ENFIELD: European Lighthouse to Manifest Trustworthy and Green AI

Project description

AI development across sectors, from healthcare to space

Rapid advancements in AI technology have brought both opportunities and challenges to Europe. Ensuring the development, deployment and acceptance of adaptive, green, human-centric and trustworthy AI has become a pressing issue. With this in mind, the EU-funded ENFIELD project will establish a European Centre of Excellence to build up these scientific pillars deemed essential for successful AI development across sectors like healthcare, energy, manufacturing and space. With a consortium of 30 members from 18 countries including leading educational institutions, industry giants, SMEs and public sector representatives, ENFIELD is forging a network to deliver over 75 unique AI solutions, 180 high-impact publications, and strategic documents and extensive outreach efforts.

Objective

ENFIELD will create a unique European Centre of Excellence that excels the fundamental research in the scientific pillars of Adaptive, Green, Human-Centric, and Trustworthy AI that are new, strategic and of paramount importance to successful AI development, deployment, and acceptance in Europe and will further advance the research within verticals of healthcare, energy, manufacturing and space by attracting the best talents, technologies and resources from world-class research and industry players in Europe and by carrying out top-level research activities in synchronisation with industry challenges to reinforce a competitive EU position in AI and create significant socio-economic impact for the benefit of European citizens and businesses.

ENFIELD will develop, maintain, scale-up and sustain a vibrant European network on AI composed of 30 consortium members from 18 countries, including top-level education and research organisations, large scale businesses, SMEs, and public sector representatives jointly addressing critical issues of research and innovation frontiers in this new topic of the European AI Lighthouse.

ENFIELD will provide high impact outputs such as >75 unique AI solutions (algorithms, methods, simulations, services, data sets and prototypes), 180 scientific high-impact publications and 200 peer-reviewed presentations, four strategic documents, namely the Common Research Roadmap and Vision, the dynamic Safety and Security Risk Assessment Framework, the White Paper and the Gender and Ethics Framework. The exchange and innovation schemes planned in Open Calls, which will grant financial support to >76 individual researchers and 18 small-scale projects, education, and training activities such as summer schools and hackathons, and a set of well-designed outreach methods and activities will further contribute to the ENFIELD community engagement, enlargement, and continuity.
