Alexander Coleman

Background

In the annual Helmholtz AI project call, funded by the Initiative and Networking Fund (INF), we are looking for 'high risk, high gain' cross-field research projects in applied machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI). Selected projects can get up to €250k in funding from the INF, which has to be at least matched by the participating centers with the same amount (≥€250k). Projects should be completed within two to three years. More details about this year's project call and funded projects can be found on our website.

At this information event you will have the opportunity to learn about the call and ask live questions to the Helmholtz AI projects team. Importantly, you can also use this event to pitch your project ideas or expertise to other Helmholtz researchers.
