// Collaborative and scientific projects

Hi! PARIS offers support and funding for collaborative and scientific projects to researchers of HEC Paris, Institut Polytechnique de Paris and Inria Saclay (Inria Center of IP Paris). The program covers fundamental methods for AI and data analytics as well as business applications across all sectors and implications for society.
