The Institut des Nanotechnologies de Lyon (INL) is a Joint Research Unit (UMR 5270). The INL is the result of the merger of CEGELY (Centre de Génie Electrique de Lyon) and LAI (Laboratoire d'Automatique Industrielle de Lyon), and the integration of researchers specialized in Environmental Microbiology. It covers the disciplines of electrical engineering, electronics and automation (EEA), with interdisciplinary gateways to the life sciences in particular.
