ELLIS believes in cultivating and supporting a diverse and interactive ecosystem around research in machine learning-driven fields in order to bring Europe to the forefront of developments in fundamental science, technical innovation and societal impact.
Our vision is for Europe to shape how machine learning and AI change the world by connecting outstanding research hot-spots and facilitating collaboration and exchange within these highly developed ecosystems.
Our sponsors
ELLIS sponsors are often top industry players and key stakeholders in machine learning and AI in Europe.
Sponsors work closely with ELLIS units to enrich local ecosystems, guide European policy and regulation, and contribute to developments in innovation. These industry players gain access to ELLIS’ network of senior researchers and its talent pool of younger scientists through sponsorship, strengthening the connection between industry trends and cutting-edge research. As stakeholders themselves, our sponsors know the value of supporting a strong and diverse European ecosystem in AI and machine learning.
About the sponsorship
The sponsorship
Sponsorship is fundamental to the ELLIS units, who work to engage local stakeholders and act as coordinator and conduit of their native ecosystem.
Sponsors are typically close partners for their units, and can also be involved in developing projects, strengthening the ecosystem, or guiding the network’s growth. ELLIS sponsors additionally support the ELLIS PhD & Postdoc program, ELLIS research workshops, mobility and exchanges for cross-Europe collaboration, and network activities such as summer schools, bootcamps, lecture series, and networking opportunities.
The benefits
By contributing to the development and growth of the ELLIS network, ELLIS sponsors gain access to two levels of benefits.
Sponsors get benefits at both their local unit, and through the ELLIS society. The program is tiered for both of these levels, with Bronze, Silver, and Gold access. Unit-level benefits are discussed between the unit and the sponsor, as different units organize different types of events and opportunities depending on their size, setup, research capacity, number of sponsors, and the maturity of their ecosystem. Society-wide benefits are centrally coordinated, but still managed through the units.
