Find2Fix project receives NWO Knowledge and Innovation Covenant funding
The Find2Fix project by dr. Sicco Verwer has received funding from the Knowledge and Innovation Covenant (KIC) by the Dutch Research Council (NWO). The project is focused on reducing software errors using transparent AI. Through this funding programme, NWO will boost six new projects with a total of €10.5 Million.
Find2Fix: reducing software errors using transparent AI
In this project Sicco Verwer, from the Algorithmics group, and his team will build the first open-source Find2Fix pipeline, focused on explaining the root cause of an error and why a suggested fix works. They will explain errors and fixes to developers without requiring extensive security knowledge, publish it open source, and build a Dutch start-up that makes it easy to use and brings it to market. With this effort, they aim to increase digital autonomy.
Boost for Cybersecurity and Digital Resilience
This funding is aimed at strengthening Dutch digital resilience, making it more challenging for cybercriminals and foreign actors to cause harm. The research stems from NWO’s Knowledge and Innovation Covenant (KIC).
NWO-KIC: innovation programmes in the knowledge and innovation covenant
NWO develops innovation programmes that focus on societal challenges in the Netherlands. These programmes aim to have an impact on the economy, people and society. The focus is on cooperation between knowledge institutions, private parties and the government. The results thus contribute to the realisation of economic opportunities. It is therefore essential that companies invest in every research project.
