ProgrammesTo support AI development from the lab to the market, the EU is setting up Testing & Experimentation Facilities (TEFs) for AI.
Through the Digital Europe programme the Commission is co-funding the TEFs to support AI developers to bring trustworthy AI to the market more efficiently, and facilitate its uptake in Europe. TEFs are specialised large-scale reference sites open to all technology providers across Europe to test and experiment at scale state-of-the art AI solutions, including both soft-and hardware products and services, e.g. robots, in real-world environments.
The selected TEFs projects started on January 1st 2023. They focus on the following high-impact sectors:
TEFs can also contribute to the implementation of the Artificial Intelligence Act by supporting regulatory sandboxes in cooperation with competent national authorities for supervised testing and experimentation.
TEFs will be an important part of building the AI ecosystem of excellence and trust to support Europe’s strategic leadership in AI.

Digital, Industry & Space AI Continent
The Digital Europe-funded project LLM-Bridge has issued a cascade funding call to fund a high-quality, EU-based incubator capable of supporting startups in the transforming of early-stage GenAI ideas into viable, scalable, and ethically compliant ventures. read more
The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action (MSCA) European Innovative Training Network “PBNv2 - Next generation Pass-By Noise approaches for new powertrain vehicles” started in May 2017. Their research has the shared objective of investigating the possibilities to decrease pass-by noise of vehicles.
The project is a collaboration between 17 research institutions and companies in the European automotive R&D and provides a learning environment for 14 PhD fellows. The Belgian partner is the Noise and Vibration Research Group of KU Leuven, and this project is one of the many Horizon 2020 MSCA Innovative Training Networks that the KU Leuven research group participates in.
