ELISE Fellows Mobility Program - travel grants for experienced researchers

Innovation stems from the continuous cross-fertilization of ideas.  The goal of the ELISE Mobility program is to bring ELISE/ELLIS Fellows, Scholars, and Members together by supporting their short and long-term scientific visits to initiate collaboration within the ELISE/ELLIS community.

The mobility program is open to experienced researchers from ELISE Beneficiaries, ELISE Associated Partners as well as to external experienced researchers from organizations outside the ELISE/ELLIS network as long as the visit contributes to the ELISE project or to synergies with the other ICT48 networks.

ELISE & HumaneAINet - Joint call for projects

ELISE and HumaneAINet offer a possibility for experienced researchers to apply with a joint project. Project proposals should have a small setup in which 1 or more researchers are financed through HumaneAI micro-project funds and one or more through the ELISE Fellow mobility program, specifically under the ELLIS programs, Human-centric Machine Learning and Semantic, Symbolic and Interpretable Machine Learning, though potentially drawing on other ELLIS programs as well. The team is expected to work together to produce a paper, dataset, or proof of concept system, preferably co-located or at least partially co-located.

Eligible application period:
June 2022 – July 31, 2023
Duration of the project: 6 months maximum
Eligibility rules: For ELISE researchers, ELISE Fellow Mobility Program rules apply - please see above for more details. For HumaneAINet researchers, rules governing the implementation of micro projects apply. Applications should be made to both networks using the same title and description and referencing that the request falls under the joint ELISE/Humane AI call.
Additional details: Available in the full ELISE & HumaneAINet Joint call. Interested researchers are encouraged to read the call requirements carefully and apply as soon as possible. The funding is distributed on a ‘first come first served’ basis until the travel funds run out. If you have any queries concerning the call, please contact <elise-travel@ciirc.cvut.cz>.
