Institut Eurécom is an engineering school in the domain of information and commuunication technology and a research center in Communications Systems. It is of small size and very dynamic. It was created in 1991 in Sophia-Antipolis by Ecole nationale supérieure des Télécommunications(TELECOM ParisTech) and the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) joined since by of other European Universities such as the Politecnico di Torino et Helsinki University of Technology and Technische Universität München.
It has benefited from a strong interaction with the industrial world. The current partners are Swisscom, Thales, SFR, Orange, Hitachi, STMicroelectronics, Bouygues Télécom, Sharp, Cisco and BMW Group Research & Technology.
The institute also has a strong international vocation, that express itself in the recruitment of professors and students from many different countries, and in the format of the teachings (European Program and courses given in English). Eurécom recruits about one hundred students of Masters level per year, and around sixty students at phd level.
The research activity of Eurécom is a determining element of the life of the Institute. It is organized around three principal themes: mobile communication, multimedia communication and business communication (networks & security). Two TELECOM ParisTech laboratories are associated with Eurécom, System on Chip and Usages of the Information Technology.
The institute is a major participant to European and national research programs and is associated with the CNRS, as a laboratory in communication systems (FRE 2660).
