The "Facilitated Cooperation for AI in Science" funding call aims to support the establishment of a cohesive and well-structured AI-enabled research ecosystem across Europe. This initiative is critical for unlocking the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in advancing science and addressing key societal and technological challenges, thereby boosting the EU’s competitive edge in Research and Innovation (R&I). By leveraging AI, this program aspires to redefine research paradigms, optimize scientific workflows, and foster breakthroughs across diverse disciplines.
AI is transforming the research landscape by enabling complex analyses, enhancing predictive capabilities, and fostering automation in lab environments. This call invites Coordination and Support Actions (CSA) to create a Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) that identifies long-term challenges and opportunities where AI can deliver meaningful scientific and societal contributions.
Opening: 22 May 2025
Deadline(s): 23 Sep 2025
