index - Centre de Recherche en Automatique de Nancy

 

Created in 1980, the CRAN is a joint research unit (UMR 7039) shared by the University of Lorraine and the CNRS (Institute of Computer Sciences - formerly INS2I).

The laboratory has nearly 250 members: as of January 1, 2024, there are 120 researchers or teacher-researchers (including 8 CNRS researchers section 7 of the CoNRS), researchers from the Lorraine Cancer Institute (ICL, Center for the Fight against cancer), from the Regional University Hospital Center (CHRU) of Nancy or from external organizations, 5 distinguished researchers. The administrative service and the research support service total 27 staff. CRAN welcomes nearly a hundred doctoral students, post-doctoral students and visiting researchers. In 2023, scientific production included nearly 300 articles or communications in national or international journals and conferences. CRAN's work is based on around twenty pieces of equipment (prototypes, demonstrators, platforms, some open and labeled) and develops software and decision-making tools. The research carried out at CRAN concerns the disciplines of automation, signal and image processing, computer engineering, manufacturing, biology and neurology linked to oncology and neuroscience. The research is upstream, finalized, transfer, valorization, translational, clinical.

The laboratory is organized into 3 scientific departments.
