As a department of the European Commission, the JRC provides independent, evidence-based knowledge and science, supporting EU policies to positively impact society.
JRC’s research activities are organized using a “Portfolio” approach, which ensures that projects are defined and developed in a coordinated manner. As reliance on AI and data grows, Europe faces significant challenges, in particular in sectors such as healthcare, energy and transport. As stated in the national strategic choices for RDI policy and activities in Finland, the successful development and utilization of breakthrough technologies such as AI will strengthen Finland’s (and Europe’s) competitiveness, strategic autonomy, and its position as a global R&I actor.
The European Strategy for AI in Science, published in October 2025, establishes RAISE – a virtual institute that pools AI resources (compute, data, talent, funding) to accelerate scientific breakthroughs, from cancer therapies to climate and archaeology.
This webinar will summarize the JRC scientific contributions to this Strategy, that addresses the study of how AI shapes research activities, the implications of the AI Act for scientists in the EU, and the design of the Scientific AI Hub, a RAISE action to monitor and promote trustworthy AI across strategic scientific domains.
