Thematic Networks of Excellence for AI in Science (RAISE pilot)
Funds a network of leading European research labs applying AI to a specific scientific field, piloting a virtual AI-in-science institute across Europe.
This is a single-stage Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Action funding one project worth EUR 15 million, for a network dedicated to AI in materials science specifically. Financial support to third parties can serve two distinct purposes — transferring knowledge to spread excellence, or bringing in complementary data, expertise or AI models — is capped at EUR 60,000 per beneficiary, and has t…
The European Commission wants a network of excellent European research labs, at least half with a proven track record in applying AI to scientific research, to collaborate on strategic challenges in a chosen thematic area — this call's proposed field is AI in materials science. The network must draw up a strategic research agenda, share data, models and infrastructure across the network, run talent-exchange schemes like joint fellowships and mobility, and develop community-driven datasets, models, standards and benchmarks.
