AI43 mutual-aid fund
A missed deadline can become a fellow learner’s first step. The idea comes from the Neapolitan tradition of suspended coffee: leave something forward for the person who needs it next.
Participating PODs can invite a €5 contribution after a missed deadline. Contributions are never charged automatically and the rule is shown before a POD begins.
Your missteps can become someone else’s starting point.AI43
In a POD that has adopted the rule, the learner can make a voluntary €5 contribution to the shared fund.
Every three confirmed contributions create one funded course place for a learner who needs support.
AI43 publishes the eligibility and selection process through Grants & Scholarships before a place is allocated.
This is a cohort-specific mutual-aid mechanism, not an automatic penalty. The precise contribution, eligibility, and payment terms must be stated before enrollment.

The fund sits alongside partner-backed places and future scholarships designed to make practical AI education more reachable.
