The Confederation of Laboratories for Artificial Intelligence Research in Europe (CLAIRE)[1][2] is a European organisation, created to strengthen artificial intelligence (AI) and human-centred AI research and innovation, in Europe. CLAIRE is referred to as the world’s largest network for artificial intelligence research.[3]

CLAIRE was launched in 2018, with a vision document signed by over 550 experts in AI.[4][5][6][7][8] The founders of CLAIRE are Holger Hoos, Philipp Slusallek and Morten Irgens. CLAIRE aims to establish a network of Centres of Excellence in AI, across all of Europe, and a European AI Hub (or "Lighthouse Centre"), a new, central facility with state-of-the-art infrastructure similar to CERN.[9][10][11]

As of July 2020, CLAIRE's membership network consisted of over 381 research groups and research institutions, covering jointly more than 21 000 employees in 35 countries, and 3512 individual supporters have signed the CLAIRE vision, including 2028 AI experts, 104 Fellows of the European Association for Artificial Intelligence (EurAI), 20 Fellows and 9 presidents (former and current) of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI), the key international association for AI, 5 former presidents of International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI), and 22 Fellows of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).[12]
