3IA Côte d'Azur Techpool

In May 2021, 3IA Côte d’Azur set up a team of data scientist engineers named “The 3IA Techpool”.

Experts in digital technologies and data science, their mission is to be involved in R&D projects with 3IA Côte d’Azur researchers and companies with engineering needs in artificial intelligence or data analysis (statistics). The duration of their involvement varies according to the project (for a maximum period of 6 months renewable).

The project must include a researcher holding a 3IA Côte d'Azur Chair, a researcher from the team of a 3IA Côte d'Azur Chair, or a researcher belonging to one of the members of 3IA Côte d’Azur (UCA, Central Méditerranée, CNRS, École de l'air et et l'espace, EURECOM, Inria, INSERM, SKEMA Business School). This requirement ensures that the 3IA Côte d'Azur Techpool is not in competition with private software and digital services companies that could undertake the project without a public research partnership.

If the project is carried out in collaboration with a public or private partner, it should result in contractualization and co-financing by the partner or support from the 3IA Start-it-up program. The 3IA Techpool thus enables researchers to:

• Conduct a feasibility study for a research or technology transfer project;
• Provide technological support to an existing research project;
• Support the technology maturation of research results.

The engineers of the 3IA Techpool are recruited, trained and supervised by the 3IA Côte d’Azur team and report to its Executive Committee.
