TRUMAN Project Kicks Off

TRUMAN Project Kicks Off with a Strong Start in France

The TRUMAN project—an ambitious EU-funded initiative aimed at enhancing the resilience and trustworthiness of AI systems—officially launched with a two-day kickoff meeting at Eurecom, France, on July 8–9, 2025. Representing the Pervasive Systems (PS) group at the University of Twente were Dr. Jeroen Klein Brinke and Ali Sabzi Khoshraftar, who actively participated in the event.

The PS group is contributing to Work Package 3 (AI Methods), which focuses on three cutting-edge AI architectures: knowledge graph (KG) representation and learning, continual learning, and large language models (LLMs). These approaches will be explored to tackle challenges such as dynamic data collection, distributed model training, and human-in-the-loop (HITL) design. A significant focus of the project lies in addressing privacy, fairness, and adversarial robustness, while also considering the human perspective—making AI more explainable and inclusive.

More details about TRUMAN are available on the CORDIS project page. The official project website—truman-horizon.eu—will be launched shortly.
