“Mankind and its environment at the heart of computer science”

The Institut de Recherche en Informatique de Toulouse (IRIT), established in 1990, is a Joint Research Unit (UMR 5505) of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), the Institut National Polytechnique de Toulouse (Toulouse INP), the Université Toulouse 3 Paul Sabatier (UT3), the Université Toulouse Capitole (UT Capitole) and the Université Toulouse Jean Jaurès (UT2J).

IRIT is one of the largest UMR at the national level, is one of the pillars of research in Occitanie with its 600 members, permanent and non-permanent, and about 100 external collaborators. Due to its multi-tutorial nature (CNRS, Toulouse Universities), its scientific impact and its interactions with other fields, the laboratory constitutes one of the structuring forces of the IT landscape and its applications in the digital world, both at regional and national level.
Through its cutting-edge work and dynamics, our unit has been able to define its identity and acquire undeniable visibility, while positioning itself at the heart of changes in local structures: University of Toulouse, as well as the various mechanisms resulting from future investments (LabEx CIMI, IRT Saint-Exupéry, SAT TTT, 3IA ANITI).

IRIT has focused its research on five major scientific issues and six strategic application areas.
