Europe has great talent in excellent Universities and higher education institutions that needs to be nurtured and exploited. It is essential to reinforce and build on European assets in AI, including its world-class researcher community, in order to stay at the forefront of AI developments.
All ICT-48 networks (AI4Media, ELISE, HumanE-AI NET, TAILOR) and the VISION consortium joined forces and, under the joint initiative of VISION and AI4Media, founded a new joint instrument to support world-level AI education and research programme.
The International AI Doctoral Academy (AIDA) has been created for offering access to knowledge and expertise and attracting PhD talents in Europe.
AIDA, intends to foster that talent providing the opportunity to contribute to the competitiveness of the AI made in Europe, by fostering cooperation among the best research teams in Europe, joining forces to tackle more efficiently major scientific and technological challenges in AI hampering deployment of AI-based solutions.
AIDA aims to become a truly international reference portal for any AI PhD student and researcher.
