VISION4AI Newsletter
| January 2024

Wishing you a happy 2024 year filled with success and achievements! With this newsletter, we bring you an overview of activities related to our European AI Community, namely the European Networks of Excellence Centres in AI & Robotics (NoEs).

NEWS

The TAILOR network has produced a series of videos, based on the major chapters of the TAILOR Handbook of Trustworthy AI. A longer video resumes selected key concepts of Trustworthy AI.

Learn about the progress the ELSA network has made in the first year of its activities in the fields of machine learning towards a secure and trustworthy artificial intelligence.

Organised by CLAIRE, VISION brings you the recording of discussion of representatives of four European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIHs) about their practice focused on Sustainable AI. Learn more about the EDIH Network and their understanding of the Sustainable AI.

Do not miss to visit the euROBIN booth at the European Robotics Forum 2024, that will be held in Rimini, Italy, 13 – 15 March 2024. euROBIN will display cutting-edge robots and organise two workshops on “Transferability in Robotics” and “EuroCore repository – a vehicle for transferability in Robotics”.

UPCOMING EVENTS

AIDA welcomes proposals for both senior and junior lecturers from both outside and within AIDA ranks.
If you want to propose such a lecturer, please fill in this FORM.

Organised by sustAIn.brussels, Enterprise Europe Brussels and CLAIRE.

Registration for remote participation is open until 17 January 2024.

18 – 19 January 2024
Brussels, Belgium

VISION invites you to the first international matchmaking event aimed at supporting collaboration between EDIHs (European Digital Innovation Hubs), industry and researchers. Do not miss this opportunity to create valuable links and synergies with the EDIHs’ ecosystem.

8 February 2024, Amsterdam, the Netherlands

Adra-e invites you to discuss the transformative potential of public-private partnerships in driving AI innovation.

19-23 February 2024, Grenoble, France

The SoRAIM multi-disciplinary winter school combines topics in social robotics, artificial intelligence, and multimedia.

12 – 15 March 2024, Amsterdam

The ELLIS Unit Amsterdam is the host of the ELLIS Winter School on Foundation Models.

OPPORTUNITIES | OPEN CALLS

euROBIN launches its 2nd Open Call for the Technology Exchange Programme to select up to 12 companies of any size, research organisations and academia research institutions.

Now open to researchers outside the ELISE/ELLIS network! The exchange of knowledge and ideas among the experienced researchers through visits and collaborative projects.

A dedicated mobility fund that supports long- and short-term visits in the network! It will act as a reference point for PhD & Postdoc candidates in machine-learning driven fields in Europe and worldwide.

Now open to all European AI researchers! Researchers from a non-TAILOR lab are welcome to visiting a TAILOR lab and vice versa.

Submissions are invited for the 33rd International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, which is planned to be held in Jeju Island, South Korea, 3-9 August 2024.
Full paper submission deadline: 17 January 2024

Hybrid Human-Artificial Intelligence (HHAI) international conference (10-14 June, 2024, Malmö) welcomes contributions about all types of technology, from robots and conversational agents to multi-agent systems and machine learning models. Paper submission deadline: 2 February, 2024

An international AI Quest is calling for students at Irish universities, colleges, institutes, and international students from anywhere to join forces to generate solutions for environmental sustainability using provided data sets. 

The aim of the IEEE SaTML 2024 competition is to find out whether simple prompting and filtering mechanisms can make LLM applications robust to prompt injection and extraction. Submission deadline: 15 January 2024

OUTCOMES | RESULTS

Browse through the available collection of the Joint Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) of the NoEs. Make use also of SRA developed by particular NoEs as well as SRIDA by ADRA – on one spot.

Explore the December list of the most valuable papers that gathers contributions from different TAILOR partners, each providing valuable insights on different topics related to TrustworthyAI.

Access to the main insights and conclusions from AI4Media research and activities. Explore the factsheets and booklets.

To understand what makes a successful industry-academic collaboration, ELISE interviewed several ongoing partnerships in the ELISE network to see how their work has been shaped and enriched by the collaboration.

House of Lords Communications and Digital Select Committee inquiry:
Large language models
. How will large language models develop over the next three years? What are the greatest opportunities and risks?

dAIEDGE will implement three different use cases as pilots on Drone assisted warehouse security monitoring & inspection, AI on the edge for satellite image pre-processing, and High-performance low-power edge and fog technologies for smart cities.


Add your events, open calls, news, AI assets, research, use cases and more to the AI-on-demand platform through the collaboration page and share your work with others.

Connect and Talk to the European AI Community on Mattermost

Mattermost communication platform is a result of the joint effort within the VISION project. The Mattermost installation has been established to provide an effective, moderated and functional communication tool for the facilitation of the cooperation, interactions and knowledge sharing between Europe’s AI networks of excellence (ICT48-NoEs), the AI research community, and other stakeholders across diverse areas of AI.
