Office Manager

ELLIS Alicante is a non-for-profit private research foundation located in Alicante. It is focused on responsible and human-centric Artificial Intelligence (IA) for Social Good. Hence, it is also known as the Institute of Humanity-centric AI. ELLIS Alicante aims to be an international reference in AI research by and for people, by focusing on three areas of fundamental research in the intersection between humans and AI: 1) AI that understands us; 2) AI that interacts with us; 3) AI that we trust. It is part of the European network of 41 ELLIS units in Europe, being the only unit devoted exclusively to AI for Social Good. Furthermore, ELLIS Alicante is the only ELLIS unit created from scratch, with the spirit of a scientific startup. It was launched thanks to the vision, commitment, and generous financial support of the Generalitat Valenciana. It is also funded by other public and private institutions, including the European Commission, the Banc Sabadell Foundation, Intel Corporation and Nippon Gases.
