The AI4EOSC initiative was represented at the EOSC Symposium 2026, held in Florence from 14 to 16 October, with a dedicated booth showcasing three new projects within its ecosystem: FLUID-AI4EOSC, GenAI4Earth and EOSC-ARENA. The three projects shared a joint booth where visitors could learn about their objectives, approaches, use cases, and check live demos. Together, the projects extend the AI4EOSC ecosystem with interoperability, agentic and generative AI, and generative AI applied to Earth sciences.
EOSC ARENA presented three demos, each covering the project’s core outcomes in the first months: a service to interact with AI agents, a service to interact with LLMs, and a service to develop Federated AI solutions for LLMs. Check these demos here:

FLUID-AI4EOSC presented its approach to data and model liquidity, which aims to extend the notion of FAIR. It also introduced the eight use cases that will pilot its developments, which are linked to a key Research Infrastructures.
GenAI4Earth presented its goal of delivering reusable and trustworthy generative AI services for Earth System Sciences, integrating FAIR data and models into EOSC. Its three use cases were explored, which cover urban environments, agro-forestry and seismology.
By bringing these three projects together, AI4EOSC strengthens its role as a reference scientific Data Lab and AI platform for empowering European open science.
The EOSC Symposium 2026, held in Florence from 14 to 16 October, is the flagship annual event of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) community. Organised by the EOSC Association with the support of the EOSC Gravity project, this year’s edition focused on the theme “Connecting users, data, and services”, bringing together around 500 participants, including policymakers, researchers, research infrastructure representatives and other key stakeholders.
