Please note that for H2020 calls, you can always make an expertise offer in the Programme’s Partner Search Tool in order to participate and contribute to projects being promoted by other organisations. 
Even for other funding schemes, we can always assist in looking for projects being promoted by other entities. In this case, please contact the BRU-IUL Office for how to proceed.

Explicability has become an essential element if users are to trust, accept and adopt the next generation of intelligent machines on a wider scale. This initiative seeks to advance to the next AI frontier with verifiable, evidence-based features of trustworthiness (i.e., reliable and unbiased alignment of values, goals and beliefs) and transparency (explainable performance), exploring radically new approaches (e.g., inspired from neuro-science, cognition or social science).
    2. Implantable autonomous devices and materials
