• Coq: evidence checkers, highly prized by computer scientists.
• Pharo: advanced object-oriented programming, adopted by the academic world as well as by industrialists.
• SOFA: physical modelers, platform for multi-physics simulation, widely used by the medical world.
• Scikit-learn automatic learning, very effective in the field of the fight against fraud for example.

Innovative pedagogy, the focus of scientific research teams Inria

Two axes structure this new system in order to take up the challenges of the digital revolution:

1. Enabling Inria's ecosystems to reach the international level, by opening up trainings focused on open source software;

2. Exploit the pedagogical innovations implemented within Inria, with the support of of Inria Learning-Lab, partner of "France Université Numérique" in the framework of the MOOC.

The trainings will benefit from the latest pedagogical innovations. They can be delivered remotely, efficiently, thanks to new technologies.
