IMB - Université de Bourgogne, Dijon

The team is officially a common team with University of Nice, but also has very strong links with Université de Bourgogne and IMB (Institute of Mathematics in Burgundy). Bernard Bonnard is currently on leave from Université de Bourgogne; Jean-Baptiste Caillau collaborates actively with us; there is also an active common seminar http://math.unice.fr/~rifford/publis/Journee_McTAO/J_McTAO.html .

A formal convention between Inria and Université de Bourgogne is planned for 2014. It will make the IMB control team a part of McTAO.

GCM (ANR project)

This is a four year project ending in 2013, on Geometric Control Methods, Sub-Riemannian Geometry and Applications. It is organized in four “poles” and gathers people from Université du Sud Toulon-Var, Université de Bourgogne (Dijon), École Polytechnique (Paris), Nancy-Université, Université Joseph Fourier (Grenoble 1), Université Paris Sud, ParisTech ENSTA and Université Nice Sophia-Antipolis. Bernard Bonnard, Jean-Baptiste Caillau and Ludovic Rifford (leader of one pole) are members of this project. More details on the site; http://www-fourier.ujf-grenoble.fr/~charlot/GCM.html .
