Artificial Intelligence Humanities Sandpit
SSHRC and The UK Research and Innovation’s Arts and Humanities Research Council
This program will support a humanities-led, interdisciplinary research “sandpit” (a facilitated, collaborative process through which new research teams and project ideas are developed and selected for funding) to put humanities insights and methodologies at the heart of artificial intelligence tech design.
Through a series of workshops, teams will develop project ideas for further funding. Up to four grants will ultimately be awarded. Travel and subsistence costs to attend an in-person workshop will be covered by the funders.
Up to $200,000 CAD over 18 months available.
If successful, outcomes and invitations to attend the sandpit will be communicated by Friday 12 December 2025. A completed FAAF will be required at the EOI stage.
