Funding opportunity from The AI Hub in Generative Models

Collaborations led by UK academic researchers can bid for up to £100,000 for dataset creation projects through this call, which aims to encourage development of new datasets supporting scientific advancement and technological innovation.

The availability of rich, diverse, and well-curated datasets is vital for advancing scientific and technological innovation. Dataset challenges serve as a mechanism for benchmarking algorithms, identifying novel solutions, and fostering collaborative research.  

This funding call seeks to support projects that will:

• Create new, high-quality datasets: identifying gaps in existing data resources, enabling new research avenues and potential for significant impact.
• Develop multimodal benchmark datasets and tasks with a clear real-world application.
• Curate and enhance existing datasets: Significantly improving the quality and use of existing datasets.
• Design and host dataset challenges: Leveraging datasets to host impactful challenges that encourage problem-solving within the research community.

The full economic cost of your project can be up to £125,000. The Gen AI Hub will fund 80% of the FEC, that is, up to £100,000.
