The new Oxford Schmidt Africa-India AI in Science Faculty Fellowship (AI2-Ox SFF) Programme, developed in partnership with the Africa Oxford Initiative (AfOx), the Oxford India Centre for Sustainable Development (OICSD) and four Oxford colleges, will fund 18 faculty research fellows over the next five years, starting in 2025.
AI2-Ox SFF builds on Oxford’s existing Eric and Wendy Schmidt AI in Science Postdoctoral Fellowship Programme, which has already welcomed 25 fellows. AfOx which facilitates equitable collaborations between Oxford and African universities, and OICSD, established through a historic agreement with the Government of India in 2013, will play crucial roles in implementing the programme.
