AIR Institute

Spain: Castile and Leon

Overview

The AIR Institute (https://air-institute.org) is a non-profit research organization, aimed at the promotion and development of scientific research in the field of computer science and artificial intelligence. The AIR Institute comprises a multidisciplinary team of researchers who work to promote innovation in the field of information technology, computer science, artificial intelligence and information and communication technologies (ICT).

The AIR Institute has highly qualified personnel as a result of their participation in different national and international projects, providing valuable experience in many technologies, such as: the use of distributed ledger technologies and/or blockchain and cryptocurrencies, the use of virtual organizations for the design of social computing systems, fog/edge computing mechanisms, development of applications and different types of Cloud platforms, use of natural language processing (NLP) techniques and information extraction, sentiment analysis and other mechanisms…

The AIR Institute is legally constituted in Carbajosa de la Sagrada (Salamanca, Spain) and is equipped with the latest technologies focused on intelligent systems and sensing technologies. It includes IoT/smart grid resources with a smart-grid mock-up and many Raspberry Pi, Arduino, ibeacons, ZigBee, RFID tags, health sensors, etc., as well as prototyping equipment that is used in the different projects.

The main research facilities are established in Béjar (Salamanca) where the Institute also coordinates an entrepreneurship ecosystem, while the AIR Institute is also installed in the Scientific Park of the University of Valladolid (Spain).

 

 
. The AIR Institute provides research, development (including prototyping) and training services in the following topics: 

Blockchain

The AIR Institute investigates different Distributed Ledger Technologies and their applications, which range from the establishment of smart contracts for traceability in the agro-food industry to the development of cryptocurrencies for the peer-to-peer exchange of energy.

Cybersecurity

Air Institute advises companies to increase their protection against cyber attacks. It carries out complete security audits: Code, Web, Mobile, Blockchain, Malware Analysis, Ethical Hacking, etc. It also offers training in good security practices for company managers and employees.

Deep learning

The AIR Institute studies and employs deep neural networks in  different data learning tasks, for example, for the detection of similar objects in images, health complications prediction, or development of robots that react to human emotions.
