The majority of students are from Asia and Africa, with some coming from the US and France. Many were enrolled at Georgia Tech, while others were\u0026nbsp;enrolled at partner institutions, such as the University of Lorraine, CentraleSup\u0026eacute;lec, and ENSAM. Most of these doctoral students have gone onto careers with large industrial groups, a testament to the commercialization of research coming out of IRL 2958.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Ch4\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EImpressive results\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/h4\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe IRL recorded more than \u0026euro;1.3 million in new contracts in 2021.
