Advancing AI and Data Science across science, the economy and society

Hi! PARIS brings together researchers in artificial intelligence, data science, mathematics, social sciences and management. This interdisciplinary community leads pioneering research at the intersection of science, the economy and society, combining fundamental advances with applications that address technological, industrial and societal challenges.

Founded by Institut Polytechnique de Paris and HEC Paris, in partnership with Inria (Centre Inria de Saclay), and now part of a broader academic ecosystem including CNRS and Université de Technologie de Troyes, Hi! PARIS supports collaboration across disciplines, institutions and research communities.

From 2020 to 2029, the Center will have invested €40 million in research to support scientific excellence, talent development and high-impact AI projects.

An interdisciplinary community of outstanding scientists, who lead pioneering research on AI and data science to develop a strategic vision for economic and public decision makers in France and Europe.

Hi! PARIS brings together leading researchers in AI, data science, mathematics, social sciences and management. Its interdisciplinary research connects scientific advances with real-world applications and explores how AI transforms business, public decision-making and society. By bringing together researchers, students, engineers, companies and public stakeholders, the Center supports rigorous and impactful AI.
