Cost/funding for participants
EIT CDT Students are studying on the EIT-funded DPhil (PhD) degree: Fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT). They have firm and sophisticated understandings of the underpinning theory and method development of artificial intelligence and machine learning and are therefore best placed to help drive advancements that could have transformative impact across EIT's four Humane Endeavours.
Un-save Opportunity
Internships, scholarships, student conferences and competitions.
