A new online platform to connect researchers, infrastructures, and funders to accelerate AI scientific discovery across Europe
Dublin, Ireland, 15 October
Researchers across Europe now have a single place to find the people, data, computing power, and expertise they need to put AI to work on science’s biggest challenges. Today (15th October 2026) RAISE, the Resource for AI Science in Europe, launches the RAISE Hub. The Hub brings together information, initiatives and communities on AI in science in one shared space and opens two connected services: the RAISE Forum for collaboration and the RAISE Observatory for mapping the European AI in science landscape.
Currently in its pilot phase, RAISE is coordinated by the SCIANCE project. Through a community-driven approach, SCIANCE brings together scientists, AI researchers, infrastructures and policymakers to identify strategic scientific challenges for which AI can have the greatest impact and accelerate the adoption of trustworthy and sustainable AI methods for scientific research across Europe. Through the Hub, users can access the RAISE Forum to exchange knowledge and collaborate, and the RAISE Observatory to explore the European AI in Science ecosystem.
“Europe has a unique opportunity to bring together its scientific excellence, data and computing capacity, identify shared community priorities and build the momentum needed for a competitive yet sustainable use of AI in science. RAISE will succeed only with the active involvement of the research community. We invite researchers across all disciplines to join us and help shape the future of AI-enabled science in Europe.” – Jonas L’Haridon, SCIANCE Coordinator, ESF
Researchers across Europe are invited to connect with RAISE through the following pathways:
Explore the RAISE Hub, access the Forum and Observatory, join the community and help shape the future of AI in Science in Europe.

A new online platform to connect researchers, infrastructures, and funders to accelerate AI scientific discovery across Europe
As part of the upcoming RAISE Hub rollout, the RAISE Forum will officially launch on Thursday, October 15, at AIS26.
SCIANCE is launching the Registry of Good Practices in AI-enabled Science, which is a growing collection of practical examples demonstrating the effective and responsible use of AI across different scientific disciplines and research settings. The Registry is designed to capture the practical experience of the research community and identify lessons that can be shared across fields.
SCIANCE session at AIS26
On 15 and 16 October 2026, the AI in Science Summit 2026 (AIS26), organised by the European Commission and the Irish Presidency of the Council, will take place in Dublin, Ireland.
In July 2026, SCIANCE is featured in the ERCIM News special theme issue ‘E-values: Statistical Testing for the 21st Century’
SCIANCE has concluded its call for experts for the AI in Science Working Groups (AISWG). Out of 665 applicants, 150 experts were selected.
The SCIANCE consortium has been positively evaluated and invited to enter Horizon Europe grant preparation, with Commissioner Ekaterina Zaharieva highlighting its key role in supporting the development and coordination of RAISE through a community-driven, bottom-up approach.
