CHIST-ERA is looking for transformative and highly multidisciplinary research projects. They should explore new ideas with potential for significant scientific and technical impacts in the long term. Each year, CHIST-ERA launches a call for research proposals in two new topics of emergent scientific importance (the list of past call topics is available HERE). In the Call 2019, two separate topics are addressed, namely:
Explainable Machine Learning-based Artificial Intelligence (XAI) Novel Computational Approaches for Environmental Sustainability (CES) |
The official Call Announcement is available below as attachment.
Deadline for full proposal submission: 2nd of July 2020, 17:00 CET |
A two-step submission process applies. Applicants are invited to submit a short proposal and, if selected in the first step, to submit a full proposal. The submission deadline for the full proposal will be communicated together with the outcome of the first step. At both stages of the application, the coordinator prepares a joint proposal (short proposal or full proposal) for the whole consortium, using the template available below as attachment. The form is submitted using the electronic submission system, along with a financial table following the template also available below and administrative project data entered directly in the system.
Electronic Submission System: https://aap.agencerecherche.fr/_layouts/15/SIM/Pages/SIMNouveauProjet.aspx?idAAP=1574
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 your own EoI.
Moreover, to receive call updates, please subscribe to the CHIST-ERA Call 2019 newsletter by clicking HERE.
Information webinars are planned on December 18, 2019, and February 5, 2020 to present the call to potential applicants (click on the corresponding date to register).
For projects selected for funding, each partner of the consortium will be funded separately by their respective national/regional research funding organisation. Therefore all national/regional regulations apply. Eligibility regulations for each funding organisation (or links to them) are given in the annex of the Call Announcement. Additionally, each principaI investigator, not just the coordinator, can contact the respective funding organisation contact point sufficiently prior to submission regarding eligibility issues.
A summary table of the countries and funding organisations participating in each topic is provided below.
