The Gallium project participates in the “U3CAT” project of the Arpège programme of Agence Nationale de la Recherche . This 3-year action (2009-2011) is coordinated by CEA LIST and focuses on program verification tools for critical embedded C codes. Sandrine Blazy and Xavier Leroy are involved in this project on issues related to memory models and formal semantics for the C language, at the interface between compilers and verification tools.

The Gallium project is involved in the “CeProMi” Actions de Recherche Collaborative . This ARC (2008–2009) is coordinated by Claude Marché at INRIA Saclay and involves François Pottier, Arthur Charguéraud and Alexandre Pilkiewicz. It focuses on deductive verification of imperative, functional and object-oriented programs.

Finally, Xavier Leroy participates in the “Ascert” project (2009-2011), coordinated by David Pichardie at INRIA Rennes and funded by Fondation de Recherche pour l'Aéronautique et l'Espace . The objective of Ascert is the formal verification of static analyzers.
