• CPER “data” (2015-2020): This project is jointly supported by the government together with the region. The Advanced Data Science and Technology (Data) CPER project aims to conduct a research program on data intelligence at a high international level in a strong synergy with the regional economic fabric and to set up a research infrastructure in line with the associated challenges. It focuses on three areas of research: Internet of Things, Intelligence of Data and Knowledge, High Performance Computing (HPC) and Optimization, and four main levers: (i) research infrastructure, (ii) attractiveness - particularly researchers from EPST, (iii) demonstrators, (iv) Transfer for innovation to SMEs.
