Later today, the UK and France are to sign a five year agreement to deepen collaboration between two of the countries’ leading digital research centres.
The Alan Turing Institute, is signing an agreement with the French institute, DATAIA, to promote collaboration between the French and British sectors.
It will see the two organisations pursue collaborative research in areas of shared interest – for example, in fairness and transparency in the design and implementation of algorithms.
They will also work together to share expertise, paving the way for visiting researchers to spend time at each Institute and hosting joint workshops and funding calls.
At the UK-France Digital Colloque – a summit of more than 350 businesses, researchers and officials from both countries – UK digital minister Matt Hancock (pictured) and his French counterpart Mounir Majoubi will also sign an accord extending their cooperation in the digital sector – on innovation, artificial intelligence, data and digital administration.
Hancock will confirm that London-based Entrepreneur First is to open a Paris office.
