- Call for proposals (archived)
This £65m programme seeks to build the foundations for general-purpose olfactory perception – matching or exceeding biological systems in programme challenges. For this call we sought proposals for Technical Area 1, in which up to six teams will be given up to £500k each to build the Open Olfactory Resource (OOR), the world's largest open, cross-domain dataset of volatile chemical signals.
We will announce the selected Creators in the coming months.
