European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems
The European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems (ELLIS) is a pan-European nonprofit organization for the promotion of artificial intelligence with a focus on machine learning. The organization's goal is to establish top AI research institutes, strengthen basic research and create a European PhD programme for AI.

History
The organization was inspired by the Learning in Machines and Brains program of the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research. ELLIS was first proposed in an open letter to European governments in April 2018, which stated that Europe was not keeping up with the US and China. It urged that European governments act to provide opportunities and funding for world-class AI research in Europe.[1][2][3]
It was founded on 6 December 2018 at the Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS).[4]
Board
The members of the board are:[5]
- Barbara Caputo
- Nuria Oliver
- Bernhard Schölkopf (chairman)
- Max Welling
ELLIS research groups
ELLIS has set up so-called ELLIS units, research groups, at 19 locations. In an open competition, the research groups were selected by an international commission of scientists according to their scientific excellence in the field.
These institutions will invest 200 million euros in artificial intelligence research over the next 5 years.[6]
Research programmes
ELLIS set up 11 research programmes. The research programmes have been selected by an international commission.[28]
