Financing of innovative initiatives 2024

Context

The MAIA (Mastery of AI Applications) project aims to develop original and generic research solutions to advance the formal explainability and societal acceptability of AI, with a focus on three key areas: health, chemistry and the environment of the A2U alliance (University of Artois, UPJV and ULCO) as well as for the Hauts de France region (HdF) Funding innovative research initiatives will be part of the MAIA project's recurring calls.

Frame

This call will be open on a recurring basis (annual) to researchers and teacher-researchers of the A2U alliance working in one of the five axes of the MAIA project: explainable AI (XAI), acceptable AI (SHS question), application of AI in health, chemistry and environment. It is resolutely open to any short-term research and/or valorization action enabling the initiation, development and support of an innovative approach:

  • Development, distribution or commercial valorization of an innovative prototype/software
  • Investment for the development of demonstrator(s)
  • Support for the production/publication/communication of exceptional international visibility
  • Support for an original experimental or data collection activity
  • Support for any other original action promoting the MAIA project
