Presentation

XLIM is a Joint Research Unit of the University of Limoges / CNRS located on several geographical sites in Limoges, Brive and Poitiers. XLIM is a multidisciplinary research institute which brings a group of more than 450 people among professors, CNRS researchers, engineers, technicians, post-doctoral researchers, PhD students and administrative staff. Since march 2011, in partnership with the SPCTS laboratory, XLIM is the project leader for the Sigma-LIM laboratory of excellence focused on « Ceramics materials and components specifically related to integrated, secured, smart communicating systems ». XLIM is also involved in an industrial chair ANR DEFIS-RF : Thales & Thales Alenia Space (December 2013) and a key partner of major industrial groups and state agencies such as CNES, DGA and CEA.
