The CHIL project is an Integrated Project (IP 506909) under the European Commission’s Sixth Program. This 36-month project launched on January 1st 2004 is jointly coordinated by Universität Karlsruhe (TH) and the Fraunhofer Institute IITB.

Project Objective

The objective of this project is to create environments in which computers serve humans who focus on interacting with other humans as opposed to having to attend to and being preoccupied with the machines themselves. Instead of computers operating in an isolated manner, and Humans [thrust] in the loop [of computers] we will put Computers in the Human Interaction Loop (CHIL).
