A new opportunity to connect AI with Uruguay's challenges

We're looking for leadership in AI engineering

Three calls for artificial intelligence research

The center connects frontier AI research with national challenges and transfer capacity

Uruguay already has talent, universities, a technology industry and institutional stability. The institute will turn that distributed base into a national network able to research, evaluate and transfer AI with independent technical judgment.

The institute coordinates research and knowledge transfer among universities, government and industry.

Research, transfer, coordination and national impact

  • Research: advance frontier knowledge and expand opportunities for researchers, doctoral candidates and postdoctoral fellows.
  • Transfer: turn scientific results into methods, capabilities, prototypes and knowledge that others can adopt.
  • Coordination: connect universities, government and industry around challenges requiring knowledge and national-scale coordination.
  • National impact: measure value through better decisions, productivity, public services and shared assets.
