Funding Opportunities for Promoting AI Research
Deadline: July 15th, 2026
The Artificial Intelligence Journal (AIJ) is one of the longest
established and most respected journals in AI, and since it was
founded in 1970, it has published many of the key papers in the
field. The operation of the Editorial Board is supported financially
through an arrangement with AIJ’s publisher, Elsevier. Through this
arrangement, the AIJ editorial board is able to make available
substantial funds, (currently of the order of 160,000 USD per annum),
to support the promotion and dissemination of AI research. Most of
these funds are made available through a series of competitive open
calls (the remaining part of the budget is reserved for sponsorship of
studentships for the annual IJCAI conference). The next call is now
open, with a deadline of **July 15th, 2026.**
