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.
