Diana Sebbar, Executive Director of IdEx and major AI projects at Université Côte d'Azur, and Serena Villata, Deputy Scientific Director of 3IA Côte d'Azur, were at the Inria Centre of Saclay on January 24 for the launch of the 9 IA-clusters.

On this occasion, Diana Sebbar was able to briefly present the 3IA Côte d'Azur institute to Elisabeth Borne, Minister of State, Minister for National Education, Higher Education and Research, Philippe Baptiste, Minister Delegate to the Minister of State, responsible for Higher Education and Research, and Clara Chappaz, Minister Delegate for Artificial Intelligence and the Digital Economy.

Opening the event, Elisabeth Borne reminded the audience that "National Education, Higher Education and Research play a crucial role in making France a world leader in artificial intelligence".

The 3IA Côte d'Azur 2030 project, labeled IA-cluster, is therefore an integral part of the national strategy for scientific excellence initiated by President Emmanuel Macron, with the aim of making France a world leader in AI.

Last but not least, the 3IA Côte d'Azur will have the honor of welcoming Clara Chappaz on February 3 at the Inria Center of the Université Côte d'Azur, during a visit that will enable her to meet the players in the Côte d'Azur AI ecosystem.
