International Research Projects (IRP, former LIAs)
International Research Projects (IRP) are « laboratories without walls », which aim to structure and reinforce an existing collaboration between at least two laboratories, one in France and the other abroad. IRP activities are coordinated by two co-principal investigators and by a scientific steering committee. The IRPs are in association with the CNRS except for one in association with the Inserm.

International Research Laboratory (IRL)
The IRL (International Research Laboratory, formerly UMI) were created in 2002. Their status is comparable to that of a CNRS Joint Research Unit (UMR). An IRL brings together in the same laboratory the CNRS staff assigned to it and the staff of the other country.
The IRLs correspond to international research establishments within which research activities are carried out in common around shared scientific axes. They structure in an identified location the significant and lasting presence of scientists from a limited number of French and foreign research institutions (one foreign partner country) (international.cnrs.fr)
