     Enabling frugal, energy-efficient, and trustworthy AI
    Improving collaboration between AI systems and human researchers
  Evaluate current gaps in data access, infrastructure, skills, and support systems needed to integrate AI into science at scale.
  Involve stakeholders across research, industry, startups, civil society, and government in designing and testing possible models and frameworks.
  Develop a roadmap to better coordinate efforts between scientific disciplines and AI developers.
  Promote public engagement through activities like citizen science and awareness events.

    Expected Outcomes

Projects funded under this call should:

  Produce a strategic agenda identifying research areas where AI can enhance European science.
  Provide practical recommendations for improving EU-wide AI infrastructure, including access to data, computing, and expert talent.
  Build a community of researchers, including citizen scientists, working with AI in science.
  Promote transparency, collaboration, and open science principles.

      Eligibility

  Open to any legal entity, including those outside the EU, provided they meet the Horizon Europe criteria.
* To receive funding, entities must be based in:

      EU Member States (e.g., France, Germany, Spain, etc.)
