Program in Artificial Intelligence, Data Science and Cybersecurity of relevance to Public Administration

The Foundation for Science and Technology, as part of the PRR funding for investment "RE-C05-i08 - Ciência Mais Digital", is launching the Call "Artificial Intelligence, Data Science and Cybersecurity of relevance to Public Administration". This Call aims to support IC&DT projects geared towards the implementation of advanced cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and data science systems in public administration.

The aim is to promote and support ideas for research, development, testing and implementation activities of relevance to Public Administration entities, in the form of scientific research and technological development projects, at all stages, from exploratory activities to proofs of concept, covering the following thematic axes:

• Artificial intelligence and data science, including (among others): analysis of large volumes of data; predictive analysis, natural language processing, pattern analysis, machine learning;
• Interaction design and design of digital and physical systems, from an interdisciplinary and citizen-centered perspective;
• Cybersecurity, including (among others): prevention, detection, analysis and the ability to learn and respond to threats, risks and incidents that jeopardize the protection of infrastructures, data and people;
• Artificial Intelligence Governance: research and study/planning activities, including legal aspects, with a view to establishing a future national structure or organization dedicated to the implementation of artificial intelligence technologies in the light of the AI Act.

More information is available on the the Call.
