International Research and Innovation Centre in Intelligent Digital Systems (IRIXYS)

IRIXYS (www.irixys.org) is an international research and innovation Center in Intelligent Digital Systems created in March 2016 by the departments of computer science of the Universität Passau (Germany), the INSA Lyon (France) and Università degli Studi of Milano (Italy). In addition to research workshops, national and international large-scale projects, IRIXYS supports and promotes through the international doctoral college MDPS joint PhDs. The academic programme of IRIXYS also offers German-French double master degree.

With a focus on multimedia, data security as well as distributed and pervasive systems, IRIXYS aims among others at stimulating disruptive technological innovation.
