Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP) is Sweden’s largest individual research program ever, and provides a platform for academic research and education, fostering interaction with Sweden’s leading technology companies.
The program addresses research on autonomous systems, artificial intelligence (AI) and software, and how these techniques can be used for building systems acting in collaboration with humans, adapting to their environment and forming intelligent systems of systems. The focus of the program is on fundamental research, which is typically carried out in PhD projects, but WASP also supports education and recruitment of new researchers to the participating universities.
WASP aims to build a world leading platform for academic research that interacts with leading companies to develop knowledge and competence for the future.
