Call for Micro-projects relating to Understanding (and explaining) AI

    12 February 2024

    TAIGA's focus area 'Understanding (and explaining) AI' focuses on theoretical and practical strategies to produce and promote better understanding of AI system across different stakeholders, including the general public and policymakers. Researchers at Umeå University are invited to apply for funding for small, short projects related to the fields of interest of the focus area. Last day to apply is March 15, 2024.

    Projects that involve transdisciplinary collaboration, including but not exclusively involving areas represented in TAIGA, are particularly encouraged. Projects will be evaluated in terms of their fit to the focus area, their scientific interest, feasibility, and transdisciplinarity.

    Total funding available amounts to SEK 100.000 (including overhead), which may have to be divided between more than one project. For this reason, please state in the application both the desired budget and a minimal budget for the micro-project. The funds can be used to cover research time, equipment, travel, and guest speakers.

    The funds need to be used during year 2024 and project results be reported by the end of January 2025.

    To apply, please send the attached document to the focus area coordinator, Dimitri Coelho Mollo, by March 15, 2024.
