Working, learning and innovatingwith AI in the Hague region.
The Hague Applied AI Campus (HAAI) aims to give a powerful boost to the digital and societal resilience of the Hague region, by making residents, students and workers AI-skilled and by embedding AI responsibly in education, work and society. In a time when AI is fundamentally changing our economy, labour market and society, we are building a regional knowledge infrastructure for applied and responsible use of AI together with mbo, hbo and wo.
A collaboration of
Under the banner of the HAAI Campus, The Hague University of Applied Sciences, ROC Mondriaan, Leiden University and TU Delft work closely together with the municipality of The Hague, regional businesses, innovation hubs and societal organisations.
Why HAAI?
The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is fundamentally changing our society and economy. Residents, professionals, entrepreneurs and students in the Hague region must become AI-skilled. There is a great need for collaboration, coordination and anchoring of initiatives around AI.
HAAI contributes to a society in which AI is used responsibly and practically: to improve work, make learning more accessible, and put innovation at the service of people and organisations.
We do this by bringing together education, government and business in one network. This ensures that AI knowledge and applications are available not only to experts, but to everyone who works with it or encounters it.
HAAI helps the Hague region remain digitally skilled, socially resilient and future-proof.
