ML 2015 - Machine learning on funding of up to 2 million euros

The Romanian Institute of Science and Technology invites applications for research projects to be funded with up to 2 million euros for up to 4 years with European structural funds awarded by the Romanian National Authority for Research and Innovation. The current program will fund projects that will be led by scientists having a PhD and at least 5 years of research experience, out of which at least 3 years of research experience outside Romania (possibly including doctoral or postdoctoral studies). About 50 projects will be funded.
Machine learning and related fields, and especially general artificial intelligence, Bayesian approaches, deep learning, curiosity-based learning, recurrent neural networks, robotic applications, and computational neuroscience are a strategic focus for our institute, although we welcome scientists working in all fields of science. The projects may include basic research and must include a component of applied research or development.
Scientists are invited to send us an expression of interest at office-AT-rist.ro by June 25, 2015, including a brief abstract of the project, a CV and a list of publications, or links to webpages including this information.
Following the approval, scientists will write the full applications with the administrative assistance of our staff and the institute will submit the applications for assessment to the National Authority for Research and Innovation. The deadline for submitting the full applications is August 12, 2015.
