- The development of a “competence center” within the laboratory, in IT and electronics.
- The promotion of the laboratory's research
- The hardware and software platforms support demonstrators or services resulting from research projects conducted by the laboratory's four teams. They can also support new research projects.
The laboratory welcomes teacher-researchers, researchers and administrative and technical staff from these three establishments.
Research axes and themes
Founded in 1990, the ETIS laboratory is today the main UMR in the field of information science and technology on the Cergy site and in the northwest of Ile-de-France.
ETIS conducts theoretical and experimental research to design and optimize increasingly complex systems and learning methods for intelligent systems that must be flexible and adaptive. This work also leads to technological advances in the fields of telecommunications and healthcare.
ETIS is organized into four research teams
- Multimedia Indexing and Data Integration (MIDI)
- Information, Communications, Imaging (ICI)
- MOBILE
- Neurocybernetics
As well as a transversal research group, Design-STS Transverse Group, brought together around environmental issues.
Composition of the ETIS laboratory - 170 members
- 61 teacher-researchers (2 CNRS - UCP chairs),
- 1 research officer,
- Around 80 doctoral students and post-docs
For the 2023-2024 academic year, 64 theses are currently being prepared, including 16 Cifre theses. 13 defenses have already taken place.
The fields studied are varied and provide input for both training and industry!
- Trusted AI
- Embedded systems
- Human activity recognition
- Autonomous vehicles
- Development of 6G
- Brain modeling
- Human-computer interactions
- cryptography
- cultural heritage
- Digital health
- Robot development

The laboratory's missions
ETIS laboratory's industrial and scientific partnerships
ETIS is involved in numerous industrial and academic partnerships
Industrial collaborations
Most partnerships are based on long-standing ties with large European industrial groups (IDEMIA, Védécom, SAGEM, CIRA, Partelec, 2CSI, M2M, QWANT, BOSCH, Thales, BIA, Nokia, Thales TCS, Huawei and LRMH, to name just a few), cultural institutions (BnF, National Library of France, Louvre Museum, National Archives, Palace of Versailles, C2RMF, RMN-GP) and government agencies (PJGN, aka forensic, CEA, IGN).
They can also arise from the co-financing of theses (CIFRE - Industrial training through research agreements): Zodiac, Thales TRT, Thales Com, TRAPIL, Valéo, ASTRIUM, Axalot have thus established industrial collaborations with the ETIS laboratory through doctoral scholarships.
Other industrial players collaborate with ETIS through of chairs (for example, the chair Orange “IoT” and the chair Qwant “Data Analytics”).
Public partnerships
ETIS has created a prolific network of strong and lasting links with academic partners in Europe and abroad: INRIA (INFINE & SECRET projects), Institut Mines-Télécom, HEC Paris, LPTM CYU, LIP6 Sorbonne, IRD (Institute for Sustainable Development), LPPA, ISIR, Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Paris (one of the largest hospital systems in Europe), EasyCom, LPP, BabyLab, LISV, LTCI, L2S Saclay, LANEAS, LMV.
ETIS belongs to Labex Patrima, Equipex+ Espadon and Equipex Patrimex through the Heritage Sciences Foundation and is a historic partner of the national network of robotic platforms RobotexETIS researchers are also affiliated with the GDR SoC2 (notably IoT), the GDR Robotics (Learning group), the GRD ISIS, GDR Sport, the GDR Robotics, the GDR Memory, the GDR MACS and the GRETSI board of directors.
