For the second time, the network of excellence ELSA - European Lighthouse on Secure and Safe AI is calling on up-and-coming start-ups and small and medium-sized enterprises to collaborate with ELSA's top experts in the field of secure and safe artificial intelligence and receive up to 60,000 euros in funding from the European Union. Applications are open until September 15, 2024.
Following a successful first call last year, ELSA is once again looking for small and medium-sized enterprises and start-ups that want to develop secure AI applications and cooperate with the Network of Excellence in the categories "Methodology", "Software/Tools" and "Benchmarks". The focus is on the use cases addressed in the ELSA research programs: health, autonomous driving, robotics, cyber security, multimedia and document intelligence. However, all proposals that tackle high-impact social and economic challenges with the help of machine learning will also be considered. This includes, in particular, projects that deal with new developments such as large language models and foundation models.
Seven selected companies will have the opportunity to participate in a six-month program after completing the application process and will receive:
• Up to € 60,000 (lump sum) funding from the EU for the development of AI/machine learning applications
• Visibility via ELSA's website and social media channels as well as the opportunity to network in the ELSA and ELLIS community
