Europe’ s largest AI campus to launch in the Paris region
A landmark joint venture was announced at the Choose France Summit to build Europe’ s largest AI Campus in the Paris region. The initiative brings together Bpifrance, UAE’ s MGX investment fund, Generative AI leader, Mistral AI, and global computing giant NVIDIA.
The project follows AI cooperation agreements endorsed by UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and French President Emmanuel Macron at the AI Action Summit in February. The Campus is expected to eventually reach a capacity of 1.4 GW.
Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, said:“ The AI Campus will be a transformational infrastructure for France – built in France, to fuel France in the era of AI. It will revolutionise science, education and industry.”
Located in Europe’ s top economic zone, the AI Campus aims to develop sovereign, sustainable, and competitive AI infrastructure. It will support the entire AI lifecycle – from training to deployment – across sectors such as healthcare, energy, mobility, and finance.
The signing ceremony was attended by French Minister Eric Lombard and UAE’ s Khaldoon Al Mubarak. The Campus will feature advanced infrastructure, sovereign cloud integration, and low-carbon data centres, supporting Europe’ s digital and climate goals while fostering innovation and industrial leadership in AI.
Students are more engaged when learning how engineers tackle environmental problems
E ngineeringUK has published a new evaluation report offering insights into how environmental sustainability can be meaningfully embedded in STEM outreach. Based on findings from programmes such as The Big Bang Fair, Energy Quest and Climate Schools Programme, the report identifies key lessons for designing impactful content.
As the UK advances towards net zero, demand for green skills is rising. The report shows how sustainability themes not only engage students, but also enhance their understanding of engineering and technology’ s role in solving global challenges.
The report also explores barriers such as limited school time and budgets, offering practical advice for outreach providers. With climate change high on the agenda, the findings are essential reading for organisations looking to make a meaningful difference in their STEM outreach programmes and activities.
Key findings include:
• Students are more engaged when learning how engineers tackle environmental problems
• Repeated exposure to environmental sustainability themes is crucial for long-term impact
• Schools prefer resources that link to the curriculum and existing green initiative
• Content must be updated regularly to reflect new careers, policies and discoveries
