2. The scientific excellence:
More than 750 publications among which 60 were published in
scientific journals and books
70 participations in national and international evaluation
campaigns (regularly ranked in the top 3)
More than 30 internal evaluation campaigns every year
16 awards (best publication, young researcher award, thesis prize,
CNRS Crystal Medal, etc.)
75 core technology modules developed and integrated into application
demonstrators (among which several in open source, available on
sourceforge.net)
The industrial dynamics:
31 patents
35 application demonstrators
9 awards (Best Demo at ACM Multimedia Grand Challenge, Golden Mobile Award, TV
Innovations Awards at CES 2012, etc.)
A worldwide leading position for several industrial partners (LTU Technologies for image
recognition, Jouve for book digitalization and e-book conversion, Technicolor for social,
interactive and personalized TV)
After 5 years of collaborative
work, Quaero’s R&D phase
will end in December 2013. Its
results show the collaborative
spirit, the scientific
excellence, and the industrial
dynamics of the program.
The collaborative spirit:
• An ecosystem of more than
1000 people (300 FTE)
• A biannual workshop
gathering more than 130
researchers and engineers
• 50 ongoing PhD theses
among which 30 will be
defended before the end of
the program
• 33 nationalities
• Mobility of the young
academic actors
recruited by industrial
partners (SYSTRAN,
Vocapia Research,
LNE) or on the
international
stage (USA,
Canada, China,
Switzerland,
Germany, etc.)
