FARI offers the capacity, skills, and knowledge required for advanced research in AI, Data, and Robotics for the Common Good.

We are working to co-create a society where AI, Data, and Robotics could contribute to it. We work on local and international projects that aim at enabling a sustainable transition, starting with our own region of Brussels. So we work in, with and on Brussels as a laboratory and testing ground in a regional, national and International context.

Headquartered in BeCentral, our central team helps build a stronger research and innovation ecosystem in Brussels.
