The CHIST-ERA Call 2019, to be published in December 2019, will target research in the following topics:

Explainable Machine Learning-based Artificial Intelligence (XAI)

Novel Computational Approaches for Environmental Sustainability (CES)

The details of the research targeted in the call have been defined by the research community during the CHIST-ERA Conference 2019, an event that was open to all interested researchers.

The present Call 2019 Pre-announcement (see attached document below) gives an overview of the research themes that have emerged during the conference (see p. 3 & 4).

Researchers are encouraged to start discussing possible projects with prospective partners. The call will require that projects are submitted by international consortia with eligible and independent partners in at least three participating countries (including minimum two EU Member States and EU Associated Countries). Additional partners from other countries may be part of a consortium if they can secure their own funding.

Note that a two-step submission and evaluation process will be used.

Anticipated short proposal submission deadline: 14th of February 2020

Besides, we provide a Partner Search Tool to find partners, by consulting the list of the so-called Expressions of Interest (EoI) and/or by submitting their own EoI.

Moreover, to receive call updates, please subscribe to the CHIST-ERA Call 2019 newsletter by clicking HERE.
