Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo: Bando "Intelligenza 14 Artificiale"

The Compagnia di San Paolo and the CDP Foundation are promoting the second edition of the Call dedicated to Artificial Intelligence with the aim of supporting innovative research projects, aimed at advancing scientific knowledge in the field of AI, with a concrete impact on territory in economic and social terms. The commitment to a topic of great importance such as that of Artificial Intelligence is reflected in the European agenda, in programs such as the Digital Europe Program, Horizon Europe and Next Generation EU. The Call intends to investigate the opportunities offered by AI in four areas:

• Health and wellness;
• Environment and green transition;
• Risk protection and insurance;
• Education and training.

The goal is to stimulate reflection and planning oriented towards pilot projects capable of using AI in the four identified areas. The applications of the projects will have the general objective of responding to needs expressed by the territories, with the aim of bringing significant benefits to the community both in economic and above all social terms. The project proposals, therefore, must be able to collect data and process analyzes on the territory, experiment with innovative solutions and encourage collaboration between universities, research bodies, companies and the third sector.

The following can participate in the call:

• Lead partner: departmental structures of the five universities affiliated with the Compagnia di San Paolo (University of Turin and Polytechnic University, Eastern Piedmont University, University of Genoa and Federico II University of Naples);
• Research and development partners: Universities and national and international public and private non-profit research bodies;
• Territorial partner: entities and companies based in Italy;
• Assessment body: bodies with proven expertise and experience in evaluating the impact of projects;
• Leaders and research and development partners must possess the subjective eligibility requirements pursuant to the Statute, the Regulations for Institutional Activities and the Application Lines of the Regulations for Institutional Activities of the Compagnia di San Paolo;
• The Instrumental Bodies of the Compagnia di San Paolo can participate in the Call exclusively in the role of territorial partner or evaluation body.

The submission of projects by partnerships composed of at least 7 subjects is required: a leader, an evaluation body, two research and development partners and at least two territorial partners. Deadline: May 2022
