Grenoble Informatics Laboratory (LIG) is one of the largest laboratories in Computer Science in France. It is structured as a Joint Research Center (French Unité Mixte de Recherche - UMR) founded by the following institutions:

    CNRS,
    Grenoble Institute of Technology (Grenoble INP),
    Inria Grenoble Rhône-Alpes,
    Grenoble Alps University.

500 members of LIG (faculty, full-time researchers, PhD students, administrative and technical staff) are distributed over three sites in Grenoble and its suburbs: the Saint Martin d'Hères Campus, Minatec, and the Montbonnot Campus.

The mission of LIG is to contribute to the development of fundamental aspects of Computer Science (models, languages, methodologies, algorithms) and address conceptual, technological, and societal challenges. Increasing diversity and dynamism of data, services, interaction devices, and use cases influence the evolution of software and systems so they need to guarantee the essential properties such as reliability, performance, autonomy, and adaptability. Addressing such challenges is the objective of 24 research teams organized into 5 focus areas:

    Data and Knowledge Processing at Large Scale,
    Distributed Systems, Parallel Computing, and Networks.
    Formal Methods, Models, and Languages,
    Interactive and Cognitive Systems,
    Software and Information System Engineering.

LIG focuses on the fundamentals of Computer Science and experimental developments while taking into account new societal challenges.
