Experimental platforms

An experimental platform is a consistent set of hardware and software dedicated to a research activity. A PFE is a tool shared by research teams or units.

PFEs are a part of D2T's mission. Dream, as a local representative of D2T is responsible for the local platforms coordination.

PFEs may involve IJD (Ingénieur Jeune Diplômé) or IS (Ingénieur Spécialiste).
