International Master in Embedded Systems Security - IMESS (formerly MISTRE)

Today, embedded systems are everywhere (IoT, automotive, buildings, health devices, control systems) and their safety and security are major concerns for our societies. Because of the existence of new attacks, more and more risks are related to the use of these smart or connected systems in critical applications. Thus, the IMESS Master focuses on the design of safe and secure embedded systems. Due to the multidisciplinary nature of safety and security domains, and as embedded systems are based on both hardware and software parts, the IMESS program offers both design and embedded programming skills to the students: design, verification, test, dependability, security of System-on-Chip, and computing systems.

Esisar is part of the Grenoble Institute of Engineering and Management (Grenoble INP) at Université Grenoble Alpes.

Anchored on its territory, multidisciplinary, and open to the international, Université Grenoble Alpes brings together the main public higher education institutions of Grenoble and Valence.

The foundations of Université Grenoble Alpes stem from the aggregation of the former Université Grenoble Alpes and prestigious higher education and research institutions in Grenoble: Grenoble INP Institute of Engineering and Management, Sciences Po Grenoble School of Political Studies, and ENSAG School of Architecture.

Grenoble INP brings together 8 renowned engineering schools and management, close to the industrial world and open to international exchanges.

Located in the Valence campus, Esisar trains our future engineers in Embedded Systems and IT technologies, with a cutting-edge curriculum spanning Electronics, Computer Sciences/IT, Control, and Networks. Our engineering degree program is certified by the EUR-ACE (EURopean ACcredited Engineer) label, with the European-accredited engineering master degree program certificate. Esisar welcomes 500 students each year, among which 15 % of international students. Our five-year-studies engineering school has developed its courses and programs in close contact with industry and has a well-developed business promotion policy.

Esisar also hosts a laboratory in systems design and integration, the LCIS, which develops high-level research in strong connection with many international laboratories.

Since 2017, Esisar hosts the European finals of the Cyber Security Awareness Week (CSAW) organized in collaboration with NYU Tandon School of Engineering.
