The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $435,271 Project Grant under CFDA Number 47.079 (Office of International Science and Engineering) to the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) to support a three-year International Research Experiences for Students (IRES) program. This IRES program, titled "AI-PROWIL: US-Swedish Research Experiences on AI in Production Technology and Work-Integrated Learning", will enable 18 U.S. STEM students from RIT to conduct research at the University West in Sweden. The program focuses on fundamental scientific research related to AI-enhanced automation, control, and management for future human-centered and sustainable workplaces. Key outcomes include student research projects, publications, conference presentations, as well as the development of new educational practices for preparing the AI research workforce. The program aims to promote the participants' research skills, international awareness, and teamwork capabilities through a collaborative U.S.-Sweden research experience.
