The call for applications is now online for a research grant for the COLLAGE Project, which focuses on developing new methodologies for sustainable Artificial Intelligence. Interested candidates must submit their applications by 12:00 noon on Friday 7 August. 

The COLLAGE project

The project aims to reduce the computational costs of AI systems through a continuous, decentralised, and compositional approach, encouraging the reuse of existing models and the development of solutions designed to be more efficient and sustainable.

The project aims to create Artificial Intelligence models that can adapt over time, share knowledge between different applications, and build new systems by reusing existing ones. The results will be validated through a proof of concept based on a decentralised system for forecasting floods in Europe.

Research activities

The selected candidate will conduct research focused on developing a methodology for the automatic and dynamic selection of Artificial Intelligence models based on the specific task at hand, thereby contributing to the project's objectives regarding the decentralised composability of AI models.

The research grant will run for 12 months.

How to apply

The selection notice and application form are available here.

The application must be accompanied by the following documentation:

  • a dated and signed curriculum vitae, including authorisation for the processing of personal data;
  • a copy of a valid identity document;
  • a degree certificate or a self-declaration pursuant to Article 46 of Italian Presidential Decree No. 445/2000;
  • a list of any scientific publications (applications are accepted even without publications);
  • an electronic copy of your bachelor's, master's, and/or doctoral thesis, as well as any other academic work deemed relevant for the assessment;
  • a declaration confirming the absence of conflicts of interest or grounds for incompatibility.

Selection process

The selection will be based solely on an assessment of qualifications, the curriculum vitae, and any scientific publications, in accordance with the criteria and scoring system outlined in the call for applications.

The final ranking, any interviews, and all updates regarding the procedure will be published on the dedicated page of the Luiss website.
