The University of Lille has accredited 50 platforms, which are organised around 10 themes and made accessible to the academic and private sectors to accelerate tomorrow’s discoveries.

National and international platforms

The platforms are key to positioning the Lille site at the highest international level and strengthening research partnerships with the socio-economic and cultural sectors. They cover all research topic areas in Lille. Many are recognised as facilities of excellence and are involved in national and international networks.

Expertise for the public and private sectors

The platforms provide the expertise of researchers, engineers and technicians in the use of cutting-edge equipment and the provision of services. They also provide access to databases and the computing resources needed to process them.

 

Environnements visuels et interaction

  • IrDIVE
    Research and Innovation in Digital and Interactive Visual Environments

    Competencies

    • Historical and social construction of the visual: analysis of the role and place of the visual in contemporary and past societies, taking into account not only the associated material, social, political and cultural aspects, but also the human dimension in scientific debates and technological and digital developments.
    • Perception and visual cognition: study of the phenomena involved in the visual exploration of a scene, perception and interaction with the objects that surround us, and the individual affective experience provoked by visual content.
    • Modelling, visualisation and interaction: development of methods for analysing and classifying complex data obtained from visual devices such as video, multispectral images, three-dimensional data (3D/4D) or heterogeneous data from electrophysiological sensors.
    • Arts, science and technology: creating synergy and collaboration between artists and scientists, with the aim of working together to produce objects that are both works of art and the results of scientific research.
