The initiative will support up to 20 research projects focusing on two main areas: Cognitive Cities and Health and Life Sciences, with a special emphasis on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics Systems. Research topics include Smart Mobility, Precision Medicine, and AI applications like Fintech.
