ELIGIBLE ORGANISATIONS

The aim is to support existing or the creation of up to one National Competence Centre (NCC) in a maximum number of European High-Performance Computing (HPC) Joint Undertaking Participating States. The NCCs will provide HPC services to industry (in particular to SMEs), academia and public administrations, delivering tailored/modular solutions for a wide variety of users, with an aim to ease and foster the transition towards wider uptake of HPC in Europe.

ELIGIBLE ORGANISATIONS

The action under the second work-strand, the National Coalitions for Digital Skills and Jobs, will be implemented through a coordination and support action and will aim to further extend the activities of National Coalitions’ websites established under CEF calls in 2019 and 2020 as well as support the creation of new websites in Member States who do not have any National Coalitions yet.

ELIGIBLE ORGANISATIONS

European large language foundation model: this action will co-fund activities involving a number of developers, to scale-up a well selected, open-source foundation model to be made available to EU industrial and public services users and to the AI developer community, ensuring coverage of all the official languages of the Member States as well as the most socially and economically relevant ones, thereby maximizing the impact within the bounds of the technology. This model will be eventually applicable to broader types of uses and applications.

ELIGIBLE ORGANISATIONS

Metabolic MRI has the potential to provide information about changes in tissue metabolism which can precede macroscopic tissue changes seen with standard MRI. For example, this emerging technology can provide early detection of changes in tissue metabolism and fast feedback on treatment effectiveness, a crucial aspect of finding effective cancer therapy. The development of AI techniques for the analysis of quantum-enhanced metabolic MRI images could substantially enhance the capabilities of this new technology, transforming the process into a more automated, personalised and efficient one.

ELIGIBLE ORGANISATIONS

Adequate measures of quality assurance and quality monitoring, as well as activities leading to mutual learning and exchange of good practices, will be implemented. This action will increase the Commission’s understanding of the factors behind the current gender imbalance, and of effective measures to change the status quo.

ELIGIBLE ORGANISATIONS

The infrastructure will act as advisory point, offer awareness raising and community building. It will support SMEs to onboard the large language models in their production workflows. The work will be carried out in close collaboration with national initiatives, the Data Spaces, the AI on demand platform, Testing and Experimentation Facilities, Digital Innovation Hubs, the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking’s supercomputing facilities and in synergy with the open-source foundation model action. The consortium that will implement this action should be composed by representatives of Member States.

ELIGIBLE ORGANISATIONS

Through federating Member States efforts, this action will directly contribute to preserving the linguistic and cultural diversity in Europe while effectively implementing the European Common Data Infrastructure and Service MCP’s objectives in the area of language technologies. By providing the necessary data and model adaptation capacities, the action will have a strong impact on the deployment of large language foundation models and their applications such as generative AI. This federated effort will be established around two work strands.

ELIGIBLE ORGANISATIONS

The overall objective of this topic is to accelerate innovation and trustworthy AI by providing a range of services and tools to providers of AI systems, in particular to SMEs, to prepare for and facilitate compliance with the upcoming AI Act.

ELIGIBLE ORGANISATIONS

This topic aims at providing support and coordination at EU level for AI regulatory sandboxes established under the future AI Act, with a view to scaling up the corresponding activities once the AI Act is fully applicable. Depending on the outcome of the legislative process, the corresponding action should also contribute to the implementation at EU level of other tasks related to regulatory sandboxes as envisaged in the AI Act.

ELIGIBLE ORGANISATIONS

Proposal(s) should foresee the deployment of the first version of a common European energy data space and its infrastructure on the basis of the blueprint elaborated under ongoing preparatory actions. Any additional existing deployments (federated data sources or data hubs) in the Member States or at European level, should be considered and integrated as far as possible.
