A reinforced partnership with the University of Lille

Several of our center's project-teams are shared with the University of Lille, in particular with two laboratories: CRIStAL and Paul Painlevé.

The Inria London Programme

Launched in 2019 with University College London (UCL), the Inria London Programme is an international research partnership around machine learning and artificial intelligence. The objective of this research program is to develop efficient algorithms capable of accomplishing complex tasks at lower computational cost. This is a way to contribute to building a sustainable and responsible digital world.

HumAIn Alliance and CornelIA CPER

The CornelIA project relies on the humAIn Alliance to structure a value chain based on data, from fundamental research to socio-economic applications. The SILECS and ROBOTEX platforms are at the heart of this initiative, aiming to establish the theoretical basis for developing ethical AI.
