The challenge of the EFELIA project is to increase the skills of all publics in using AI and, thus, to support the dissemination of this disruptive technology in the French economy and increase its competitiveness in strategic sectors.
The Université Côte d'Azur's "EFELIA Côte d'Azur" project was selected as part of the "Compétences et Métiers d'Avenir" (CMA) call for expressions of interest, jointly operated by the Agence Nationale de la Recherche and the Caisse des Dépôts et Consignation.
Université Côte d'Azur, the project coordinator, will receive €8M for a period of 5 years to implement the project in collaboration with the EFELIA Côte d'Azur consortium partners: Inria, CNRS, Inserm, Eurecom and SKEMA Business School.
The aim of this project, which is run locally by the 3IA Côte d'Azur Institute in collaboration with the 3IA network, is to create a French School of Artificial Intelligence, which aims to develop and expand AI training at all levels (specialist or interdisciplinary).
The EFELIA project will be implemented through several actions: the certification of training courses under the label "Ecole Française de l'IA", the development of the AI training offer, the implementation of calculation platforms and the creation of MOOCs in AI.
The creation of educational content will be coordinated with the other 3IAs, according to the disciplines of each Institute:
