Project description
Transforming the landscape of AI leadership
In the dynamic realm of AI, the scarcity of competent scientific leaders poses a significant challenge. The ever-expanding horizons of AI create a need for professionals with interdisciplinary and innovative thinking skills to effectively leverage the emerging opportunities in the field. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the RAMON LLULL project is developing a transformative solution. Offering 33 three-year fellowships, the project aims to cultivate researchers into adept leaders through interdisciplinary R&D projects. Supported by the Catalan government and guided by the principles of open science, this initiative promises to elevate the Catalan R&D ecosystem, paving the way for a transformative future in AI.
Objective
The Ramon Llull-AIRA Postdoctoral Programme (RAMON LLULL) is an international postdoctoral programme offering 33 three-year fellowships to train researchers in the outstanding R&D Institutions in artificial intelligence (AI) in Catalonia to become competent scientific leaders in different scientific disciplines within AI by promoting challenging interdisciplinary R&D projects.
The programme is led by the Computer Vision Centre (CVC-CERCA), holder of the current Artificial Intelligence Research Alliance, AIRA, the axis for knowledge generation within the current Catalan Strategy for AI (Catalonia.ai). CVC-CERCA is acting as beneficiary, together with AIRA partner institutions (IIIA-CSIC, BSC, IDEAI-UPC, IRII-CSIC-UPC) and 8 further outstanding research institutions in Artificial Intelligence (AI): UAB, UPF, UdG, URL, URV, Eurecat, i2Cat, IJC-CERCA (5 Universities, 2 Technology Centres and 1 Clinical Research Institution), which will participate as Implementing Partners for the recruitment, hosting & training of the ER fellows.
The Programme is created with the explicit encouragement and direct support from the Catalan Government committing to support the activities of the Programme through AIRA Initiative.
RAMON LLULL Programme will contribute to boost career perspectives of researchers with outstanding academic quality from a three-dimensional perspective: Excellent Human Centred AI Research; Leadership; and Interdisciplinary Research with other top R&D intensive institutions and companies.
The programme will provide a new dimension for the Catalan R&D ecosystem in AI through highly interdisciplinary and intersectoral fundamental research while fulfilling all the principles of Open Science and maintaining the highest research quality standards. It is aimed to optimise the capacity of the Catalan AI ecosystem by recruiting, hosting and training researchers in AI R&I Institutions in Catalonia with the ambition to become competent scientific leaders in different AI disciplines.
