The impact of AI on Low-resource (limited digital resources) languages and their visual cultures

Dopad AI na low-resourced (s obmedzenými digitálnymi zdrojmi) jazyky a ich vizuálne kultúry

Duration: 1.6.2025 - 30.11.2026
Program: International Visegrad Fund (IVF)
Project leader: Mgr. Kuchtová Alžbeta PhD
Annotation:This research initiative, led by MOME, aims to address the underrepresentation of low-resource languages, such as Slovak, Hungarian,Czech, Polish and their associated visual cultures in artificial intelligence systems. The project will define the status quo of the problematic AI systems and develop AI tools tailored to these cultures, enhancing the visibility of the V4 visual heritage.

Futures-oriented Governance of Outer Space

Futures-oriented Governance of Outer Space

Duration: 8.10.2024 - 7.10.2028
Program: COST
Project leader: Mgr Likavčan Lukáš PhD
Annotation:Europe faces rapidly rising geopolitical, socio-economic, and environmental stakes in outer space. The European space industry is crucial for economic growth and innovation. European scientific organizations are at the forefront of the global space sciences. Orbital satellite infrastructures play diverse and essential roles for European telecommunications and navigation. In the future, further exploration of the solar system holds vast potential for scientific discoveries and socio-economic development, possibly including by tapping various types of space resources. The COST Action “Futures-Oriented Governance of Outer Space: Towards Peace, Equity, and Environmental Integrity” (FOGOS) brings together researchers from Europe and beyond that work on diverse aspects of space governance and space futures across scientific disciplines. Starting from a comprehensive concept of sustainability that encompasses peace, equity, and environmental integrity as its core components, the aim of FOGOS is to improve the understanding of governance mechanisms and processes that can facilitate the attainment of sustainable space futures towards the middle of the 21st century for Europe. FOGOS will engage in a stocktake of existing governance mechanisms and processes; evaluate their potential deficits, gaps, and inconsistencies; and propose policy recommendations towards a grand political bargain aligned with the achievement of sustainable space futures over approximately the next three decades. The Action will do so by engaging policymakers and stakeholders from industry, science, and civil society. Through its networking and capacity-building activities, FOGOS will put Europe center stage in the contemporary global debate on outer space and its futures.

Cosmopolitanism and Tianxia: Toward the Shared Grounds of Mutually Beneficial and Respectful Understanding in Global Political Thought

Kozmopolitizmus a Tianxia: K spoločným základom vzájomne prospešného a rešpektujúceho porozumenia v globálnom politickom myslení

Duration: 1.1.2026 - 31.12.2028
Program: Bilateral - other
Project leader: Mgr. Dunaj Ľubomír PhD.
Annotation:The project brings together the leading interpreters of both Western and Eastern traditions and perspectives so as to forge a cross-cultural philosophical dialogue on the sources and prospects of a truly global political thought. The recent development of critical hermeneutics, emphasizing a reflexive account of cultural and social origins of values by building on the normative resources of interpretation, empathy and dialogue, and similar developments and aspirations coming from within comparative philosophy, will provide the substance of the project investigations. Given that such an undertaking must be reflexively situated in the multiplicity of civilizational and cultural origins, so as to adequately represent today’s global diversity of traditions, the issue arises how to critically assess both their methodological promise as well as the normative substance for their stated goal to reground global political philosophy and the respective much-needed dialogic politics. The project undertakes this assessment and exploration in a cross-cultural yet systematically focused manner. The investigations will engage the shared prospects of a global ethic, and a related dialogic politics based on a multi-polar and multi-origin of moral, religious, and civilizational perspectives. The research partner team based in Taiwan will place particular emphasis on Taiwan’s traditions of liberalism and New Confucianism, especially in how they differ from the perspectives of the Chinese academic community on key issues such as fundamental human rights, universal moral norms, foreign relations, economic aid, global justice, the international community, just war, and related topics. The Taiwanese partners seek to integrate Chinese and Western philosophies, demonstrate a strong interest in Western thought, and maintain a more open attitude toward modern values such as individuality, freedom, and democracy.
