It was created 1 January 2007, as the result of a union of the 24 research teams of the previous IMAG Institute and the INRIA Rhône-Alpes.
The goal is to leverage the complementary nature and recognised quality of the 23 research teams of the LIG to contribute to fundamental aspects of the discipline (modelling, languages, methods, algorithms) and to create a synergy between the conceptual, technological and societal challenges that surround this theme.
The LIG is formed by about 500 people: - 41% of PhD students, - 26% of teacher-researchers, - 14% of post-doc, invited, contracts, - 10% of full-time researchers, - 9% of administrative and technical staff.
[4] The aim of this association is to promote scientific and social life between PhD students working in the Grenoble computer lab or in collaboration with them.
Its activities may be extended to include other personnel of the Laboratory, by welcoming newcomers, organizing social events and scientific seminars, and various services.
