The IRT association
Since 2015, the 8 French Technological Research Institutes and the 7 Institutes for Energy Transition have come together under the roof of the “French Institutes of Technologies” association, whose main aim is to promote the IRT and ITE model in France and internationally, but also to promote exchanges, as well as coherence and complementarity of research programmes, between the different institutes.
