The winner will have the opportunity to work on the research track of HACID, which is an is an HORIZON Innovation Action, a collaborative project funded under the Horizon Europe Programme, within the topic "AI, Data and Robotics at work". 
HACID develops a novel hybrid collective intelligence for decision support to professionals facing complex open-ended problems, promoting engagement, fairness and trust.
The focus of this post-doctoral fellowship is design and development of dashboards for the visualisation and interaction with knowledge graphs in the context of two application domains: medical diagnostics and decision support for climate change adaptation policies. The dashboard will have to enable the selection by domain experts of concepts relevant to the case study, presenting their state in a dynamic and usable way. The activities include the experimental validation of the dashboard to test its usability and consistency.
