Open Innovation AI Research Community

Application

Context

The Open Innovation AI Research Community (“Research Community”) is a program for academic researchers, designed to foster collaboration and knowledge-sharing in the field of artificial intelligence. By joining this community, participants will have the chance to contribute to a research agenda that addresses the most pressing challenges in the field, and work together to develop innovative solutions that promote responsible and safe AI practices. We believe that by bringing together diverse perspectives and expertise, we can accelerate the pace and progress in AI research.

We host workshops and activities to carry out and support key research discussions, initiatives, and development to boost innovation and capabilities that drive the safe development of large language models and generative AI technology more broadly. Collaborations between Meta and the research community provide opportunities to garner key feedback on Meta’s approach to open-source and to support research within the community to support Meta’s future model development.


Eligibility

This community is open to professors at accredited universities anywhere in the world.

Community members should have relevant experience with Al, backgrounds in diverse research disciplines, technical capabilities to pursue research, and the ability to contribute to virtual forums and in-person workshops. Each university may have multiple participants. We encourage applications from institutions that serve underrepresented students, and institutions that are located in the Global South.

Complete the application form to join our newsletter and learn more about the community, upcoming events, and innovative research being done with Llama.

Note: Applications to the Research Community are reviewed on a rolling basis and do not guarantee invitations to upcoming workshops. Please note that by applying to this community, you are opting into receiving information from Meta.
