AI, Data & Robots (ADRA)
Partnership website: https://adr-association.eu/
The AI, Data and Robotics (ADR) partnership brings together industry, academia and the European Commission to
pursue innovative solutions on a large scale, pooling efforts, resources and investments to generate long-term positive impact, boost European competitiveness and technological sovereignty, as well as create jobs and growth.
The general objectives of the co-programmed European Partnership are:
- secure European’s sovereignty over AI, data and robotics technologies and know how (position and control perspective dimension);
- establish European leadership in AI, data and robotics technologies with high environmental, social and economic impact (with focus on technology and innovation dimensions);
- reinforce Europe’s strong and global competitive position in AI, data and robotics (market dimension).
The partnership will boost Europe’s competitiveness, societal well-being and environmental leadership, as leading
the world in researching, developing and deploying value-driven trustworthy AI, data and robotics based on European
fundamental rights, principles and values.
What are partnerships?
Partnerships group the EC and private and/or public partners, to coordinate and streamline the research & innovation initiatives and funding in some selected key domains.
How to use partnerships?
-
orientation
Partnerships publish strategic documents, e.g. outlining the main research and innovation challenges or key focus points. -
networking
Partnerships often organise events, such as info days, brokerage events, etc. Meet potential partners and learn about the nuances that are not visible in the official documents. -
ecosystem analysis
Partnerships typically have an advisory board, and publish impact studies of previous actions. These are good sources of information to uncover the main R&D&I players in the domain. -
steering the agenda
Partnerships collaborate with the EC on outlining the strategy and the future funding opportunities in their domain, based on input from industry, academia, and other stakeholders.

EITHOS - European Identity Theft Observatory System
The EITHOS project, funded under Horizon Europe Cluster 3 call “Online identity theft is countered”, aims to develop a “European Identity Theft Observatory System” (EITHOS). The system will provide easy access to information and intelligence about previous and current identity theft related trends to empower EU citizens, Law Enforcements Agencies (LEAs), and policy makers to further contribute to the prevention, detection, and investigation of crimes related to online identity theft. The Cyber and Data Security Lab (CDSL), part of the Law, Science, Technology and Society (LSTS) Research Group at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), is one of the 12 partners in the EITHOS consortium, contributing its vast expertise on legal aspects of data protection, cybersecurity and information security law and policy.
