Flanders AI Research Program

The Flanders AI Research Program stands for strategic basic research into artificial intelligence, based on the needs and demands of companies, organizations, the government, and citizens.

In this way, we contribute to a sustainable and prosperous human-centered digital future in Flanders, as well to economic growth and innovation in our region. All our research is also aligned with the European ambition and strategies for AI and the digital agenda for 2030.
