Section: Overall Objectives

In January 2010, the research laboratories of the Grenoble Universities were evaluated by the French AERES evaluation agency. Within this context, each of the 24 research groups of the Laboratoire Informatique de Grenoble (LIG) were individually evaluated with respect to 4 criteria: Scientific Quality, Visibility, Governance, and Scientific Project, as well as overall activity. The results were labeled with a grade (A+, A, B, C). The PRIMA research group received an overall score of A+, and was on of only two research groups in Grenoble to receive a score of A+ in all four areas: Scientific Quality, Visibility, Governance, and Scientific Project.
Members of the PRIMA group have coordinated the submission of the proposal AMIQUAL4HOME to the second round of funding for Equipment for Scientific Excellence (EQUIPEX) of the programme Investissement d'Avenir. AMIQUAL4HOME has been ranked 45 of the 270 proposals submitted and is listed among the Laureat of the 2011 Equipex programme.
PRIMA director James Crowley has been named as a senior member of the Institut Universitaire de France (IUF) with a research programme entitled "Perception for Social Interaction".
