Paris AI Summer School 2027
Ten days in central Paris to master AI for business, visit the French AI ecosystem and live the city: Louvre, Eiffel Tower, Seine, Montmartre, Versailles and Disneyland Paris. Taught in English, March to August 2027.
Learn AI for business in Paris, and live the city
Ten immersive days in central Paris: four applied AI modules over five teaching days, two visits inside the French AI ecosystem, a real business challenge, and the Paris everyone dreams of — the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, the Seine, Montmartre, the Palace of Versailles and a day at Disneyland Paris.
Six sessions to choose from, March to August
Each session runs for ten days, from Sunday to the Tuesday of the following week, and welcomes up to 30 participants. Universities and schools can also book private dates for their own cohort.

Questions about the Summer School
Do I need to know how to code?
No. The programme is business-first and applied: you work with generative AI, analytics and automation tools without writing code.
In which language is it taught?
Everything is taught in English. A B2 level of English is recommended to take part in labs and the pitch.
Which certificate do I receive?
Every participant who completes the programme receives an AI2 certificate of completion (about 30 hours). It is not academic credit or an RNCP title, unless agreed separately with your institution.
Who can join?
Bachelor’s, Master’s and MBA students, recent graduates and young professionals aged 18 and over. School groups of under-18s can be organised on request with their teachers.
Do I need a visa?
Most non-EU participants need a Schengen short-stay visa. AI2 issues an invitation letter and supports the file; the decision rests with the French authorities. If your visa is refused, amounts paid are refunded minus a €150 administration fee, on proof of refusal.
Where will I stay?
The Premium package includes nine nights in a furnished, shared apartment in central Paris with private or twin rooms. With the Essential package, AI2 shares a shortlist of recommended central options.
Can my university send a group?
