aivancity and the ENS de Lyon are embarking on a research collaboration as part of the preparation of Hugo Hadjur’s PhD thesis in computer science on ‘the design of sustainable, autonomous, low-energy connected systems’. This thesis is supervised by Laurent Lefevre (PhD and HDR), an INRIA research fellow at the ENS de Lyon, and is co-supervised by him and by Doreid Ammar (PhD), professor and academic director at aivancity.

A leading institution for over 30 years, ESITC Paris trains civil engineers who are recognised by key players in the construction sector. Founded in 1992, accredited with the EESPIG label, recognised by the State and authorised by the CTI, it offers five-year programmes following the baccalaureate or three-year programmes following two or three years of post-baccalaureate study. Its teaching approach, closely linked to the industry, prepares engineers for roles in design, production, operations and management, and the school is a member of the UGEI and the CDEFI.

ESTP is an EESPIG engineering school, accredited by the CTI and a member of the Conférence des Grandes Écoles. Founded in 1891, it has 45,000 alumni and trains 3,000 students and 1,000 professionals each year, making it France’s leading institution specialising in the fields of construction, infrastructure, urban planning, property and energy efficiency.

This partnership aims to develop interdisciplinary training programmes in artificial intelligence and data management, taking a responsible and ethical approach, for the benefit of businesses and society in Tunisia and, more broadly, across the African continent. This collaboration also offers ESB students opportunities for study abroad and dual degree programmes with aivancity.

The partnership agreement with the EPF, which is relocating to Cachan in 2021, provides for collaboration in a number of areas, including the EPF’s representation on the aivancity Board by its Director, the sharing of resources and teaching facilities, a dual degree programme, joint research programmes and projects, joint corporate events, and a joint Industry 4.0 incubator project…

Based at California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly) in San Luis Obispo, the Ethics + Emerging Sciences group is a non-partisan organisation that focuses on the risks, ethics and social impact of emerging sciences and technologies.

avancity Paris-Cachan and Excelia are developing an academic partnership, building on their complementary academic and geographical strengths. Under the terms of their agreement, the institutions are delivering aivancity courses as part of Excelia Business School’s International BBA programme at the aivancity campus in Cachan and/or via distance learning. This collaboration also aims to offer students a combined degree programme comprising Excelia’s BBA and an aivancity MSc.

“This partnership with ISART embodies our shared vision of the future, where artificial intelligence and creativity come together to push the boundaries of video games. AI is profoundly transforming the gaming industry, whether by optimising development processes, enhancing immersive experiences or enriching narrative interactions. Together, aivancity and ISART are paving the way for a new generation of creators who will be able to fully harness the potential of these technologies to imagine the interactive and responsible worlds of tomorrow.”

According to Pierre Ihmle, Chief Academic Officer at Sommet Education: “The digitalisation of service is a genuine need within the hospitality industry. In any technological development, the concept of ethics is essential; people must remain at the heart of it all. aivancity is therefore the ideal partner to develop this certificate, thanks to their expertise in artificial intelligence, but also because of their keen awareness of the ethical impact of AI on our society.”

De Montfort University Leicester (DMU) is a vibrant, dynamic and forward-looking global university, built on academic excellence, graduate careers, and local and international impact and collaboration that extend across university life and academic studies.

The International Observatory on the Societal Impacts of AI and Digital Technology is a forum for discussion and reflection for all stakeholders concerned with artificial intelligence (AI), its development and its use; The Observatory brings together more than 160 researchers to maximise the positive effects of AI and minimise its negative impacts.

Ostéobio is the oldest school offering full-time post-A-level osteopathy training, having been founded in 1988. Renowned for its scientifically validated curriculum and research-focused approach, it trains versatile osteopaths and develops partnerships with laboratories and major companies.

“Understanding, utilising and mastering AI and data are a strategic priority for accountancy and audit firms, whose business model will in future rely not on the production and audit of financial statements, but on their ability to support SME managers in all aspects of their business development. This will necessarily depend on their ability to use artificial intelligence to analyse the data passing through their information systems and to present it to their clients with added value, particularly of a human nature.” – Julien TOKARZ, Chairman of Sup’Expertise

aivancity Paris-Cachan and UPEC are joining forces to develop interdisciplinary training programmes in Artificial Intelligence and to promote a responsible and ethical approach to Artificial Intelligence for the benefit of society.

United by shared educational, human and solidarity-based values, and keen to work together in the service of young people and higher education, aivancity Paris-Cachan, the EPF engineering school, ESTP and ESITC Paris are coming together at the Cachan campus to form an alliance centred on an ambitious project, grounded in their shared achievements and the unique characteristics of each of the four institutions.
