PhD 2024

Context

The MAIA (Mastery of AI Applications) project aims to develop original and generic research solutions to advance the formal applicability and societal acceptability of AI, with a focus on three key areas: health, the chemistry and environment of the A2U alliance (University of Artois, University Picardie Jules Vernes (UPJV) and Université of Littoral Côte d'Opale(ULCO)) as well as the Hauts de France region (HdF)

Among the recurring (annual) calls of the project is that concerning the co-financing of theses (50%)

Criteria

This call will be open on a recurring basis (annual) to researchers and teacher-researchers of the A2U alliance working in one of the 5 axes of the MAIA project: explainable AI (XAI), acceptable AI (SHS question), application of AI in health, chemistry and environment. It will aim to strengthen existing interactions between MAIA partner laboratories and to promote new ones (in particular, in an interdisciplinary approach). Priority will therefore be given to collaborative projects integrating several teams or laboratories, or an external establishment (community, company, etc.)

Following the call for projects launched at the end of 2023, the MAIA project will co-finance 6 theses for the year 2024.

Topics selected for the year 2024

Acceptability of AI in health: effects of applications and connected objects in health integrating AI on the professional activity of caregivers and on the patient-caregiver relationship.
