Policy Briefing: Apply AI Strategy

Published on | 2 months ago

Programmes Digital Europe AI Continent Deployment: Best use of technologies

The European Commission's Apply AI Strategy explains how the EU moves from developing AI to using it at scale in real economic sectors and public administrations. It is Europe's central sectoral AI strategy. It addresses the industrial and public application of AI and, together with AI in Science, forms the strategic core of the EU AI system under the umbrella of the AI Continent Action Plan. Unlike earlier EU AI initiatives (that focused mainly on research and pilot projects), the strategy places strong emphasis on large-scale deployment, sector ownership and operational use of AI solutions. It focuses on sectoral flagships, AI infrastructures, data spaces, regulatory support, and a European AI-first decision-making logic.

Knowledge of underlying EU policies and legislations is a key element in Digital Europe proposals as they play an important role in the “relevance” evaluation criterion. This Policy Briefing is one of several briefings prepared by DEP4ALL, the NCP Network for the Digital Europe programme, to support applicants with summaries of relevant EU initiatives.

ERC grants awarded to professor Inez Germeys

Professor Inez Germeys leads the Center for Contextual Psychiatry at KU Leuven, which is a large multi-disciplinary research group focusing on the interaction between the person and the environment in the development of psychopathology. She has received a European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator grant (INTERACT) and Proof of Concept grant (IMPACT). With these grants professor Germeys and her team researched a new mobile self-management therapy for patients with a psychotic disorder. The Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in Daily Life (ACT-DL) was further developed for the clinical environment. In line with that the Horizon 2020 IMMERSE project aims to thoroughly evaluate strategies, processes, and outcomes of implementing a digital mobile mental health solution.
