Focus 2) The second type of proposals (EU contribution around EUR 9.00), will address the following aspects: The second type of CSA proposals will be in charge of the maintenance and necessary developments and services provision for the AI-on-demand-platform, a public community resource, with a focus on supporting the research community. Such platform should support the research community in providing modules, codes, tools, knowledge base to share and continuously strengthen the S&T excellence. It should also provide the necessary access to resources to offer the AI, Data and Robotics R&D community an environment in which to develop new solutions and to ensure a leading position to Europe in S&T in these fields. Proposals should demonstrate how their methodology will promote excellence, by serving the needs of the scientific community. The activities of this AI-on-demand-platform funded through Horizon Europe will serve the needs of the research community while the AI-on-demand platform funded through the Digital Europe Programme will focuses on AI tools at higher TRLs, to serve the needs of the market.
