Latest Projects

All projects

We connect people across disciplines, expertise, and organisations in making science and innovation more accessible and impactful to society.

Community

The FARI community is composed of 300 researchers from the 10 AI, data, and robotics research groups from VUB and ULB, coordinated by our central team and in close collaboration with our various partners.

We are working to co-create a society where AI, Data, and Robotics could contribute to it. We work on local and international projects that aim at enabling a sustainable transition, starting with our own region of Brussels. So we work in, with and on Brussels as a laboratory and testing ground in a regional, national and International context.

We are committed to disseminating our latest research outputs on AI, data, and robotics for the common good.
