Europe, and Inria-EVA has strong research collaborations across the Old Continent and the world. Once example in the REALMS associate team between Inria-EVA, UC Berkeley and the University of Michigan.

Designing Tomorrow's Internet of (Important) Things

Inria-AIO is a leading research team in low-power wireless communications. The team is designing Tomorrow's Internet of (Important) Things. It pushes the limits of low-power wireless mesh networking by applying them to critical applications such as robotics, industrial control loops, with harsh reliability, scalability, security and energy constraints. Inria-AIO co-chairs the IETF 6TiSCH and IETF LAKE standardization working group and co-leads Berkeley's OpenWSN project. Inria-AIO is heavily involved in real-world applications, and oversees over 1,000 sensors deployed on 3 continents for smart agriculture, smart city and environmental monitoring applications. The team's research program is organized around 5 pilars: Smart Dust, Low-Power Wireless Networking, Security in Constrained Systems, Swarm Robotics and Vehicle Area Networking. The team is associated with Prof. Pister's team at UC Berkeley, working on Smart Dust.
