The program includes over 1,200 participants from dozens of countries, discussions on security, multimodal models, open science, ethics, and new forms of cooperation between universities and technology companies.
Ukraine was represented by Dmytro CHUMACHENKO, Associate Professor of the Department of Mathematical Modeling and Artificial Intelligence at the Kharkiv Institute of Applied Sciences, who is the country's representative in the ERA Action “Facilitating and accelerating the use of AI in science and research in the EU”.
The summit officially launched RAISE - Resource for AI Science in Europe, a new flagship initiative of the European Commission, which is to become the central infrastructure for the development of artificial intelligence in science. RAISE is a European research ecosystem that combines resources, data, computing power, funding, and talent for working with AI. The project aims to make Europe a world leader in the use of AI for scientific discoveries.
The main idea is that by 2027, Europe should build a common ecosystem where AI becomes not just a tool for science, but an environment of cooperation, trust and openness. This means not only access to shared computing power and data, but also the formation of a new culture of digital humanism. That is, ethics, transparency, research integrity and mutual learning.
For Ukraine, participation in this process is an opportunity to be a co-creator of a new European scientific infrastructure and promote our interests in the EU. We already have real experience in integrating AI in many areas, including the defense sector. Now we can bring it into a common European context at a time when the EU is forming rules, standards and funding mechanisms for a new era of science with AI.
