Four new research proposals have been awarded seed funding 

The RPA Human(e) is pleased to announce the new research projects that have been granted seed funding following the 2020 Call for Applications. After a successful year with the first seed funded teams, four research groups will now be joining our expanding community. Stemming from 4 different countries and 5 faculties at the UvA, the 12 new researchers bring innovative ideas and significant academic experience to the table, in order to address current and prospective societal challenges of artificial intelligence. The RPA thereby confirms its commitment to consolidate an international network oriented towards the development of a more Humane AI, on the basis of an interdisciplinary approach.
