The current call also includes a dedicated grant for projects in artificial intelligence.
Eligible activities include joint conferences and seminars, thematic doctoral workshops involving students and faculty from both institutions, and the creation and delivery of joint courses.

The program gives special consideration to projects that build sustainable relationships between departments or schools within the Alliance network.
