The advancements of Artificial intelligence (AI) in recent years have been transforming industries and societies globally. Most of the developments have been in the field of general-purpose AI (GPAI), which primarily focuses on generative AI using chatbots. The EU has therefore invested in the European High Performance Computing Join t Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) network of supercomputers, which are being adapted to train large-scale GPAI models and newer AI applications. These supercomputers are now being optimised in ecosystems known as AI Factories . In December of 2024, the EuroHPC JU

The European Interoperability Framework (EIF) was adopted by the European Commission in 2017 to provide guidance on how interoperable digital public services can be set up. This framework offers EU public administrations 47 concrete recommendations on improving governance of their interoperability activities, facilitating cross-organisational relationships, and streamlining processes that support end-to-end digital services. In order to make the recommendations actionable for users of the framework, the Commission created the EIF Toolbox . The toolbox is designed to guide national public

The European Union’s Space Programme is responsible for the implementation of space activities such as earth observation, satellite navigation, and space research. One of the main components of the programme is Copernicus , which is the European Earth Observation system. Named after European scientist and observer Nicolaus Copernicus, it offers insights drawn from satellite earth observations and in-situ (non-space) data. The information collected by Copernicus’ Sentinel satellites has been compiled and can be found on the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem (CDSE). The CDSE provides access to
The global population has now surpassed 8 billion, and it’s expected to reach 9 billion by 2037 . Every year on 11 July, the World Population Day brings attention to these numbers and the people behind them. With population figures separated by age, ethnicity, gender, and other factors, the diversity of our societies can be reflected more accurately than before. However, the most marginalised communities remain under-represented in data, having profound effects on their lives and well-being. In the last thirty years, progress has been made in improving population data gathering, analysis, and
