<br>
1. Data sharing (incorporating synthetic data, PETs and FEDS)<br>
2. Digital twins (incorporating agent based models and multiagent systems)<br>
3. AI in a changing world<br>
<br>
Through this call we are seeking to fund projects that fall under the “digital twins” research theme.<br>
<br>
We have £300,000 to award through this call. We are seeking to award up to £150,000 per project. In special circumstances there may be an opportunity to increase the funding awarded for an outstanding project.<br>
