Interdisciplinary research at IMT Atlantique

Some of our research are inter-disciplinary and live in several departments, this make them less visible and readable.

To make them more visible, IMT Atlantique has grouped them into modern themes: the "ISTIs" for Scientific an Technical Initiatives. Their objectives are :

  • Giving future partners of the school a single point of entry on these themes
  • Participate in the school's medium-term recruitment strategy.
  • To ensure that each ISTI is managed by a two-person team consisting of a specialist in the field and a head of department, who will be asked to help with recruitment.

In 2022, two ISTI started : Artificial intelligence and cybersecurity. Since, other axes have been identified : future industry, augmented human, energy, digital health, cloud and IoT

Sciences sans conscience n'est que ruine de l'âme (François Rabelais)

Today, scientific integrity refers to the rules and values that govern scientific activity and guarantee its honesty and fairness. It complements research ethics, which examine the implications of research and regulate its practices.

In accordance with decree no. 2021-1572 applicable to public establishments contributing to the public research service, a Scientific Integrity Referent (RIS) is in charge of this policy at Institut Mines-Telecom. It relies on a network of scientific integrity delegates in each school of Institut Mines-Télécom.
