DATA AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: THE NEW HORIZON EUROPE CALLS 

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION MAKES MORE THAN 290 MILLION EUROS AVAILABLE FOR: Research PROJECTS that strengthen Europe's digital and technological competitiveness and contribute to the objectives of the Green Deal

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION HAS OPENED THE NEW HORIZON EUROPE CALLS: Included in the Digital - Industry and Space work programme, for a total budget made available of more than €290,000,000.

THE EUROPEAN UNION WILL INVEST 85 MILLION EUROS TO PROMOTE > RESEARCH IN DATA AND COMPUTER TECHNOLOGIES: catalyzing Innovation in Artificial Intelligence (AI). A Topic Funds Innovation in AI-Powered Data Operations. Furthermore, it will invest in large-scale pilot projects that will support industrial platforms based on the Internet of Things (IoT) and next-generation edge computing technologies that can be used in key applications and industries.

ANOTHER 206 MILLION EUROS WILL FINANCE RESEARCH PROJECTS: on technologies that will fuel Europe's digital and technological competitiveness and which will contribute to the objectives of the European Green Deal.

OF THESE 60 MILLION EUROS WILL BE INVESTED IN RESEARCH: on AI and data-related solutions to support the objectives of the European Green Deal, for example with research projects using robotic data and AI solutions to optimize energy and resources in production value chains.

ANOTHER 76 MILLION EUROS WILL BE INVESTED IN RESEARCH IN AREAS SUCH AS: AI - DATA AND ROBOTICS: with research projects that will allow robots to carry out non-repetitive tasks in everyday contexts and will see a wider integration of robots in industry and society. Other research projects will use Artificial Intelligence and Data to make software development faster and easier. Funding will also be available for research into projects involving the use of photonic technologies to improve the quality of communications networks, as well as the creation of a "photonic innovation factory" to help accelerate the use of photonic technologies in European industry.

THE REMAINING 70 MILLION EUROS WILL BE INVESTED IN PROJECTS SUCH AS: the development of cloud to edge servers which will help create an open European cloud and edge computing architecture. Another topic addressed is that of the integration of two-dimensional (2D) materials into semiconductor technologies. The funding also includes the creation of annual European awards for those who contribute to open-source software and hardware.
