FAQ about the Open Call for Experiments
questions we received
AIRISE supports manufacturing SMEs to use AI in their environment. That is why the primary applicant needs to be a manufacturing SME. Still, you can join a proposal when the SME is prepared to subcontract you. Rules for this are in the guide for applicants.
The main purpose of AIRISE is to support manufacturing SMEs in their AI journey in their shopfloor; as such this idea cannot be funded under OC4.
You can select more than one service groups if needed; however, sticking to one would me much more realistic as it regards implementation, given the available resources per proposal.
No, tutors assigned and services provided from the AIRISE consortium are free of charge to you.
Services are provided by AIRISE partners free of charge, up to an amount equal to 2PMs.
Implementation of the solution is a joint effort between the applicant SME and the AIRISE service provider. AIRISE partners will provide expert guidance in the selected service area, as well as support you with AI algorithms to solve your problem. However, labelled data to train these algorithms (along with anything required to provide these), as well as deployment, testing and validation would require your own involvement.
