IIAP NAS RA Joins the Francophone University Agency (AUF)





The Institute for Informatics and Automation Problems of the National Academy of Science of Armenia  (IIAP) is now an official member of the esteemed Francophone University Agency (AUF - L’Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie). During a ceremony at IIAP, Madame Laure Castin, AUF’s Regional Director for Central and Eastern Europe, presented the membership certificate, marking the beginning of a promising partnership. This membership will facilitate increased collaboration, research opportunities, and academic exchange within the global Francophone community.

IIAP has a rich history of fruitful cooperation with French institutions, particularly with IRIT (Institut de Recherche en Informatique de Toulouse). Notable collaborations include Erasmus projects and joint initiatives, such as the creation of the Armenian National Supercomputer Center (ANSCC), supported by IRIT and ATOS.

This new partnership with AUF reinforces IIAP's dedication to promoting innovation, fostering knowledge exchange, and strengthening academic ties with the Francophone world. IIAP is committed to contributing to and eager to benefit from this dynamic international network, furthering its research excellence and global collaboration.
