The partnership will be explored through the \u003Cstrong class=\u0022spip\u0022\u003EGeorgia Tech Lorraine-CNRS Unit\u00e9 Mixte Internationale (UMI 2958)\u003C\/strong\u003E established at the GTL campus in 2006 and directed by \u003Cstrong class=\u0022spip\u0022\u003EAbdallah Ougazzaden\u003C\/strong\u003E. In 2009, the creation of a CNRS mirror site in Atlanta has highlighted the research collaborative exchanges between Metz and Atlanta. \u003Cbr \/\u003E \u003Cbr \/\u003EThe objective of this symposium is \u003Cstrong class=\u0022spip\u0022\u003Eto implement new industrial partnerships with the Lafayette Institute and the GTL-UMI in order to initiate innovative collaborations on automotive application and robotics.\u003C\/strong\u003E The exemplary cooperation of the GTL-UMI with the \u003Cstrong class=\u0022spip\u0022\u003EOpen Lab GT-PSA Peugeot Citroen\u003C\/strong\u003E in materials, optoelectronics and robotics will be exposed in this symposium as a structuring model of innovation between research and industry. \u003Cbr \/\u003E \u003Cbr \/\u003EGTL has been fuelled in many ways by GTL-UMI carrying out research in the domains of telecommunications, innovative materials, secure networks, nanotechnologies. The laboratory conducts a \u003Cstrong class=\u0022spip\u0022\u003Eunique transatlantic collaborative program of research\u003C\/strong\u003E. Research faculty and graduate students from Georgia Tech, French universities (Supelec, ENSAM, Paul Verlaine University, Franche-Comt\u00e9 University), and other CNRS laboratories work on joint research projects sponsored by industry and by regional or national funding. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cstrong class=\u0022spip\u0022\u003EIn 2010\u003C\/strong\u003E, during the event\u003Cstrong class=\u0022spip\u0022\u003E France-Atlanta: Together towards Innovation\u003C\/strong\u003E, agreements were signed between Georgia Tech and French Officials coming from Lorraine. This concluded the creation in Metz of the \u003Cstrong class=\u0022spip\u0022\u003ELafayette Institute\u003C\/strong\u003E, with the objective of creating a favourable environment for high tech service to industry, applied R\u0026amp;D, and spin-off companies in the optoelectronic sector. This structure will enable the creation of innovative products based on the research and scientific results of the GTL-UMI.
