ELLIS Unit

The European Lab for Learning and Intelligent Systems (ELLIS) brings together outstanding academic institutions in the field of machine learning. Radboud University is one of the few universities in the Netherlands with an ELLIS Unit. Our mission at the Nijmegen ELLIS Unit is to advance theoretical and applied machine learning research and to educate the next generation of machine learning researchers. We have over 30 years of experience in machine learning research in various domains, such as causal discovery, brain-inspired computing, computational aspects of machine learning, deep and transfer learning, speech and language processing and computer vision.

Researchers from all faculties are invited for the Radboud AI Meetup, so topics will range from healthcare to robotics, from natural language processing to computer vision, and from physics to sustainability.

For researchers

Radboud University and Radboudumc researchers that perform machine learning research can become a member of our ELLIS Unit. Benefits of membership are having access to our interfaculty community and activities, being able to submit ELLIS Excellence Fellowship projects and supervise your own ELLIS Excellence Fellow.
