The European Commisson has adopted two strategies with the aim of driving adoption in key industries and putting Europe at the forefront of AI-driven science.

Apply AI Strategy

The Apply AI Strategy sets out how to speed up the use of AI in Europe's key industries and the public sector. It aims to make use of AI's transformative potential by promoting the adoption of AI across strategic and public sectors including healthcare, pharmaceuticals, energy, mobility, manufacturing, construction, agri-food, defence, communications and culture. It will also support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with their specific needs and help industries integrate AI into their operations.

Concrete measures include establishing AI-powered advanced screening centres for healthcare and supporting the development of frontier models and agentic AI tailored to sectors such as manufacturing, environment and pharmaceuticals.

AI in Science Strategy

Alongside Apply AI, the AI in Science Strategy positions the EU as a hub for AI-driven scientific innovation. At its centre is RAISE - the Resource for AI Science in Europe, a virtual European institute to pool and coordinate AI resources for developing AI and applying it in science. It aims to advance the responsible and strategic integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies into the European research and innovation landscape by

  • supporting the uptake of AI across all disciplines
  • accelerating discoveries and breakthroughs
  • addressing major societal challenges
  • boosting innovation, job and growth

ERC grants awarded to professor Inez Germeys

Professor Inez Germeys leads the Center for Contextual Psychiatry at KU Leuven, which is a large multi-disciplinary research group focusing on the interaction between the person and the environment in the development of psychopathology. She has received a European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator grant (INTERACT) and Proof of Concept grant (IMPACT). With these grants professor Germeys and her team researched a new mobile self-management therapy for patients with a psychotic disorder. The Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in Daily Life (ACT-DL) was further developed for the clinical environment. In line with that the Horizon 2020 IMMERSE project aims to thoroughly evaluate strategies, processes, and outcomes of implementing a digital mobile mental health solution.
