REA publishes overview of MSCA research in AI

The European Commission's Research Executive Agency (REA) has publishe an overview of reearch on Artificial Intelligence carried out under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) programme. With a budget of €6.6 billion for the period 2021-27, MSCA is a research and training programme that supports the career, skills development, and mobility of researchers at all stages of their careers and from all over the world. The programme funds bottom-up research in all fields based on scientific excellence and competitive funding.

MSCA projects and fellows have long been adopting Artificial Intelligence (AI) in their research and training process and as a research topic, contributing to its uptake by the scientific community.

• Under Horizon 2020 (2014-20), there were over 500 MSCA research and training projects with a strong AI component.
• Halfway through Horizon Europe, there have already been over 500 funded projects with a strong AI component, providing training and career opportunities for over 2,000 researchers.
• In the last 10 years, MSCA has provided over € 1 billion in funding to research and training projects with a strong AI component.

Machine learning and AI feature in the top 5 thematic areas addressed by MSCA project under Horizon Europe, surpassed only by Materials Engineering.
