International laboratories

As part of its international policy, the Université de Lyon is helping to initiate IRP (International Research Project) and IRL (International Research Laboratory) located primarily in the zones of the International Alliance.

What are IRPs and IRLs?

The IRPs (International Research Projects) and IRLs (International Research Laboratories) are tools for structuring international cooperation set up by the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS).
