The call for proposals for SSF Multidisciplinary Research Center: Cyber-Resilience for AI-systems (MRC CRAI) from the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF) supports the development of a multidisciplinary center in Sweden.
Applicants should be researchers at Swedish universities and research institutes with extensive experience and excellent results in AI research, in collaboration with corresponding leading researchers in the cybersecurity field. Participation from industry and/or society is also a requirement. SSF funds research in natural sciences, technology and medicine, but applicants are encouraged to also engage researchers in the humanities, behavioral and social sciences to put the problems in a societal context and thereby achieve a sustainable implementation of the innovations.
The center is part of SSF’s initiative on Multidisciplinary Research Centers (MRC). The aim is to stimulate multidisciplinary research between academia, research institutes, industry and society for sharper results and faster application. The application must clearly describe the scientific issues and European collaboration.
Applicants may apply for up to 60 million SEK over 6 years, including 25% of overheads.
Applications close on September 2, 2025.
