Sixty thousand euros - half a million million crowns - for the development of applications and services based on artificial intelligence. This relatively significant amount is rather uncommonly offered by European researchers to start-ups and small and medium-sized companies. Innovative companies can submit their projects until the end of June. A total of sixteen companies will be selected, who will then have six months to develop their products. We asked Josef Šivic, an expert in computer vision, from the Czech Institute of Informatics, Robotics and Cybernetics of the Czech Technical University in Prague (CIIRC ČVUT), who participated in the formulation of this grant call and will sit on a commission that will select the most successful adepts.

CTU employees and students took part in this year's nation-wide call, which took place from 1 to 31 May and motivated them to travel by bike, scooter, on foot or trot, under the company profile "CTU in Prague".
