NOLAI Projects

Each year, NOLAI starts projects at schools across the Netherlands that are based on concrete questions from educational practice and aimed at developing and researching AI applications. NOLAI unites teachers, companies, and scientists to develop sophisticated and responsible solutions.

Currently, 17 projects have been launched and the next ones have already entered the preparatory stages. You can find an overview here.
