The Artificial Intelligence Journal (AIJ) is one of the longest established and most respected journals in AI, and since it was founded in 1970, it has published many of the key papers in the field. The operation of the Editorial Board is supported financially through an arrangement with AIJ's publisher, Elsevier. Through this arrangement, the AIJ editorial board is able to make available substantial funds, (of the order of 240,000 Euros per annum), to support the promotion and dissemination of AI research. Most of these funds are made available through a series of competitive open calls (the remaining part of the budget is reserved for sponsorship of studentships for the annual IJCAI conference).

The current call has a deadline of February 15, 2022, and a budget of 120,000 Euros.

This call will take into account that the COVID-19 situation has forced many event organizers to replace in-person events with virtual ones. Therefore, we welcome requests for innovative online activities related to this major event transformation.

Proposals should be submitted following the format and content guidelines, as well as submission instructions, that can be found on the AIJ website: https://www.ijcai.org/aijd.
