[Cmi-board] Support for CDTs

[Sarvapali Ramchurn]

Hi all,

As discussed at the last CMI board meeting, it would be good if we can provide some basic text for all AI CDT proposals going in about CMI. Here is a draft of the text:


The [NAME_OF_CDT] CDT will be supported by the newly created Centre for Machine Intelligence (CMI) at Southampton (www.cmi.ecs.soton.ac.uk <http://www.cmi.ecs.soton.ac.uk/>). The CMI runs regular events involving students, academics, industry, policy makers, and the general public and has so far attracted over 800 attendees to its events. CMI will work closely with the CDT to run events that will aim to train students in public speaking at its informal evening seminars. CMI will also leverage its large network within the high-tech industry to provide internship opportunities for students, and invite them to attend specific workshops to feedback on the progress of student projects. CMI also organises a yearly showcase event to promote AI activity to industry and the general public, and it will do so in collaboration with the CDT to ensure maximum visibility is given to the research undertaken within the CDT. CMI will co-fund these activities with the CDT, requiring a contribution of £2000 per year to pay for consumables and travel for speakers.


Also, as an aside, Iris Kramer (+1) will be starting the survey of AI activities this week. Please help push your colleagues to maximise the information she gathers for the brochure!!

Regards,

Gopal
