The DATAIA Institute is launching the 2021 Call for Research Projects to support multidisciplinary research through the full funding of several research projects.
Project proposals should demonstrate how they contribute to the objectives of the DATAIA Institute and in particular to the structuring of the fields of data science and artificial intelligence within Université Paris-Saclay.
All proposals must fit into at least one of the four main challenges of DATAIA and can impact an application domain.
On top of the scientific scope of the DATAIA Institute and after the DATAIA Workshops, the following scientific topics will receive a particular attention:
- Life sciences and AI
- Causal analysis in AI and data science
Terms of submission
Only the laboratories of the partner institutions listed in the financing agreement can be project holders and managers of the allocated funding. Consortia may have partners outside the founding members of DATAIA, but these will not be financed.
The projects that meet the following criteria will receive a particular attention:
- projects hosted by two different institutions (see Appendix 2) and two different laboratories of DATAIA;
- projects involving international partners of DATAIA:
- Alan Turing Institute, UK
- IVADO, Canada
- JST, Japan
- FCAI, Finland
The selected project will benefit from a budget of 240,000 over 36 months, including funding for one to two post-doctoral students.
Deadline for applications: 5 March 2021 at noon (Paris time)
Publication of results: 30 April 2021
In order to promote collaborations between researchers from different scientific fields, the Labex DigiCosme and Institut DATAIA Paris-Saclay are launching a joint call for the funding of a research project.
The goal of this approach is to finance large-scale projects, while creating synergies with other objects of excellence on the plateau.
Terms of submission
On top of the criteria described above, co-funded projects with LabEx DigiCosme must:
- involve at least one laboratory of the LabEx DigiCosme ecosystem;
- fit into at least one of the LabEx DigiCosme challenges (SciLex, ComEx, IID).
The selected project will benefit from a budget of €260,000, including in particular the funding of two theses or a dissertation and two years of post-doctoral or engineering studies.
Deadline for applications: 5 March 2021 at noon (Paris time)
Publication of results: 30 April 2021
