Next-Generation AI Agents for Real-World Applications in the Apply AI sectors
Pays two European projects EUR 19 million each to advance autonomous AI-agent planning, memory and multi-agent coordination for real-world tasks such as data analytics and coding.
Next-Generation AI Agents for Real-World Applications in the Apply AI sectors is a European Commission call that pays two European projects EUR 19 million each to advance autonomous AI-agent planning, memory and multi-agent coordination for real-world tasks such as data analytics and coding. Even a company legally established inside an eligible country can be blocked here if it's directly or indir…
The Commission wants research that improves the autonomy, reliability and reasoning of AI agents built on large language or multimodal models, including better planning, memory management and tool use. It also wants multi-agent frameworks that let several agents coordinate on complex tasks beyond what a single agent can do.
