ELISE’s first Open Call ended on the 1st of July 2021 and the hundreds of applications the open call received have been evaluated for their eligibility for the cascade funding. The funding is provided by the EU-funded European Network of AI Excellence Centres - ELISE, a network of artificial intelligence research hubs where the best European researchers in Machine Learning and AI work together to attract talent, foster research through collaboration, and contribute to the European industry and society.
ELISE Open Calls aim to initiate micro-projects to develop novel services and applications of AI to the challenges defined by the project stakeholders. The Open Calls are one of the tools in the ELISE toolbox contributing towards incorporating SMEs and start-ups into their machine learning ecosystem, facilitating and accelerating a broad uptake of machine learning technologies by SMEs and start-ups, as well as ensuring access to machine learning technologies and expertise. The goal is to address the high-impact societal and economic challenges using machine learning.
