New panel Fundamentals of AI (PE12) as of 2028 ERC calls

As of the 2028 ERC calls, under the EU’s future Research and Innovation framework programme (2028-2034), a new thematic evaluation panel on Fundamentals of AI in the domain Physical Sciences and Engineering (PE12) will be established. The new panel will cover fundamental and basic research aimed at advancing the foundations, methods, and theories of artificial intelligence - rather than applications of AI in specific domains, which can be submitted to other panels. The new PE12 scope will include machine learning, reasoning, intelligent and autonomous systems, computer vision, natural language processing, generative and multimodal AI, and its mathematical and statistical foundations. The establishment of the new panel will bring the total to 29 evaluation panels (9 panels in Life Sciences; 8 in Social Sciences and Humanities and 12 in PE). More information on this news is available here and on the panels here.

It serves as a bridge linking academia, industry, policymakers, and citizens”. The topics covered in the factsheet are: KV in the ERA Part of the WIDERA Programme ERA KV: Key Milestones HE: KV Funding Actions EU Tools and Resources for KV Activities and Key Studies for KV Information and Advice NCP Flanders offers info sheets on the following topics Knowledge Valorisation & Results Boosters in the HORIZON Europe context and the Horizon Results Platform.

INSPIRE - Centre of Excellence on inclusive gender equality in R&I

Funded by Horizon Europe, under call topic HORIZON-WIDERA-2021-ERA-01-80, INSPIRE is Europe's Centre of Excellence on inclusive gender equality in research and innovation. It relies on four Knowledge and Support Hubs to create knowledge in the areas of sustaining change, widening participation, intersectionality and innovation. Moreover, it supports stakeholders in their journey to become more inclusive through 12 Communities of Practice. In this way, INSPIRE aims to develop both cutting-edge knowledge and innovative strategies for gender equality in the European Research Area. INSPIRE brings together 14 partners. The Belgian partner in this project is UHasselt.
