The call, HORIZON-JU-EUROHPC-2026-COAIF-03 which has an indicative budget of EUR 25 million, invites consortia to submit proposals for a Research and Innovation Action that will address three specific challenges:
- Coordinating and networking of AI Factories and Antennas by building common service standards and provide a harmonised experience to users. The aim is to leverage synergies and complementarities that AI Factories and AI Factory Antennas have and coordinate their collaboration.
- Networking of AIF Data Labs by supporting the connection of Data Labs across Europe into a shared framework, this project will enable the secure and efficient sharing of data and tools between different organisations and countries. This will be made possible through the use of a common platform, called Simpl, which will facilitate the exchange of data and ensure that it is done in a way that is compliant with European regulations and standards.
- Provision of EU open web data by developing, deploying, and operating a European federated web data service to ensure sovereignty in the open web data also collaborating with existing EU initiatives providing web data services and integrate the EU open web service into the AIF Data Labs ecosystem. This will provide easy access to up-to-date, rich, high-quality open web data that are compliant with EU regulations and values.
