The project addresses the core challenges of designing new techniques to create and control interactive virtual characters, benefiting from opportunities open by the wide availability of emergent technologies in the domains of human digitization and displays, as well as recent progresses of artificial intelligence.

​

CLIPE aspires to train the new generation of researchers in these techniques, looking at the area holistically. The training and research programme is based on a multi-disciplinary and cross-sectoral philosophy, bringing together industry and academia experts and focusing on both technical and transversal skills development.

 

The CLIPE network consists of universities/research centers and industrial partners.

Universities & Research Centres: University of Cyprus; Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya; INRIA; University College London; Trinity College Dublin; Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems; KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm; Ecole Polytechnique; Silversky3d Virtual Reality Technologies Ltd.

​

Industrial Partners: Treedy’s SPRL; Amazon Development Center Germany GmbH; British Broadcasting Corporation.

​

CLIPE started on March 1st, 2020 and will have a four-year duration.
