LIMMS is a joint research unit, between the Institute of Engineering and Systems Science of CNRS and IIS, established in 1995. LIMMS welcomes CNRS researchers, postdoctoral fellows supported by JSPS and CNRS, PhD and internship students. Since 1995, more than 470 researchers were hosted. Between 2011 to 2016, LIMMS and his EUJO-LIMMS extension became the European Commission's first international laboratory in Japan. In June 2014, SMMiL-E structure as a mirror site of LIMMS was launched in Lille. Furthermore, in 2024, with a view to strengthening cooperation in Asia, the EURA-LIMMS international research network, supported by the CNRS, was established. LIMMS is currently pursuing a number of collaborative projects, including the CREST project (JST) on energy harvesting and the French national PEPR projects on DNA data storage and organs/organoids on chip.
