National Policies for  
AI in Science

#HorizonEU

POLICY SUPPORT FACILITY (PSF) CHALLENGE - MUTUAL LEARNING EXERCISE (MLE)

Artificial Intelligence is a disruptive set of technologies with the promise to 
significantly impact all aspects of human life. The main characteristics of AI – 
extracting value from data, autonomous learning, and problem-solving – make it 
potentially transformative for research & innovation.

This MLE aims to facilitate an exchange of information, experiences and lessons 
learned as well as to identify good practices in relation to national policies for AI in 
science. The MLE will target national policy-makers and funders and will focus on 
exchanges of national practices at the operational and strategic levels. It will also 
explore synergies of national strategic approaches with those of other EU Member 
States and Associated Countries as well as strengthen national capacities to 
adapt to potential new challenges in the field of AI application in science. 

The MLE is structured along the following topics:

Topic 1: Framework conditions and funding for AI in Science.

Topic 2: Infrastructures for AI in Science.

Topic 3: Talent for AI in Science.
