The European Commisson has adopted two strategies with the aim of driving adoption in key industries and putting Europe at the forefront of AI-driven science. Apply AI Strategy The Apply AI Strategy sets out how to speed up the use of AI in Europe's key industries and the public sector. It aims to make use of AI's transformative potential by promoting the adoption of AI across strategic and public sectors including healthcare, pharmaceuticals, energy, mobility, manufacturing, construction, agri-food, defence, communications and culture. It will also support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with their specific needs and help industries integrate AI into their operations. Concrete measures include establishing AI-powered advanced screening centres for healthcare and supporting the development of frontier models and agentic AI tailored to sectors such as manufacturing, environment and pharmaceuticals. AI in Science Strategy Alongside Apply AI, the AI in Science Strategy positions the EU as a hub for AI-driven scientific innovation. At its centre is RAISE - the Resource for AI Science in Europe, a virtual European institute to pool and coordinate AI resources for developing AI and applying it in science. It aims to advance the responsible and strategic integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies into the European research and innovation landscape by supporting the uptake of AI across all disciplines accelerating discoveries and breakthroughs addressing major societal challenges boosting innovation, job and growth

2025-10-06 ERCThe ERC is looking for ERC grantees to participate in the 2026 edition of the annual ‘Science is Wonderful!’ science fair. This event is aimed at primary and secondary school students and gives them the opportunity to interact with teams of researchers that showcase their work at booths through live experiments, interactive presentations, floor games, physical challenges and many other creative formats. More information on the Science is wonderful! science fair 2026 edition, what is in it for ERC grantees and what is expected from them, the evaluation criteria and the timeline is available in the application form for ERC grantees which is open until 20 October 2025.

The MareGraph project, ‘Towards an Interoperable Marine Knowledge Graph’, obtained funding under the Digital Europe topic ‘OPEN-AI – Public Sector Open Data for AI and Open Data Platform’. The project will increase the semantic, technical, and legal interoperability of three selected high-valued datasets (HVDs) all maintained by the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), which is one of the four partners of the project. This will allow the onboarding of essential marine datasets in the Common European Data Spaces. As such MareGraph will provide a structural component in the digital transition of the marine landscape. The numerous impacts of the project will benefit our seas globally in old and new ways to come.
