The Artificial Intelligence Research Alliance (AIRA) is a structure to promote synergies and collaboration between groups, institutes, universities and research centres specialising in artificial intelligence, to promote joint activity on a national and international scale and establish a shared perspective for priority objectives concerning this area in Catalonia.

AIRA has been established as a place for cooperative work, where institutes, research centres and the infrastructure concerning artificial intelligence located in Catalonia can develop a coordinated strategy to promote scientific research, manage talent and accelerate the development of solutions based on artificial intelligence in Catalonia.

AIRA is open to any institution carrying out research into artificial intelligence that achieves high levels of excellence in this field, to foster the Catalan research ecosystem, identify areas of research and innovative solutions, and promote the generation, validation and transfer of scientific research into artificial intelligence and its associated talent.

AIRA's Technical Secretary is coordinated by the Computer Vision Center (CVC).
