Research Network

The 468 labs and institutions that form the Research Network are committed to working together towards realising the vision: European excellence across all of AI, for all of Europe, with a human-centred focus. 341 of these have recently become members of the association and many more are currently making this transitioning. 

Over 26,000 people work for the groups and institutions that form the Research Network in 38 countries (properly accounting for overlap between groups).

Member Benefits

To join the CAIRNE Research Network, first sign your support for CAIRNE, and then contact us at network@cairne.eu to request the application form.

To apply, we require that the lab, research group or institution be part of a not-for profit organisation that conducts research in AI, and regularly publishes that research, and have its own working website (not that of a larger entity of which it is part).

For for-profit organisations please see the page on the Innovation Network.
