At dAIEDGE, we are committed to building a robust and dynamic European ecosystem for cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence (AI). Under the umbrella of the European Lighthouse for AI, our aim is to strengthen Europe’s capabilities in advanced AI, foster collaboration among key stakeholders, and assist the European Commission (EC) and the European Union (EU) in identifying strategies for future development.
To advance our mission, we partnered with FundingBox to launch our first Open Calls. Through our Exchange Programme, we provide funding for mobility and living costs for researchers and PhD students, enabling them to spend six months at one of our Host Institutions. During this time, participants will embark on collaborative research projects, driving significant advancements in AI at the Edge.
- Impact and Outcomes
The enthusiasm and interest generated by this initiative exceeded all expectations. Thanks to activities such as webinars and outreach events, we received 146 applications from researchers worldwide, highlighting the global appeal of our programme. From among these, 36 complete proposals were submitted, representing 21 countries.
Countries with the highest number of applications included Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Greece, demonstrating the strength of the research community in these regions. As a result, we will select 10 researchers and PhD students to collaborate on our projects.
We extend special thanks to all participants who contributed their time, ideas, and enthusiasm to this initiative.
- New Open Calls in January
With this momentum, we are thrilled to announce the launch of our second Open Call on 10 January. We invite researchers, students, and key players in the AI ecosystem to stay updated with our latest news and seize this opportunity to contribute to the development of AI at the Edge.
