Large AI Grand Challenge (AI BOOST)
The purpose of the Large AI Grand Challenge is to foster the development of large-scale AI models in Europe and to substantially increase the visibility of Europe’s activity in this field.
The competition will reward innovative startups and SMEs for devising ambitious strategies and making commitments to develop large-scale AI models that will provide a competitive edge for Europe.
The expected outcome of the Large AI Grand Challenge is the selection of up to four proposals that will receive each up to 250 k€ in funding to create innovative foundational language models that will outperform state-of-the-art systems in a number of relevant tasks. The development of these models should necessarily involve the use of High-Performance Computing (HPC). The submission deadline is 16 January 2024.
To be eligible to apply to the Large AI Grand Challenge, applicants must meet the four following criteria:
- Be a single legal entity that is a small or medium-sized enterprise (including startups)
- Have technical capacity AND experience working on large-scale AI models. Also consider that projects must focus exclusively on civil applications;
- Be established in one of the Member States (MS) of the European Union (EU), including overseas countries and territories (OCTs).
- So, don't apply if you are: (part of a) consortium, a university or research centre, an ngo or public organisation or a large company.
Full information can be found on the call website.
Extra: there is an info session on 12 December.

MareGraph - Towards an Interoperable Marine Knowledge Graph
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.
