AI Chairs @ University of Strasbourg
ENACT will fund the positions of chair holders and provide financial support for the research and
innovation activities carried out within these chairs. Eligible expenses include staff, operational costs,
infrastructure, and services, in line with the funding rules of the “AI Cluster” action of the France 2030
program.
Each chair will receive:
- The salary of the chair holder, from the date of appointment until the end of the program
(December 31, 2029). (~€50,000 gross per year) - €235,000 for staffing costs, which may be used to recruit a PhD student, postdoctoral researcher,
or research engineer.
o If the chair holder does not have the habilitation (HDR), and recruits a PhD student, the
doctoral work must be co-supervised by an HDR-holder, typically a member of a
laboratory affiliated with the AI Cluster (see Annex 1). This co-supervisor does not need to
be identified at submission. - €17,500 for operating costs.
In addition, chair holders will benefit from priority access to computing resources developed within
ENACT and to the cluster’s dedicated engineering team.
Chair holders will benefit from support from ENACT to secure additional resources, develop partnerships
with regional ecosystem stakeholders, and ensure long-term establishment in the territory.
