European Network of AI Excellence Centres
ELISE is a network of artificial intelligence research hubs. Based on the highest level research, it spreads its knowledge and methods in academia, industry and society. The network invites all ways of reasoning, considering all types of data applicable for almost all sectors of science and industry. We do this while being aware of data safety and security, and striving to explainable and trustworthy outcomes. ELISE works in cooperation with ELLIS (European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems). ELISE is part of the EU Horizon 2020 ICT-48 portfolio, and is coordinated by Aalto University.
Exchanging ideas face-to-face, getting to know new research environments and initiating collaborations are crucial for scientific excellence and innovative research in the cutting-edge field of modern AI.
To foster exchange among scientists in Europe, several projects building on ELLIS like the EU-funded projects ELISE, ELSA and ELIAS, and the graduate school ELIZA support junior researchers like ELLIS PhD students and senior researchers with mobility grants.
The ELLIS Program ‘Machine Learning for Molecule Discovery’ works at the intersection of machine learning and molecular science in Europe. It focuses on establishing a dialogue between domain experts and machine learning researchers to ensure that machine learning positively impacts real world scenarios.
From the “ELLIS/ELISE AI for Learning Weather and Climate” workshop, Gustau Camps-Valls, Co-Director of the ELLIS Program ‘Machine Learning for Earth and Climate Sciences’, highlights the crucial role of Artificial Intelligence in addressing climate change.
ELISE builds and executes a European Strategic Research Agenda in AI.
ELISE implements and supports the pan-European ELLIS PhD & Postdoc Program
ELISE runs a mobility programme for experienced researchers.
ELISE increases innovations by providing expertise and networking to industrial actors.
