Programmes Digital, Industry & Space HPC AI ContinentThe EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) has launched two calls for expressions of interest to select hosting entities that will host and operate AI-optimised supercomputers, AI experimental platforms and AI factories across Europe, to be funded under the Digital Europe programme.
EuroHPC will deploy AI-dedicated supercomputing and service infrastructures to support the further development of a highly competitive and innovative AI Ecosystem in the European Union.
The AI Factories initiative seeks to establish a number of comprehensive one-stop shops for AI users, including start-ups, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and scientific researchers. They will provide streamlined access to a wide range of AI services, including essential tools, skills development, and user support. The aim of AI factories is to provide the European scientific community at large with enhanced access to AI optimised computing capabilities for the large-scale training and development of general-purpose AI models, and for the development, validation and running of emerging AI applications.
The two calls for expressions of interest are each tailored to different types of hosting entities:
Both calls have multiple cut-off dates and will remain open until the final deadline on 31 December 2025. The first cut-off deadline for applications is 4 November 2024.
More information on the two calls can be found in the EuroHPC press release.

The Horizon2020 twinning project ScreenME has as its objective to enhance excellence in screen media entrepreneurship at Tallinn University (TLU). To do so, ScreenME has established a network of universities across Europe that aim to improve research into and teaching of entrepreneurship for the screen media industry. ScreenME will develop a teaching course and will kick off research initiatives and projects on entrepreneurial activities in media organisations. The research group on ‘Studies in Media, Innovation and Technology (SMIT)’ of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) is partner in the network and is involved in two cross-cutting activities of the project: support for early stage researchers and developing stakeholder involvement.
