Continuum

Continuum is an EquipEx+ project led by the CNRS as part of the 4th Programme for Investments in the Future (PIA4).
With a budget of €13.6 million, the project aims to create a collaborative research infrastructure of 30 platforms located throughout France, in order to advance interdisciplinary research between computer science, the humanities and social sciences.
Through Continuum, 37 research teams aim to develop cutting-edge research focused on visualisation, immersion, interaction and collaboration, as well as on human perception, cognition and behaviour in virtual and augmented reality.
Continuum is organised around two main areas:

1. Interdisciplinary research on interaction, in collaboration between computer science, the humanities and social sciences, with the aim of advancing knowledge and solutions in the field of human-centred computing;
2. The deployment of tools and services to meet the needs of numerous scientific fields in terms of access to big data, simulations and virtual/augmented reality experiences (mathematics, physics, biology, engineering, computer science, medicine, psychology, educational science, history, archaeology, sociology, etc.)

Continuum became a National Research Infrastructure in 2023.
