Collaboration interests (future-oriented)
AIR Institute is open to a wide range of collaboration opportunities depending on the call and consortium needs. While our core is AI and advanced computing, we regularly work in multidisciplinary settings and can support projects that require strong technological components alongside non-digital dimensions (e.g., sectoral pilots, validation environments, stakeholder ecosystems, training and capacity-building, and innovation uptake).

What we are looking for

  • Consortia to join for upcoming calls (EU and international programmes)

  • New partners to build future consortia with (research organisations, universities, industry, public authorities, NGOs and innovation ecosystems)

We are happy to connect early, share relevant references, and explore how AIR Institute can contribute to your future proposal.
