A non-notable research center. The entire lead is pretty much a copyvio of [http://www.im2.ch/ http://www.im2.ch/], and much of the other text seems to be from an earlier revision of that site. The wikilinks were added as the result of a {{deadend}} template I added.

In addition, there is a conflict of interest: User:Ffoglia created the article, and "The IM2 delegate for Advancement of Woman is Dr. François Foglia..." [http://www.im2.ch/women/index_html/view?searchterm=foglia] Raymie (t • c) 01:51, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

::comment I think we should allow organizations to create their own wikipages, so long as they keep to WP:NPOV, and I felt that this page was neutral in tone. Francis Bond (talk) 03:35, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

• keep around 300 hits on Google scholar (mainly acknowledgements) seems just about enough to make it notable. It is described as a notable site in

[research program]

The National Center of Competence

in Research on Interactive Multimodal

Information Management (IM2) is an

international multipartner program that

researches and develops prototypes in

human-machine interaction, focusing

on technologies to coordinate natural

input modes (such as speech, image,

pen, touch, gestures, head and/or body

movements, and physiological sensors)

with multimedia system outputs (such

as speech, sounds, images, three-dimen-

sional graphics and animation.) IM2

Web resources include research and

education information.

: this is not just a passing mention thus significant coverage', and is in a reputable journal, thus reliable. As a large government funded institution, it must also be referred to in multiple Swiss reports, but I can't access them here, perhaps User:Ffoglia can, and that would give us multiple sources.
