On 25 October 2024, we kicked off the PHAWM project with a Launch and Networking Event at the University of Strathclyde’s Technology and Innovation Centre. The event brought together project researchers, partners, and stakeholders from across the UK and beyond.

Professor Dame Muffy Calder set the tone with an inspiring welcome, drawing on her expertise as RAI UK Skills Pillar Chair and Vice-Principal of the University of Glasgow. Our project team then took centre stage, sharing insights into our key objectives and an overview of our first of the health and cultural heritage use cases that the project will explore.

This was followed by an interactive Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) activity which you can also take part in HERE. Our approach to RRI has been inspired by UKRI Trustworthy Autonomous Systems Hub’s approach of building it into the core of our activities.

The afternoon finished with a networking event with our stakeholders, connecting with other RAi-funded projects, researchers (including early-career and PhD), and the wider AI ecosystem across the UK.

A big thank you to everyone who participated and supported our project!
