Cross-project collaboration

WASP-HS call for collaboration between projects

Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program on Humanities and Society (WASP-HS) aims to realize excellent research and develop competence on the consequences and challenges of artificial intelligence and autonomous systems for humanities and society. A central component of the initiative is to support multi-disciplinary interaction across the funded projects.

This initiative supports research on issues that require a multidisciplinary approach and are relevant for two or more projects. Collaborations can focus on specific research problems, conceptual, methodological or theoretical issues, or other scientific inquiries.

Proposals are submitted to the WASP-HS program office using a template available on the WASP-HS website, see below.

The WASP-HS management team evaluates and decides on the acceptance of the proposals. The board is informed of the decisions made by the management team. A maximum of 100,000 SEK can be requested for one collaboration. Each year, a maximum sum of 400,000 SEK, can be allocated for this instrument.
