ELLIS – European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems – is a pan-European AI network of excellence which focuses on fundamental science, technical innovation and societal impact. Founded in 2018, ELLIS builds upon machine learning as the driver for modern AI and aims to secure Europe’s sovereignty in this competitive field by creating a multi-centric AI research laboratory.
EPFL hosts one of the first such ELLIS units in synergy with the EPFL AI Center.
Hosted within the EPFL AI Center, the Lausanne unit reaches out to diverse application domains such as machine learning, robotics, health, biomedicine and many more.
