The Institut de la Francophonie pour l'Informatique (IFI), French for the "Computer Science Institute for the Francophonie", is a graduate school in computer science in Vietnam. It was created and funded by the Agence universitaire de la Francophonie (AUF, or Association of Universities of the Francophonie) in 1995 following a request from Vietnamese government of the training of high-level Vietnamese engineers and college professors in computer science. The countries and regions funding the project are Belgium-Wallonia, Canada-Québec, France, French-speaking Switzerland and Luxembourg.

IFI recruits its students in Vietnam and other French-speaking countries. Annually, professors at the member universities of the AUF (such as ENST Paris, Université catholique de Louvain, UQAM...) come to IFI to give lectures. All courses are delivered in French.

Usually, the final internship then takes place abroad (Europe or Canada) either in industries, in universities or in research laboratories. The internships by research are often used as a bridge towards a PhD. The industrial internships are taken by those which seek the profile of a project leader in software development.

IFI is considered as one of the best graduate schools in computer science in Vietnam. About one third of its students continue their PhD in foreign universities, many become professors or founders of software companies in Vietnam.
