📢 Call for Proposals | Research Experiment Designs Using the Epitome Platform


We are pleased to invite academic scholars and researchers to submit proposals for innovative research experiment designs using Epitome—an AI-powered experimental platform advancing research in AI for Social Science.


Epitome enables researchers to design, run, and analyse experiments that explore human–AI interaction, social dynamics, and decision-making, leveraging cutting-edge large language models and experimental methodologies.


🔬 Why Epitome?

The platform supports:

 • Flexible integration of multiple LLMs (e.g., GPT, Llama, Qwen) with controllable parameters

 • One-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many human–AI interaction settings

 • Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and intervention-based causal testing

 • End-to-end experiment management with a user-friendly, modular interface

 • Integrated data collection and analytics, including questionnaires and physiological signals (e.g., EEG)


🎯 What selected proposals receive

 • Full coverage of computational and AI model costs on the Epitome platform

 • Invitation to present initial findings at the Human–Algorithm Interaction Workshop, held in Oxford, July 2026

 • Full travel support for selected participants


🗓️ Key dates

 • Submission deadline: February 28, 2026

 • Winners announced: March 15, 2026


📄 Proposal requirements include:

 • Research question

 • Experimental design and rationale

 • Expected outcomes and impact

 • Research timeline

 • Anticipated LLM usage

 • Ethical considerations


📍 This call is jointly supported by the Human–Algorithm Interaction Lab and Shanghai AI Lab.
