Apply for seed-funding through AI Lund Initiatives

Next deadline:  15 May 2024

The idea behind the AI Lund Initiative is to use minimal bureaucracy and rapid decision-making processes to stimulate small projects within research, education, and external engagement with budgets in the range of SEK 20,000–70,000. The project that you apply for should benefit a broad section of the AI Lund community. We prioritise ideas which will benefit many in the AI Lund community.

Examples of initiatives

  • writing a research application  
  • organising a workshop or a “hackathon”  
  • arranging a public meeting
  • formulating a proposal for a MOOC in order to apply for funding from another source  

On going initiatives (2024):

  • Collecting Data for Developing Precision AI for Mental Health
    Zhuojun Gu, PhD candidate at the Department of Psychology
  • Shaping our future discussions with the Microscope
    Nils Norlin, Lund University Bioimaging Center
  • Maintaining and Further Developing the Text-Package
    Oscar Kjell, Docent at the Department of Psychology

You can apply for funding for:

  • working hours by Lund University staff  
  • premises and refreshments  
  • equipment or calculation capacity  
  • communication with AI Lund’s external and internal target audiences  
  • other expenses
