Description:
Artificial Intelligence is transforming our economies, societies and industry. Growth in computing power, availability of data and progress in algorithms have turned AI into one of the most strategic technologies of the 21st century. The use of Artificial Intelligence is expected to increase global GDP by close to EUR 13 trillion in the next decade.
The challenge ahead is for the European economy to seize fully and swiftly these opportunities. This is essential to ensure Europe's mid and long term competitiveness with implications for overall welfare. The EU has launched several calls in the Horizon 2020 programme to ensure European businesses are supported in further developing the building blocks of the digital transformation starting with Artificial Intelligence and robotics but also software and photonics technologies.
On 18 November 2019, the European Commission will offer a web-based session to provide information on the following topic for which a call for proposals is currently open:
- ICT-38-2020: Artificial intelligence for manufacturing
The session will focus on the Research and Innovation Actions (RIA) within this topic, for which € 47 million are available in the current call for proposals. The call opened on 9 July 2019 and the deadline to submit proposals is 16 January 2020.
The session will start at 11.00 hours (CET) via Webex, so you can follow it directly with no need to travel anywhere. You can connect to the room and use a landline phone with the dial-in function.
Once you reach the virtual room, you will have the option to join the audioconference by phone. Questions can be asked via the chat functionality. Please take into account that the name you give when you enter the virtual room will be visible to all participants.
