The AI Champion project is unusually large in scale and brings together a strong consortium of researchers and companies from 13 organizations. The project’s total budget is approximately €20 million. The consortium meets three times a year to share what we’ve developed, tested, and learned. This seminar marks the first time the project’s results will be presented to a wider public audience.
AI Champion Day welcomes everyone to hear about the project’s achievements during our first year and to learn what lies ahead of us.
