Section: Contracts and Grants with Industry

France Télécom R&D

We work in collaboration with France Télécom since 1994. From 1994 to 2005, several contracts were established (3 PhD thesis, 3 co-development contracts). A pre-industrial software platform for collaborative virtual environments, called Spin|3D, has been developed in collaboration with France Télécom R&D (Lannion center).

We did participate with France Telecom to several projects (european, and national), and we are currently collaborating on the Part@ge ANR project.
