ELISE
About
ELISE is part of the EU Horizon 2020 ICT-48 portfolio and originated from ELLIS, a network of artificial intelligence research hubs and associated Fellows. Based on the highest level research, it spreads its knowledge and methods in academia, industry and society. The network invites all ways of reasoning, considering all types of data applicable for almost all sectors of science and industry. We do this while being aware of data safety and security, and striving to explainable and trustworthy outcomes. ELISE contributes to the European AI and the ELLIS community on many fronts, e.g. through mobility programs, research program workshops, company collaboration, and policy work.

Mobility Programs
ELISE has a travel fund to stimulate collaboration in the ELISE/ELLIS networks, enabling scientists to work with researchers at other sites in the network. Senior researchers can apply for travel funding as part of the Fellows Mobility Program; PhDs and postdocs in the network can benefit from the travel fund through the PhD and Postdoc Mobility Program. More information on how to apply can be found here.
ELISE’s Strategic Research Agenda (SRA)
The Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) published by ELISE is setting out a roadmap for creating trustworthy AI technologies in Europe based on strengthening technical capabilities, improving performance in deployment, and aligning with social interests. Core areas of the agenda are: security and privacy, explainable and transparent AI, trustworthiness and AI certification, AI integration across systems, and AI ethics and societal impact. These themes connect the growing pool of research programmes supported through ELISE and ELLIS. The agenda reflects an opportunity to create a new wave of European AI research that drives innovations in machine learning theory, methods, and applications to create AI technologies that can benefit people and society. ELISE is now asking for your feedback! If you have any suggestions for the future development of the Strategic Research Agenda, please use the form on the ELISE website to submit your proposals.
