AI Computing Infrastructure Call for Projects 2026-2027 | DIM AI4IDF

The advancement of artificial intelligence research relies on the ability of research teams to access computing resources tailored to their needs.

 

A call open to all four scientific axes of the DIM

Submitted projects may fall under any of the four strategic axes of the AI4IDF scientific program :

  • Machine Learning & Optimization
  • NLP & Human Dialogue
  • Robotics, Motion & Human Interaction

AI for Human Life · Health, Education & Creation
Eligible infrastructures include, but are not limited to: mutualized servers, GPU clusters, high-performance workstations, high-speed storage systems, or dedicated training nodes.


Infrastructure designed for shared access

Projects must demonstrate a clear collaborative dimension and their ability to benefit multiple research teams and end-users.

Applications must be submitted at the scale of a university or a university consortium. The proposed infrastructure must be engineered to support research involving several DIM AI4IDF institutions and, where applicable, their partner organizations.

The proposal must also specify the human resources allocated to manage, maintain, and support the infrastructure over time.
