Highlights of the Year

The team has strengthened its ties with leading research groups in Canada:

• Fanny Chevalier has been appointed at the rank of Assistant Professor (status only) by the Department of Computer Science of the University of Toronto .

• Stéphane Huot has been granted the “Collaborator” status by the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Music Media and Technology (CIRMMT) of McGill University.

• Mitacs/Inria research awards allowed two of our Phd students to visit the University of Waterloo and McGill University. A third Mitacs award with Campus France will allow one PhD student from Carleton University to visit us in early 2016.

• Two other PhD students and three researchers from McGill University, the University of Waterloo and the University of Toronto visited us over the year.

Fanny Chevalier spent a week with the French news website Rue89 in October and one of their journalists (Benoît Le Corre ) later spent one week at Inria Lille. Four articles published on Rue89 resulted from these visits, with over 40,000 views at the time of this writing.
