Confederation of Laboratories for Artificial Intelligence Research in Europe

The Confederation of Laboratories for Artificial Intelligence Research in Europe (CLAIRE)[1][2] is a European organisation, created to strengthen artificial intelligence (AI) and human-centred AI research and innovation, in Europe.

CLAIRE is referred to as the world's largest network for artificial intelligence research.

[17] CLAIRE is also actively liaising, on an ongoing basis, with other important organisations, including ELLIS, the HumanE AI, the Big Data Value Association, euRobotics, AI4EU, the Association for the Understanding of Artificial Intelligence, several European Union funded projects, and cooperates closely with ESA.

[19] The Innovation Network, launched in 2021, comprises companies, legal entities, and groups or units within these companies that develop or use Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods or technologies (for-profit), and consists of 12 members from 6 countries across Europe.

On 30 September 2021, Prof. Holger Hoos, chair of the Board of Directors of CLAIRE, accepted on behalf of CLAIRE the Innovation Award for ground-breaking achievements in the research and development of AI, together with the European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems (ELLIS).
