Fostering Innovative and Compliant Data Ecosystems (IA) (AI, Data and Robotics Partnership)
Funds up to six projects, worth EUR 7 million to EUR 9 million each, that build AI tools for regulatory compliance or generate synthetic data to fix gaps in real-world datasets.
Consortia submit an Innovation Action proposal by the single deadline, and the Commission expects to fund six projects from this topic's EUR 45,000,000 budget, each worth between EUR 7,000,000 and EUR 9,000,000. Eligibility reaches beyond the usual Horizon Europe list to include OECD countries, but an eligible-country entity that is directly or indirectly controlled by a non-eligible country or a …
The Commission wants innovation actions covering one of three areas: AI-driven compliance technology (using NLP, machine learning and analytics to simplify EU reporting obligations), automatic compliance tools for Common European Data Spaces, or the generation and validation of synthetic data to fix gaps, bias or confidentiality problems in real-world datasets. Each proposal must state which single area is its main focus, even if it touches more than one.
