📋 Tender Overview
On 8 October 2025, the European Commission unveiled two major strategies to cement Europes role as a global powerhouse in Artificial Intelligence (AI). The Apply AI Strategy aims to boost the adoption of AI across Europes vital industries and public sector, supporting areas such as healthcare, energy, manufacturing, and culture. SMEs will also benefit from dedicated support, as the Commission mobilises EUR1 billion to drive AI-powered innovation and set up advanced screening centres in key sectors.In parallel, the AI in Science Strategy positions Europe at the forefront of AI-driven research. Central to this is RAISE, a new virtual institute to coordinate AI resources for science. The strategy invests EUR58 million in excellence and doctoral networks, EUR600 million in computing power for researchers, and seeks to double Horizon Europes annual AI funding to over EUR3 billion. The strategy is to be implemented with Member States, Associated Countries, companies, and global partners. The ERA Action on AI in Science is mentioned in this context.Both strategies emphasise collaboration, data access, and AI skills for Europes workforce, while including measures to monitor progress and ensure the responsible rollout of AI. Next, the Commission is planning to present a Data Union Strategy and host a major AI in Science Summit, reinforcing Europes commitment to trustworthy, innovative AI that benefits both industry and society. The AI Summit, jointly organised by the Danish Presidency and the Commission, will take place in Copenhagen on 3-4 November 2025.For more information:European Strategy for Artificial Intelligence in ScienceJRC Publication: The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Scientific Research
