RESEARCH FORUM
Friday, November 27, 2026
9:00 AM - 4:00 PM
Inria Center of Université Côte d'Azur
Room Euler Bleu and online
This day is dedicated to the presentation of 10 research projects supported in 2025 and 2026 by the RISE Academy.
Across the presentations, participants will have the opportunity to explore a wide range of topics at the intersection of digital technology, artificial intelligence, the humanities and social sciences, mathematics, and life sciences.
The programme will cover a variety of subjects, including understanding human-machine interactions, examining the impact of AI on learning, detecting problematic online behaviour, and leveraging digital tools to combat financial fraud and advance research in health and environmental sciences.
It will be an opportunity to discover the diversity of the projects, exchange ideas on their findings, and foster connections across the scientific community. The presentations will be conducted in English and French.
This event is open to all the community members of Université Côte d'Azur. The PhD students from ED STIC will be entitled to 5h30 of formation for attending the day.
