Description

The aim of the NGF AiNed Fellowship Grants programme is to attract AI talent, in view of the international competition for AI talent. This programme is intended for Dutch academic research organisations that, in line with their strategy, want to invest in attracting AI talent for the position of (tenure track) assistant professor, associate professor or full professor. This programme enables research organisations to offer this AI talent a more attractive starting package.

Purpose

This programme focuses on knowledge and talent development and strengthening the national AI ecosystem.

The aim of the NGF AiNed Fellowship Grants programme is to attract internationally much sought after AI talent to Dutch academic research organisations. Besides carrying out their own research, these AI talents will contribute to the national AI ecosystem.

The Dutch AI research agenda AIREA-NL constitutes the substantive framework of the programme. This agenda covers the broad spectrum of AI research, from technology to the social sciences and humanities.

This programme is geared towards Dutch academic research organisations that, in line with their strategy, want to invest (see Section 3.5.1) in attracting AI talent to the position of (tenure track) assistant professor, associate professor or full professor. The AI talent will be selected by the research organisation. This programme enables research organisations to offer this AI talent a more attractive starting package.

Besides, the programme seeks to contribute to an increasingly diverse Dutch AI research community.
