In December 2024, 14 projects were selected in the ‘ASPIRE for Top Scientists’ category under the ASPIRE programme of the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST). This programme supports each of the projects with up to €3 million over 5 years.

Among them is the project in the ‘Artificial Intelligence/Information’ section entitled ‘Building Mathematical Foundation for Cyber-Physical Dynamical Systems: Interdisciplinary Research and Human Resource Development on Control with Prediction and Learning’, led by Yoshio Ebihara, professor at Kyushu University, in collaboration with Dmitry Peaucelle, CNRS research director in our ‘Methods and Algorithms in Control’ team, representing the GDR MACS.

This project concerns control with prediction and learning for cyber-physical systems, a rapidly evolving field combining robust automatic control and artificial intelligence. The ambition is to structure an international network of expert scientists in this field. The Japanese teams involved are those of Yoshio Ebihara at Kyushu University, Hideaki Ishii, professor at Tokyo University and Masaaki Nagahara, professor at Hiroshima University. In France, all the member teams of the GDR MACS are eligible, including those from LAAS-CNRS.
