Summary
On Oct 15, 2026, at the European AI in Science Summit in Dublin, the European Commission launched the RAISE (Resource for AI Science in Europe) pledging initiative for AI in Science Enablers. It seeks in-kind and other contributions from industry and philanthropic organisations, such as access to frontier AI models, computing capacity, software licences, data and training. Initial commitments came from the Novo Nordisk Foundation, Nvidia, Elsevier, Sanofi, Frontiers, Mistral and Google DeepMind. The Commission also presented updated Living Guidelines on the Responsible Use of Generative AI in Research, and launched the RAISE Hub, RAISE Forum and RAISE Observatory. Mistral AI and CERN announced a partnership on a physics foundation model.
Why it matters
The initiative is part of the AI in Science Strategy and aims to mobilise support for European researchers beyond public funding. Organisations wishing to take part must make a concrete pledge. It will be reviewed annually, and the updated guidelines give researchers practical guidance on generative and agentic AI.
