CNRS and ULP research teams in Strasbourg have contributed to the sustained development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the city. They are particularly active in several major areas of research:
The nanosciences and nanotechnologies
The nanosciences and nanotechnologies sector concerns the perfection of technologies (ion and photon beams, thin films and the study of the physical and chemical properties of organic, metallic nanostructured materials, semiconductors and polymers for data processing. The resources for these technologies are:
- IPCMS, Institut de Physique et de Chimie des Matériaux de Strasbourg (Strasbourg Institute of the Physics and Chemistry of Materials)
- ENSPS, Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Physique de Strasbourg (Strasbourg Higher National School of Physics)
- ICS, Institut Charles Sadron (Charles Sadron Institute)
- ISIS, Institut de Science et d'Ingénierie Supramoléculaires (Institute of Supramolecular Sciences and Engineering)
- PHASE, PHysique et Application des SEmi-conducteurs (CNRS) (PHysics and Application of SEmi-Conductors)
Optical and micro-electronic systems
Closely linked to the nanosciences and the nanotechnologies, this sector of research concerns:
- the design of optical systems and opto- and micro-electronic components for data processing and storage
- the study of semi-conductors in sensor design, ultra-rapid imagers and fibre optic systems
The teams supporting these research projects are based mainly in the following laboratories:
PHASE, PHysique et Application des SEmi-conducteurs (CNRS) (PHysics and Application of SEmi-Conductors)
LEPSI, Laboratoire d'Electronique et de Physique des Systèmes Instrumentaux (Laboratory of the Electronics and Physics of Instrumental Systems)
LSP, Laboratoire des Systèmes Photoniques (Laboratory of Photonic Systems)
Informatics
Various aspects of informatics, robotics and signal processing are concerned: architecture of processors, programme optimisation, telecommunications networks, image geometry and image synthesis, remote sensing, etc.
, Laboratoire des Sciences de l'Image, de l'Informatique et de la Télédétection (Laboratory of Image, Informatics and Teledetection Sciences)
Image sciences and technologies
The concept of the digital image is at the heart of this sector of research. It combines interdiciplinary skills (informatics, robotics, applied mathematics, imaging) for applications in the medical field, in plasma physics and fluid mechanics.
In the field of medical imaging, the IRCAD trains more than 3,000 people in telesurgery and contributes to the use of synthetic surgical images.
LSIIT, Laboratoire des Sciences de l'Image, de l'Informatique et de la Télédétection (Laboratory of Image, Informatics and Teledetection Sciences)
IRMA, Institut de Recherche Mathématique Avancée (Institute of Advanced Mathermatical Research)
IPB, Institut de Physique Biologique (Institute of Biological Physics)
IRCAD, Institut de Recherche sur les Cancers de l'Appareil Digestif (Institute of Research into Cancers of the Digestive System)
IPG, Institut de Physique du Globe (Institute of Global Physics)
IMFS, Institut de Mécanique des Fluides et des Solides (Institute of Fluid and Solid Mechanics)
Scientific and technological collaborations are numerous in the fields of molecular modelling, medical imaging, thematic cartography, geological modelling, and visual robot control.
ICT start-ups
Several ICT start-ups have originated in the skills of the teachers / researchers at the Université Louis Pasteur and the excellence of its basic research. They have been able to take advantage of the infrastructure of SEMIA (Sciences, Entreprise et Marché, Incubateur d'Alsace (Sciences, Business and Market, Alsace Incubator)), a public incubator for innovative companies, whose premises are located in direct proximity to the principal sites of the university and the CNRS.
> Esprim : Provision of industrial equipment for a limited period without the necessity of acquisition. This enables industry to use new generation equipment without incurring any investment costs.
> Ixelis : Design and development of a new documentary system for editing and publishing technical and scientific data.
> Kaliasys : Development of computer video terminals with broadcast services in ASP1 mode.
> Pixium : Development, production and sale of tools and support for assistance in decision-making by interactive 3D simulation in real time based on the use of VRML technology for studies in urban planning, landscaping and industrial production.
> Communigram : Development and commercialisation of project management and data systems.
