From June 5 to 7, 2008, INRIA will be at the European Research and Innovation Exhibition at the Porte de Versailles in Paris. This event, open to both the general public and professionals, provides a three day meeting place for the leading French and European players in the scientific world. An opportunity to find out a bit more about the huge variety of ongoing research and innovation.
INRIA invites you to come and discover its innovations at the Exhibition. To get your free tickets, contact-us.
The INRIA stand is located at B16 in Hall 5.2. For details of opening times, how to get there, transport offers, etc. go to the European Research and Innovation Exhibition site.

INRIA this year will be highlighting the contribution made by computer science in proposing specific responses, within its field of competence, for critical social issues such as the protection of the environment and improvements in health care.
With this focus in mind, on its stand INRIA will be providing opportunities to find out more about our key research themes in terms of the environment and health through mockups, films and simulations, in the company of our scientific experts. INRIA is also organizing a conference and a roundtable on the subject of “computer science at the service of the planet”. Jean-Pierre Verjus, Deputy Managing Director of INRIA, will take part in the conference "Research organisations & universities: what type of collaboration?"
Cybercars, an energy and space efficient transport serviceDemonstration by the IMARA research team
Thursday June 5 and Friday June 6 – INRIA stand
A new form of public transport, the cybercar, fills the gap between the use of private cars and public transport. Cybercars are small electric powered and automated road vehicles. They are self-service, guarantee safety and quality of service with 24/7 availability. The use of a fleet of cybercars makes it possible to reduce jams in congested areas and to offer users an efficient, non-polluting, silent and accessible means of transport. More...
Scientific cultureThursday, Friday and Saturday June 5, 6 and 7 –INRIA stand
Presentation of interstices.info, the scientific culture site, dedicated to computer science research, created on the initiative of INRIA, in partnership with CNRS, Universities and ASTI.
Transport modes already operationalDemonstration by the VU Log company
Saturday June 7 –INRIA stand
The VU Log company was created to offer IPV (Individual Public Vehicle) type urban mobility services, without stations. The IPV is a vehicle accessible to the public for individual use. Free bicycles are a form of IPV but these are only available from existing stations, and they have to be returned to these stations. VU Log offers a public vehicle that can be taken from where it is found and handed back where it is left, just as if it were your own. More...
Environmental forecastingDemonstration by the CLIME and MOISE research teams
Thursday, Friday and Saturday June 5, 6 and 7 – INRIA stand
Weather, atmospheric pollution, ocean currents, floods…: Numeric systems are essential tools in predicting natural phenomena. Together with a number of other organizations the teams from INRIA are applying their applied mathematics and scientific computation know-how to develop increasingly accurate numeric forecasting systems. More...
Modeling and water resourcesDemonstration by the MERE research team
Water is an increasingly scarce resource that needs to be better protected. The MERE research team is focusing on the mathematical problems relating to biological depollution processes for wastewater. Taking realistic contexts with the application of pilot processes; it aims to develop models derived from mathematical analyses and create the simulation software. More...
Simulating a cataract operationDemonstration by the ALCOVE research team
Friday June 6 and Saturday June 7 – INRIA stand
The objective of surgical simulations is to provide medical practitioners with a simulation specific to a patient, for teaching or in a pre-operation context. With SERI 08, we will be presenting a surgical simulator that makes it possible to rehearse the movements that constitute the cataract operation. It provides a teaching tool that facilitates the understanding and the mastery of the subtleties of the actions involved in the real operation. Designing these tools involves a collaboration of advanced software techniques (real-time biomechanical simulation, rendering, haptic feedback). More...
Cardiac monitoringDemonstration by the DREAM research team
Thursday, Friday and Saturday June 5, 6 and 7 – INRIA stand
Drawing on observations from sensors on a system, it is possible to detect and characterize a dysfunction and to act on its state. In the case of an electrocardiogram analysis, it is possible using certain software to examine various types of cardiac arrhythmia. Depending on the severity of the detected arrhythmia, an alarm is triggered for the care staff or an “intelligent” cardiac prosthesis stimulation program is launched (stimulators and defibrillators). More...
Guaranteeing water quality with microbesConference led by Claude Lobry, head of the MERE research team at INRIA, Professor at the University of Nice
Friday June 6 from 2:00pm to 2:45pm - asie 2 room
The systems mainly used in wastewater treatment plants for the depollution of wastewater are based around the application of microbic ecosystems to consume unwanted substances. In other words, the job of cleaning the wastewater is given to the microbes.
This conference will highlight how bringing together computer modeling, mathematics and molecular biology techniques makes it possible to glimpse the progress that could become a reality in the not so distant future.
Protecting the environment, a challenge for numeric simulation!Saturday June 7, 2008, 11:30 am to 1 pm –TV stage roundtable
Anticipating the effects of oil slicks, forecasting the behavior of a tsunami, typifying coastal erosion, or simply predicting the weather… Researchers are developing mathematical methods and software tools to help unify the various models, optimize the modeling, to incorporate the huge volumes of data and to validate the methods in real-time. The challenge: to improve natural phenomena forecasting.
Hours of computation, huge computing power… And mathematics provides the only common language for disciplines as varied as oceanography, meteorology and hydrology!
Roundtable led by Marie-Odile Monchicourt, Radio France.

Research organisations & universities: what type of collaboration?Saturday June 7, 2008, 12:30 to 2 pm - Agora
Two new laws have just defined the framework within which universities and research organisations must work. What are the main lines and methods for efficient cooperation in the light of these new texts? The debate is open.
Participants:
The "Rendez-Vous de l'Emploi" initiative, organised as part of the European Research and Innovation Exhibition, is the perfect opportunity for you to present us with your skills. These rendez-vous are aimed at researchers and scientific professionals who actively support research activities, or at those wishing to take up such functions in the short term.
This initiative provides you with a great opportunity to present your educational and professional background and to meet representatives on our stand. INRIA is recruiting researchers and R&D engineers, young graduates from universities or grandes écoles and/or high-level scientists, and research support staff for various roles: computing, finance, assistantship, communication, HR, relations with industry, logistics, etc.
You find out about career opportunities in INRIA on our web site.
