They support us
Here you will find a brief description of institutes, laboratories or
companies which supported us during our iGEM adventure.
Université Joseph Fourier
Université Joseph Fourier (UJF) is one
of Europe's leading universities. It offers its students high-quality
education, providing them with a passport to the professional world.
UJF has acquired this international status through the quality of its
teaching and the excellence of its research, much of which takes place
in collaboration with major international and national organisations.
Grenoble INP
The Grenoble Institute of Technology is
one of Europe's leading technology universities, at the heart of
innovation from more than a century. It is involved in major
development projects such as Minatec, or the Minalogic (micro and
nanotechnology and embedded software) and EnRRDIS (renewable energy)
industrial clusters. With its solid combination of teaching, research
and business promotion, Grenoble Institute of Technology plays a key
role in making Grenoble one of the most attractive scientific and
industrial locations worldwide.
Fondation partenaire de
Grenoble INP
The Grenoble Institute of Technology's
partner foundation was created to develop the international
competitivity of GIT. For that purpose, the foundation collect money
with his partners and support industrial projects and start up
creation. With his industrial contacts, the foundation gives us a hand
to contact enterprises for sponsoring.
Ville de Grenoble
Grenoble is the capital of the French
Alps. Grenoble is famous for its great ski resorts: Alpes d'Huez, Les
Deux Alpes, but also for its ice hockey team: "Les
Brûleurs de Loups". Grenoble is also one of the largest French
university towns. The city of Grenoble encourages and supports all the
projects of his students and follows us in our iGEM adventure.
La Métro

municipalities to develop major projects, conduct political activities
and develop the territory.
Minatec
MINATEC has created a powerful
collaborative work environment that attracts leading
international-caliber scientists in the fields of optronics,
biotechnologies, components, circuit design, and motion sensing by
bringing professionals together to work shoulder to shoulder in
project mode, pooling know-how, and providing shared resources like
open technology platforms
CIME Nanotech
The CIME Nanotech facility is a
university training and research center in Grenoble, devoted to all
aspects of micro- and nanotechnologies and their applications in
microelectronics, energy production and biotechnologies. Organized by
Grenoble Universities, the CIME is located in MINATEC. During the
summer, the team used the biotechnology facility for meetings,
numerical simulations and biological experiments.
CEA
The CEA is the French Alternative
Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (Commissariat à l'énergie
atomique et aux énergies alternatives). It is a public body
established in October 1945 by General de Gaulle. A leader in
research, development and innovation, the CEA mission statement has
two main objectives : To become the leading technological research
organization in Europe and to ensure that the nuclear deterrent
remains effective in the future.
CEA organizations which
support our project are:
- « CEA- Direction des Sciences du vivant »
- « CEA- Direction des Sciences de la Matière »
- « CEA-Direction de la Recherche Technologique »
- Programme Transversal Nanotoxicologie
- Programme Transversal Technologies pour la Santé
- Programme transversal Nanosciences
CNRS
The "Centre National de la Recherche
Scientifique" (National Center for Scientific Research) is a
government-funded research organization, under the administrative
authority of France's Ministry of Research. CNRS encourages
collaboration between specialists from different disciplines in
particular with the university thus opening up new fields of enquiry
to meet social and economic needs. CNRS has developed
interdisciplinary programs which bring together various CNRS
departments as well as other research institutions and industry.
INRIA
The "Institut National de Recherche en
Informatique et en Automatique" (The National Institute for Research
in Computer and Control) is a public organization, which is focusing
on communication and information sciences and technologies.
Embassy of
France
Currently, the Embassy of France in the
