- MICAS (Microelectronics and Sensors)
- PSI (Center for Processing Speech and Images)
- SCD (Signals, Identification, System Theory and Automation; Computer Security & Industrial Cryptography; Document Architectures)
- TELEMIC (Antennas, Components, Circuits, Propagation and Networking)
The associated division INSYS groups the personnel working with IMEC in joined research.
