New edition of IFT–IAIFI exchange program on academic visits


The main goal of the program is to foster synergies between the two Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) groups and help stimulate further activities in the future.

In memory of César Gómez López

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear colleague Professor César Gómez, yesterday afternoon in Madrid.
This is a day of profound sadness for all of us. César was a founding member of our institute and one of the driving forces behind its creation, from its very beginnings.
