The CHIST-ERA Call 2017, to be published in October 2017, will target research in the following topics:
Object recognition and manipulation by robots: Data sharing and experiment reproducibility (ORMR)
Big data and process modelling for smart industry (BDSI)
The details of the research targeted in the call have been defined by the research community during the CHIST-ERA Conference 2017, an event that was open to all interested researchers.
The present Call 2017 Pre-announcement (see attached document below) gives an overview of the research themes that have emerged during the conference (see pages 2 to 3). Note that a two-step evaluation process will be used.
Anticipated pre-proposal submission deadline: 11th of January 2018

Researchers are encouraged to start discussing possible projects with prospective partners. The call will require that projects are submitted by international consortia with partners in at least three participating countries. Additional partners from other countries may be part of a consortium if they can secure their own funding.
Besides, we provide a Partner Search Tool for submitting Expressions of Interest (EoI) by filling-in a webform. All the EoI can be viewed here.
The list of countries and funding organisations which have shown preliminary interest in participating in the Call 2017 is provided below.
