European project CLARA on AI for neurodegenerative disorders awarded 15M€

We are happy to announce that project CLARA has been awarded 15M€ by the European Union. The project is funded under the "Horizon Europe - Teaming for Excellence" which aims at creating excellence centers in widening countries with the help of leading EU institutions.

CLARA will allow creating the “Center for Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Computing in System Brain Research” in the Czech Republic, teaming up with a French and a German partner.

For France, the project is led by Olivier Colliot, Pr[AI]rie Chair holder and CNRS Research Director at the Paris Brain Institute. Other partners include the International Neurodegenerative Disorders Research Center (INDRC), the Czech Technical University, the Technical University of Ostrava, St. Anne’s University Hospital (Czech Republic) and the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (Germany). Other participants include Pr[AI]rie Chair holder Ninon Burgos and former Pr[AI]rie Chair holder Josef Sivic (now with Czech Technical University).

First contacts that led to this success were made during the Czech-French Workshop on Artificial Intelligence in Prague on 12-13 September 2022.
