International Research Networks (IRN)
An International Research Network involves several partners from France and other countries and creates a beneficial forum for scientific exchanges on a given research theme.
An IRN brings together from one to three laboratories per country working under the supervision of a coordinating committee for a renewable 5-year period. CNRS Informatics currently has 4 IRNs underway:
AI&Cyber
The main objective of the AI&Cyber network is to conduct joint research activities involving artificial intelligence (AI) for cybersecurity. AI has a major impact on many areas of digital science and even more widely. Learning algorithms can help define cybersecurity systems (biometric authentication, phishing attack detection, etc.), analyze digital traces (file slicing, system supervision, etc.) and create new attacks (biometrics, distributed denial of service, etc.).

EU-CHECK
Launched in May 2023,the IRN European Community Hub of Expertise in Cybersecurity Knowledge ( EU-CHECK) is an initiative to drive the European cybersecurity community to increase the multidisciplinary understanding of cybersecurity, in order to create the conditions for the emergence of secure digital systems. It explores security aspects from a multi-faceted perspective, as cybersecurity is a complex issue that needs to be approached from many different angles.
This IRN brings together researchers from 21 institutions from 16 EU countries. EU-CHECK provides a community platform where its multidisciplinary members engage in activities around three dimensions: education and training, research and innovation, and networking.
