Franco-German joint call for proposals on Artificial Intelligence

France and Germany have reaffirmed their desire to create a common artificial intelligence ecosystem in order to set up new collaborative projects. By signing a joint declaration of intent on the creation of an “Artificial Intelligence Research and Innovation Network”, they are working together on the basis of their national strategies to create the best conditions for the emergence of new research and industry cooperation projects.

In the Joint Declaration of Intent between the Ministry for Higher Education and Research of the French Republic and the Federal Ministry for Education and Research in Germany on the Franco-German Research and Innovation Network on AI, both sides have reaffirmed their will to create a common AI ecosystem in order to create new collaborative projects. Together, they will combine their efforts on the basis of their national strategies to create the relevant landscape for new research and industry cooperation projects. The joint network will lead to a better understanding of what is needed in the field of AI. Both governments will jointly introduce their findings to European and international work on AI, on the basis of available information regarding the projects funded (public reports and other dissemination data drafted and published by the partners themselves).

Hence, this bilateral Call for Proposals on AI aims to fund projects promoting high quality research collaborations between France and Germany.
