We are delighted to announce that a consortium led by
Catrin Moore has received £143,000 for a project on “Comprehensive Understanding of Disease and AI Research (CURE)” from the UKRI Infection Innovation Consortium (
iiCON). CitAI will collaborate with partners, including
SmartBiotic in examining existing antimicrobial resistance data and use novel machine learning and AI tools to build a pipeline to convert existing heterogenic datasets which will be in different formats into a common dataset to inform future treatment guidelines.
The ‘Reframing European Gastronomy Legacy through Innovation Sustainability and Heritage’ project (RELISH) has received over €300K in funding from EC (Horizon Europe) for City, with a total grant awarded to the consortium of 12 partners from seven European countries of €3,857 million.
This project is led by Dr
Enrico Bonadio, Reader in the City Law School, with Co-Investigators Prof.
Eduardo Alonso, Professor of Artificial Intelligence and Director of
CitAI, and Dr
Christian Reynolds, Reader in the School of Health & Psychological Sciences.
The focus is on using AI-powered technology to the understanding of traditional EU recipes, embarking on the production of a visual and verbal food storytelling web platform that aims to mediate social cohesion, and reinforce EU cultural heritage transmission through education and public engagement, while addressing sustainable practices in the EU hospitality sector.
We are happy to announce a collaboration with RunPod, a globally distributed GPU cloud computing platform for AI workloads. RunPud will support our research for AI-supported early detection of cancer in medical imaging led by CitAI’s member Dr
Giacomo Tarroni.
We are thrilled to announce our Cooperation Agreement with the Research Centre for Intelligent Information Technologies (
CETINIA) at the University Rey Juan Carlos (
URJC), Madrid, Spain, to promote international academic cooperation in the area of Artificial Intelligence between the two institutions.
CitAI alumna, Dr Fatemeh Najibi, wins City’s ‘
Special Recognition Award’ in the category of ‘Excellence in STEM Achievement’. Congratulations Fatima!
We are delighted to announce that we have joined The Alan Turing Institute’s Turing University Network. CitAI's director,
Prof. E Alonso, is City's academic liaison.
We have been awarded a grant from the Turing Network Funding on “AI in Creative Industries”, to address the challenges posed by the irruption of AI art, the metaverse and its impact on intellectual property.
Sergio Naval-Marimont and Giacomo Tarroni from CitAI won the
Medical Out-of-Distribution Analysis Challenge (MOOD-2022) held at the MICCAI Conference in Singapore this year. The challenge had 2 tasks and 2 datasets. CitAI achieved a 1st place in the image task and a shared 1st place in the pixel level task. More information can be found

Congratulations!
CitAI has joined The Confederation of Laboratories for Artificial Intelligence Research in Europe
(CLAIRE). CLAIRE is a human-centred research
Network for AI European excellence with over 400 organisations.
