I programmi dell'Istituto trasformano l'interesse in partecipazione attraverso volontariato, tirocini, tutoraggio, borse di studio, partnership, filantropia e percorsi open source. Tutti i programmi sono aperti a persone con qualsiasi background e livello di esperienza.
Volontario
Volunteering is the broadest on-ramp for participation. Volunteers contribute to learning groups, projects, operations, writing, analysis, media production, and community support according to available time, background, and skills.
No prior expertise in Active Inference is required — many volunteers begin by attending meetings, watching recordings, and contributing in whatever way fits their current capacity.
Stage
Internships provide structured engagement for participants who want to contribute more deeply to specific projects or functions. Interns work on defined deliverables — documentation, analysis, code, educational materials, or operational support — and develop skills through project practice and community engagement.
Learning is built into the process regardless of prior experience.
Mentorship
Mentorship connects experienced participants with people earlier in their engagement with Active Inference or the Institute. Mentors support the development of mentees through guidance, feedback, shared project work, and professional connection.
Mentorship can be formal — with defined goals and regular check-ins — or informal, emerging naturally from community participation.
Borsa di studio
Il percorso di Fellowship supporta i contributori che forniscono rapporti progressivi regolari e sviluppano ricerche, applicazioni o risorse pubbliche allineate con l'Istituto e l'Ecosistema. I Fellow assumono impegni sostenuti su progetti o aree specifiche di lavoro, condividono aggiornamenti con la comunità in modo regolare e producono output pubblici — articoli, software, materiali educativi o deliverabili di progetto.
Grant
The Institute supports grant proposals and funding efforts aligned with Active Inference research, education, and application. Participants and projects can seek Institute support for grant preparation, institutional affiliation, and collaborative funding proposals.
The Institute tracks funding opportunities and shares them through its regular communications.
Partenariato
Partnerships align organizations, research groups, funders, and collaborators around concrete shared work. Partner organizations may co-host events, co-author publications, share resources, provide infrastructure, or collaborate on research and education projects.
Partnership is a practical exchange of time, attention, expertise, funding, and institutional support.
Filantropia
Come organizzazione senza scopo di lucro registrata 501(c)(3), l'Active Inference Institute accetta donazioni deducibili dalle imposte da parte di individui e organizzazioni. Il sostegno filantropico finanzia l'educazione pubblica, le infrastrutture di ricerca, gli eventi, gli strumenti comunitari e la gestione dell'ecosistema.
Open Source
Il contributo open source è una funzione di supporto all'ecosistema: pubblicare lavori riutilizzabili, migliorare l'infrastruttura del progetto e rendere scopribili e gestibili le risorse tecniche condivise. L'Istituto ospita e contribuisce a repository open source per implementazioni, strumenti, dataset, ontologie e materiali educativi di Active Inference.
