Erasmus University Rotterdam invites researchers and professional support staff to apply for the GenAI in Research Futures Fund, backed by the GenAI in Research Programme. The fund supports small-scale projects that explore how Generative AI can enhance research practices across the Social Sciences & Humanities.
The call aims to support AI-enhanced research throughout the research cycle* through learning and experimentation activities*. Applicants can propose projects that advance the use and understanding of GenAI in research. This includes, but is not limited to, testing new GenAI approaches, adapting existing research workflows, developing AI literacy and responsible-use practices, or critically assessing the role, impact, and limitations of AI in research within the EUR research community.
*These links are only accessible to EUR employees.
Who can apply
