Sorbonne Université (SU)

The Sorbonne Université (SU) is the largest scientific and medical research university in France.

Ranked 1st amongst all universities in France, Sorbonne Université is also among the top universities worldwide (39th in the world and 6th in Europe, according to 2010 Shanghai ranking).

Sorbonne Université hosts over 125 research units, most of which are affiliated to the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) and the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research (INSERM).

Sorbonne Université enrols about 31000 students and awards more than 1800 post-graduate diplomas per year. With more than 5000 scientific staff members who constantly work in partnerships with the private sector, research at Sorbonne Université produces more than 6500 publications per year.

The Sorbonne Université research unit participating in this project is the Neuromorphic Vision and Natural Computation Group, part of the Sorbonne Université-affiliated Vision Institute (IDV).

IDV is one of the most important European centres for integrated research on vision diseases. The Neuromorphic Vision and Natural Computation unit was created by Pr R. Benosman, formerly at the Institute of Intelligent Systems and Robotics of University Pierre and Marie Curie (UMR 7222), in order to create a unique neuromorphic team for developing biology-inspired, event-based sensing and computation, referred to as the EDC technology.

The team benefits from the expertise of its two leaders, both active members of the international neuromorphic engineering community. R. Benosman is developing new paradigms for natural, event-based computation and processing. Already a few years after its foundation, this research unit constitutes one of the leading neuromorphic research centres in Europe.
