Present: Heidi Sandaker, Eli Rye, Øystein Midttun, Morten Rudolfsen, Ali Poursina

• Heidi informed a bit about the center in general.
• Heidi informed about NorCC agreement with CERN on co-funding of PhD students. 
  • As soon as it is signed by UiO and CERN (which is any day now), it will be active for other institutions as soon as they sign (rector level). 
• Heidi informed about the two current calls NorCC are aiming to submit to:
  • "KI-milliard": https://www.forskningsradet.no/forskningspolitikk-strategi/ltp/kunstig-intelligens/. 
    • NorCC aims to submit a sketch. 
    • NorCC will have weekly meetings until the sketch deadline on June 7. The meeting slot will probably be Fridays 12:15, feel free to take part in these to figure out if UiA wants to join the initiative. 
      • Eli will send more information about these meetings when the details are finalized.
  • SFI: https://www.forskningsradet.no/sok-om-finansiering/midler-fra-forskningsradet/sfi/.
    • NorCC aims to submit an application, led by Armin Hafner at NTNU. 
    • Armin has planned a status meeting next week, at 13:00 on May 7. 
      • Eli will forward the meeting invitation from Armin, feel free to join to figure out if UiA wants to join the initiative.
• More to discuss, so we should aim to have somewhat regular meetings.
  • Ali will send out an invitation for the next meeting.
