Visite délégation université Laval au Centre Inria d'Université Côte d'Azur
A delegation of researchers from Université Laval visited the 3IA Côte d'Azur for a focused series of scientific exchanges.
This month, the partnership between Université Côte d’Azur and Université Laval (Canada) reached a significant milestone: the 10th anniversary of the research collaboration between two institutions united by a shared commitment to advancing science.
On this occasion, a delegation of researchers from Université Laval visited the AI Cluster 3IA Côte d'Azur for a focused series of scientific exchanges, structured around three core research themes:
▸ Large Language Models & Multimodal AI
▸ AI for Medical Imaging
▸ AI & Omics Data
These sessions brought together experts from both institutions to discuss methodological advances and ongoing research challenges.
Beyond the scientific programme, this visit was a key step in the strategic planning process shaping the partnership's roadmap for the next five years, with the goal of deepening joint research initiatives.
