The Thalès Group, employing around 2,000 over its two Bordeaux sites, is firming up its strategy of closer co-operation with Bordeaux University.
To strengthen the links, an association of research bodies called Albatros (Alliance Bordeaux Universities and Thalès in Research on AviOnics Systems) has been formally set up. Apart from Thalès Avionics and Thalès Onboard Systems, the consortium comprises the CNRS (National Central Research Body), Bordeaux Universities 1 and 2, the Bordeaux Polytechnic Institute, the Federation of Higher Education Institutes in the Department of the Gironde together with INRIA (Institute for Applied Computer Research).
The advanced level of electronics research and information technology skills of these research bodies was sufficient to convince the group to make Bordeaux one of its major support points for fundamental research and has consequently allocated it an annual budget of over $6 million.
