The CNIC will receive €4 million to develop the AI training program

CNIC is leading the AI and Big Data Training Plan for Cardiovascular Health (cardiotrAIning), coordinated by Dr. Borja Ibáñez and Dr. Fátima Sánchez Cabo. The program’s objective is to attract professionals from the ICT field (computer scientists, engineers, mathematicians, physicists, etc.) and train them in the use of AI and Big Data applied to cardiovascular health.

Thanks to this initiative, the CNIC will train 15 new specialists in artificial intelligence for cardiovascular research, consolidating itself as a reference in the integration of advanced technologies in biomedicine.

This call is part of the Talent Attraction and Retention Programs of the National Digital Skills Plan and the Artificial Intelligence Strategy. Red.es has allocated 120 million euros for scholarships and contracts in AI, of which nearly 4 million will be directed to the cardiotrAIning program.
