LISN, located on the Orsay campus, is a research laboratory created in January 2021 due to the union of 7 LIMSI research groups and 7 LRI research teams. It is a Joint Research Unit (UMR) with CNRS, University Paris-Saclay, INRIA, and CentraleSupélec. LISN is a multidisciplinary research laboratory that brings together researchers and teacher-researchers from different disciplines in the Engineering and Information Sciences, as well as Life Sciences and Human and Social Sciences.

LISN hosts about 400 people, including 170 researchers and 150 Ph. D students. Its research forces cover a broad spectrum of fundamental and applied computer science and engineering science research. It is composed of five departments corresponding to interdisciplinary themes:

  • Algorithms, Learning and Computation
  • Interaction with Humans
  • Fluid Mechanics and Energy Mechanics
  • Data Science
  • Language Science and Technologies

The departments work together on five cross-cutting actions. The aim is to develop new directions and take advantage of the originality and diversity of the expertise of LISN members.

  • Deep Learning for Physics and Physics for Learning
  • Computer sciences and SHS
  • Arts and Sciences
  • Visualization and exploration of big data
  • Responsible Research
