This initiative has seen an impressive growth and acceptance and now comprises more than 470 research laboratories across the continent. CLAIRE has been successfully supporting activities for improving AI research through its interaction with the EU-funded Networks of Excellence TAILORand VISION. CLAIRE participation in the "AI Data Robotics Association" (ADRA) puts it in a strong position for supporting the interest of the AI community viz-a-viz European policy-makers and convey the message that european AI requires sustained investment and efficient technology translation processes.
Since its creation in 2020, the CLAIRE Office in Switzerland has been strongly supported by the ZHAW Centre for Artificial Intelligence (CAI) and the ZHAW Digital Initiative.
