RAISE Secretariat Terms of Reference
The Terms of Reference for the RAISE Secretariat pilot, hosted by the European Science Foundation, outlines the scope, roles, responsibilities and processes governing Secretariat activities in the context of the SCIANCE Coordination and Support Action. The Secretariat provides support to AI in Science Working Groups, coordination, communication and stakeholder engagement. The Terms of Reference also describes sustainability and exploitation pilots aimed at preparing a long-term RAISE structure, providing governance and operational scenarios to ensure continuity of SCIANCE outputs beyond the project duration.

AIS Summit 2026
The AI in Science Summit will convene scientists from various scientific domains, industry leaders, investors, and policymakers to explore the transformative impact of AI in scientific discovery and how Europe can drive it with a distinctive and responsible approach. The event includes high-level political sessions and thematic workshops on the impact of AI in each scientific field, focusing on driving investment and policy to unlock their potential.
AIS26, coordinated by University College Dublin and Taighde Éireann-Research Ireland, will bring together scientists, industry leaders, investors and policymakers to explore the transformative impact of artificial intelligence on scientific discovery — and how Europe can drive this transformation with a distinctive and responsible approach.
AIS26 is an official Irish Presidency of the Council of the European Union event and European AI Innovation Month flagship summit.

Updated ERA living guidelines on the responsible use of generative AI in research
The Commission has published an update of the ERA Living Guidelines on the responsible use of Generative AI in research – a set of recommendations offering simple and operational guidance to the research community to foster the adoption and responsible use of generative artificial intelligence (AI).
Updated ERA living guidelines on the responsible use of generative AI in research
The Commission has published an update of the ERA Living Guidelines on the responsible use of Generative AI in research – a set of recommendations offering simple and operational guidance to the research community to foster the adoption and responsible use of generative artificial intelligence (AI).
This revision has been limited and technical, adding to the Living Guidelines’ clarity and education value. It includes new recommendations, for example on interactions with third parties using AI during meetings or as part of the information management, and the associated risks. It also highlights the need for organisations to be aware about “hidden prompts” – instructions for AI systems hidden from human oversight.
This work was developed with the input and collaboration of countries and stakeholders across the European Research Area (ERA). Its inclusive approach remains central to the process, supported by an open feedback process for ongoing contributions and suggestions.
