INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH PROJECTS (IRP CNRS) at C2N

“laboratories without walls”

 

IRP NANOELECTRONICS (FR/US)
From New Phenomena to Low Power Electronics

Basic research on new emergent physics in complex materials that enables new concepts in low power nanoelectronics devices and efficient computing architecture.

IRP PHYNICS (FR/RU)
Physics of nanostructures and innovative devices based on compound semiconductors

Semiconductor nanostructure growth, optical, electronic and magnetic properties and advanced devices.

In order to structure collaboration between two research teams or laboratories (one in France and the other abroad) that already have joint publications, the creation of an International Research Project (IRP CNRS), a “laboratory without walls”, can be requested. The relationship between the two partners is formalized through a contract signed by the heads of both organizations, with provisions covering issues such as intellectual property rights. Human and material resources are pooled to carry out the project. Teams or laboratories associated through an IRP retain their separate autonomy, status, Director and location. The IRP activities are coordinated by two co-principal investigators and by a scientific steering committee.
