work packages to achieve 5 goals: 1) build NCUI with effective governance, 2)
integrate AI subdisciplines with application research, 3) strengthen
academia-industry links, 4) consolidate national research capacity, and 5)
promote science-for-policy with ethical and social focus. The outcome will be
a stronger Czech AI ecosystem, knowledge transfer, and development of trustworthy
AI.
