Overview

The Télécom & Société numérique Carnot Institute (Carnot TSN) is France’s premier Carnot Institute dedicated to information and communication sciences and technologies at a national level. It offers cutting-edge research and integrated solutions to the complex technological issues that have emerged in the ongoing digital, energy, environmental and industrial revolutions:

Communication and data processing networks and systems,
Strong interactions between interfaces and contents,
Critical role of communication in the development of uses.

We are focused on the technical, economic and social consequences of these revolutions, especially regarding IoT, networks & media of the future, uses and services, autonomy and health, environment sustainability and global security.
