The Network of Excellence dAIEDGE held its General Assembly meeting on September 5^th and 6th, looking back at the achievements of the last 12 months, and preparing the next steps of the network! It’s been two days full of inspiration and breakthroughs in Heraklion, Crete!

The 36 dAIEDGE partners gathered to share achievements and define the roadmap towards our big goal: To make Europe a world leader in AI and data economy!

During this event, we reinforced our strategic partnerships and strengthened our joint commitment to take technological innovation to another level.

A big thank to our partner ICS-FORTH for being exceptional hosts and making this assembly an unforgettable experience.

We continue to move forward together towards a bright future of innovation and growth!

Coordinator: Dr. Alain Pagani

Project Manager : Dr. Mohamed Selim

The 4^th IEEE Workshop On AI Hardware: Test, Reliability And Security (AI-TREATS) held on May 23^th and 24^th 2024 was a great success!

The event, co-located with the 29th IEEE European Test Symposium, explored the recent advances in edge AI under the aspects of security, trust and testing. The workshop gathered many researchers with 15 presented papers, and a keynote by Prof. Yanjing Li (University of Chicago, USA).

On the opening day, Alain Pagani participated to a Panel Discussion about Networks of Excellence on Edge AI in Europe. Together with Mateo Sonza Reorda (Politecnico di Torino Italy, FAIR project) and Ovidiu Vermesan (SINTEF, Norway, EdgeAI project), he could present dAIEDGE  and the main aspects of the Network of Excellence on Edge AI.

The workshop chaired by Annachiara Ruospo (Politecnico di Torino, Italy) and Haralampos Stratigopoulos (Sorbonne Universtié, France) was co-sponsored and co-organised by FAIR, dAIEDGE and EdgeAI

Many thanks to the all participants!
