AIMLI: Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Innovations: Showcasing Funded European Projects

In recent years, the European Commission has significantly increased its investment in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) research as part of its strategy to position Europe as a global leader in digital innovation. Through initiatives like Horizon Europe and the Digital Europe Programme, billions of euros have been allocated to support collaborative projects that harness the transformative power of AI and ML to address critical societal, economic, and environmental challenges. 

Key areas of focus include fostering sustainable development, advancing healthcare technologies, boosting industrial competitiveness, and enhancing digital sovereignty. Notably, the Commission's efforts prioritize ethical AI development and the promotion of trustworthy and inclusive technologies aligned with European values. 

This Special Session aims to showcase the most innovative and impactful projects funded under these frameworks, offering a platform for the dissemination of results and the exchange of ideas. Contributors are encouraged to present their achievements and share lessons learned, with the goal of inspiring further advancements and collaborations in the field.

This Special Session aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, and innovators to present and discuss the outcomes of European projects funded by the European Commission that leverage advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques. Selected contributions will provide insights into cutting-edge solutions developed in areas such as healthcare, energy, Industry 4.0, sustainable mobility, smart agriculture, and digital governance. 

The session's objective is to highlight the role of AI and ML in addressing global challenges, fostering digital transformation, sustainability, and social inclusion. We invite authors to submit reports on case studies, innovative methodologies, developed platforms, and the socio-economic impacts of their projects.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• Development and implementation of AI/ML algorithms for solving complex problems.

• Practical applications in European projects and their societal impact.

• Challenges and opportunities in integrating AI and ML technologies at a European scale.

• Transnational and multidisciplinary collaborations in funded projects.

• Evaluation of technological and economic outcomes.

This Special Session offers a unique opportunity to stimulate dialogue among academics, industry leaders, and policymakers and to explore how AI-driven European projects can shape the future of innovation.

AIMLI is part of the International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN)
