We would like to draw your attention to an exciting current Europe-wide tender.
Together with the Volkswagen Foundation, the Lower Saxony Foundation has recently announced the LINK Masters grant as part of its LINK – Artificial Intelligence in Art and Culture funding program.
We are looking for individuals and teams from the fields of culture (art, theater, music, literature, dance, film, socioculture, museums, education) as well as computer science (data science, machine learning, robotics, etc.) and related fields with an interest in interdisciplinary project work.
After a three-day workshop (November 5-7, 2020) in Hanover to get to know each other, form teams and develop initial joint ideas, €10,000 each will be awarded to ten teams (Planning Grants: deadline January 31, 2021) for their promising project ideas on AI in culture.
The progress of the work and the differentiated concept are to be presented to the jury in summer 2021 in order to select three final projects from the ten teams and ideas, which are to be implemented in 12 to 18 months with €150,000 each (full grants).
The range of feasible projects is deliberately left open. The results are intended to benefit the cultural scene. For subsequent use, the products will be published (in part) in the repository of the participating foundations on GitHub and licensed with a CC-By or GPL.
Enclosed you will find the complete call for applications in German and English. The application form in German and English as well as further information can be found at https://www.link-niedersachsen.de/link-masters
The first application deadline is July 31, 2020.
