Academic Partnerships: Shape the Future of Explainable & Actionable AI
Xpdeep collaborates with universities, engineering schools, and research labs to integrate self-explainable, ante-hoc deep learning into education, research, and innovation programs. Together, we advance trustworthy, certifiable, sovereign AI for science, industry, and society.
Academic Partnerships: Advance Research, Secure Funding, and Shape Actionable AI.
Xpdeep's academic partnerships extend the frontier of Deep Learning 2.0 — explainable, certifiable, and actionable AI.
We support faculty, students, and research groups with:
- Free academic access to Xpdeep Hub for Education
- Self-explainable deep model training (ante-hoc, not post-hoc)
- Explainability benchmarks and reproducible science
- Joint research on explainability, causality, AI governance, and temporal models
- Collaborative EU-funded projects (Horizon Europe, Chips JU, EIC, ANR, BPI Deep Tech)
Partner institutions can design, train, and visualize explainable models in a secure sandbox while preparing the next generation of engineers for governed, certifiable AI. Learn more about our mission and our platform.
Why Partner with Xpdeep
Bridge Education and Industry
Give your students hands-on experience with a professional-grade, explainable deep learning framework used across automotive, defense, energy, healthcare, BFSI, and manufacturing.
Support Responsible Innovation
Embed explainability, fairness, traceability, and governance principles directly into AI courses — turning students into future-ready AI practitioners.
Enable Research Impact
Use Xpdeep for explainability experiments, causal analysis, counterfactuals, temporal modeling, and model optimization — with tools suited to top-tier publications and industrial adoption.
Access EU Grants & Funding
Collaborate with Xpdeep on Horizon Europe, Chips JU, EIC Pathfinder, ANR programs, and supervised research (Masters, PhD, postdoc).
Collaboration Models
Curriculum Integration
Bring ante-hoc explainability into AI, ML, and Data Science courses. We provide academic Hub access, guided notebooks, datasets, and course-ready materials.
Research Partnerships
Co-author research on explainability, causality, temporal modeling, counterfactuals, and AI Act readiness. Co-supervision options available for MSc and PhD research.
Innovation Hubs & Labs
Build student innovation hubs powered by Xpdeep Core, XpViz, XpAct, and the academic Hub. Ideal for capstone projects, demonstrators, hackathons, and prototype development.
Deep Learning 2.0 — Prepare Students for the Next Era
Deep learning is shifting from black-box models to transparent, certifiable, and actionable systems that meet global expectations for trust and accountability.
Through academic partnerships, students and researchers gain early access to:
- Ante-hoc explainable deep models
- Actionable "How-To" counterfactual reasoning
- Temporal and multimodal explainability
- AI governance-ready workflows
- Foundations of sovereign European AI
Academic partners aren't just teaching deep learning — they're teaching the deep learning that enterprises will use for the next decade.
