The Côte d’Azur is one of the French university metropolises with one of the highest national scientific densities in digital sciences and mathematics alongside Paris and Grenoble. It also hosts the largest and oldest technopole in Europe, where nearly 60% of the 36,000 jobs are focused on digital technologies with over 60 different nationalities.
It is for this reason that the academic stakeholders of Nice-Sophia Antipolis are preparing a bid for an interdisciplinary artificial intelligence institute (3IA) initiated by Université Côte d’Azur, the CNRS, and Inria.
Centered around chairs held by internationally renowned researchers, the transdisciplinary research ambition of Université Côte d’Azur and its Initiative of Excellence (IDEX) UCAJEDI are a major component of the strategy for this area and benefit from significant support from the economic and industrial ecosystem, whose high-tech activities have become dominant and have profoundly transformed the attractiveness of the Côte d’Azur.
Bringing together key members of Université Côte d’Azur in artificial intelligence such as the CNRS, Eurecom, Inria, and Mines ParisTech, the institute will gather more than a hundred researchers and research-teachers specializing in the field around the three missions of training, research, and transfer to industry.
