Networks of Excellence

A community of AI & Robotics researchers

The Commission has invested more than EUR 100 million through Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe to create a network of AI & Robotics Excellence Centres. This initiative focuses on tackling major challenges in Trustworthy AI, bringing together over 1000 researchers and 100 industry organizations to unite the fragmented research landscape and build a stronger, cohesive European AI & Robotics community. 

The EU AI & Robotics NoEs community includes the following nine projects: 

The EU-funded ELIAS project investigates how AI can help reduce computational costs, model the effects of policy decisions on society, and impact individuals. It will blend foundational research from academia with research geared towards industry applications. In addition, the project will establish a science-entrepreneurship track to facilitate development of innovative AI solutions that contribute to sustainability.

The EU-funded dAIEDGE project will unite leading European research centres, universities, and industrial partners into a network of excellence (NoE) for distributed and scalable AI at the edge. It aims to seamlessly connect various research facilities, laboratories, digital innovation hubs, industrial stakeholders, and ongoing AI projects. By accelerating research and innovation, dAIEDGE will facilitate the digital and green transitions through advanced edge AI technologies and applications.

The EU-funded HumanE-AI-Net project brings together leading European research centres, universities and industrial enterprises into a network of centres of excellence. The challenge is to develop robust, trustworthy AI systems that can ‘understand’ humans, adapt to complex real-world environments and interact appropriately in complex social settings. HumanE-AI-Net will lay the foundations for designing the principles for a new science that will make AI based on European values and closer to Europeans.
