AIRON Regional Groups bring together research professionals and institutions across different parts of the world to explore how artificial intelligence is transforming research operations and the wider research and innovation ecosystem.
Research organisations face many shared opportunities and challenges, but their experiences, resources and approaches to AI adoption often differ across countries and regions.
Our Regional Groups create opportunities to exchange knowledge, share practical experiences and explore these different perspectives, supporting responsible AI adoption and professional learning across diverse research environments.
AIRON Ambassadors help connect professionals, encourage participation and facilitate regional discussions, events and collaborative activities.
By bringing local insights into AIRON’s international community, Regional Groups contribute to shared understanding, stronger professional connections and collective knowledge that benefits the wider research sector.

Connecting Regions, Sharing Knowledge
Local insights. International collaboration. Shared learning.
AIRON Regional Groups provide a space for professionals to explore regional developments, exchange experiences and learn from approaches adopted in different research environments.
Working alongside AIRON’s Thematic Groups, they help connect regional perspectives with wider discussions on AI, research organisations, governance, funding and the future of research.
Through knowledge exchange, community activities and contributions to AIRON initiatives, Regional Groups can help identify emerging challenges, share practical approaches and inform our collective understanding of AI-driven change.
