IT - LIRIMA, the First Building Block of a Europe-Africa Alliance

http://www.bulletins-electroniques.com/actualites/62527.htm

Last November INRIA and six African Universities signed a convention for the creation of the LIRIMA International Laboratory (Laboratoire International de Recherche en Informatique et Mathématiques Appliquées, international research laboratory of computing and applied mathematics). Maurice Tchuente, a world renowned computer scientist, will be heading the Laboratory. Numerous other research organizations are partners of the research projects the laboratory has already launched. Seventy-three African researchers and 45 European and Canadian researchers, of which 25 from INRIA, have already decided to work for the new laboratory, which will lastingly reinforce the ICST (Information and Communication Science and Technology) focus group from the SARIMA project (financed by the French Ministry for Foreign and European Affairs from 2004 to 2008).

INRIA International Relations Departments believes that with its outlook to expand in Europe and Africa, LIRIMA may be the first building block of an African-European scientific alliance that can stand up to the two US and Asian giants.
