IMT Atlantique is particularly involved in the national doctoral programme on artificial intelligence led by the Institut Mines-Télécom, called AI@IMT. Out of the first 10 thesis topics selected for 2022, IMT Atlantique is working on 7 in high-stake areas: security, health, the industry of the future, and the data economy.
The AI@IMT doctoral programme
Improving research on artificial intelligence by involving more PhD students in new or existing projects; encouraging research on AI with a particular focus on the digital transition, the energy transition, the industry of the future, and connected health; developing research partnerships to meet the needs of industry and society -- These are all national strategic imperatives that this AI@IMT PhD programme intends to address.
AI@IMT involves 50% ANR (French National Research Agency) funding for of 20 theses within the framework of the national AI research programme, which makes it one of the largest programmes funded within this framework. The first 10 topics were selected by the steering committee, composed of 4 academics and 4 private research actors.
AI@IMT also involves the participation of the Institut Mines-Télécom Business School, Mines Saint-Étienne and IMT Nord Europe, as well as TeraLab, an acceleration platform for research, innovation and education in AI and Big Data.
