ProgrammesThe EuroHPC Joint Undertaking has adopted an update to its 2026 Work Programme, securing funding for AI Gigafactories and clarifying the conditions for its allocation.
Funding for the AI Gigafactories will combine EU funding, contributions from participating countries, and private investments. EU financial support comes from three EU programmes: Digital Europe Programme, Horizon Europe and Connecting Europe Facility - Digital.
The planned EU contribution amounts to €1 billion in total and is expected to cover 17% of the estimated construction costs of the AI Gigafactories.
The next steps expected include securing funding commitments from interested countries, joint procurement by EuroHPC JU and participating countries to select the best offers, and signing hosting agreements with selected consortia.
We offer news and event updates, covering all domains and topics of Horizon Europe, Digital Europe & EDF (and occasionally, for ongoing projects, Horizon 2020).

The YoPA project, ‘a youth-centred preventive action approach towards co-created implementation of socially and physically activating environmental interventions’ obtained funding from Horizon Europe’s Health Cluster. The project addresses the multifaceted challenges of physical inactivity and health inequalities through a unique participatory approach. The project places teenagers between 12 and 18 years old in vulnerable situations at the forefront of the intervention process. The Institute of Tropical Medicine is a partner in the project and will conduct a Realist Evaluation to understand how youth co-creation contributes to improved adolescent health and well-being in four cities in Denmark, Netherlands, Nigeria and South Africa. By integrating its results and sharing its approach in an open access Toolbox, ITM aims to contribute to fostering sustainable, youth-led solutions for healthier urban environments.
