Building open AI infrastructure for European science
AI4EOSC is an European initiative bringing together a platform, a growing ecosystem of projects, and a network of scientific communities to make research-grade AI accessible across Europe.
Where we come from
From a single Horizon Europe grant to a living infrastructure, AI4EOSC has grown into an open platform community spanning European science.
DEEP-Hybrid-DataCloud project kicks off
This Horizon 2020 project delivers the DEEP platform, allowing researchers to build deep learning models over pan-EU e-Infrastructures.
AI4EOSC project kicks off
The Horizon Europe project begins with the goal of providing a platform for developing, deploying and sharing AI models within the European Open Science Cloud.
Early adopters go live
Projects like iMagine deploy domain-specific instances of the platform, the AI4EOSC users start exploting the platform and providing feedback for the next development cycle.
Project completes, initiative continues
The original AI4EOSC project concludes on schedule. The platform, the community and the infrastructure continue independently under the AI4EOSC Initiative.
New projects extend the ecosystem
OngoingEOSC-ARENA, FLUID-AI and other EU-funded projects join the initiative, adding AI agents, interoperability layers and new scientific communities.
Funded by Horizon Europe
The original AI4EOSC project was funded by the European Union under the Horizon Europe research and innovation programme. Associated projects within the initiative are independently funded through their own EU grants.

What we stand for
AI4EOSC is built on the belief that research-grade AI should be open, interoperable and accessible to any scientific community in Europe.
FAIR and open by default
All software is open source. Models are openly published, following the FAIR principles. Infrastructure is built on open standards. No lock-in, no black boxes.
Interoperable with EOSC
Native integration with EOSC authentication, storage and compute means researchers can start without rebuilding their stack.
Built for European science
Designed around the needs of European research institutions, following EU values on data sovereignty, ethics and sustainability.
Community-driven
Shaped by the scientific communities that use it — from marine biologists to climate scientists — and the developers who build on it.
How we work
The principles that guide every decision: from architecture to governance.
Open development
All architecture and code are public. We build in the open.
Long-term thinking
Beyond individual project cycles, we build infrastructure that outlasts funding.
Low barrier to entry
Any research community in Europe should be able to join, regardless of technical capacity.
Impact at scale
Powering open AI infrastructure across Europe — from model training to scientific communities.
