They also fund programs to foster the next generation of scholars and analysts.

The AI Gigafactories Call is the largest single AI funding instrument in Europe and one of the least like a grant. EuroHPC JU is not funding research projects; it is co-investing in the construction of up to seven physical facilities that combine massive computing power with state-of-the-art AI processors, the necessary software and cloud technology stacks, high-bandwidth connectivity and energy-efficient data centres, to provide frontier AI training, fine-tuning and inference as sovereign European services. The applicant profile follows from that: applications are open to consortia or Special Purpose Vehicles bringing together companies, public entities, investors and other partners, and a facility may sit within a single Member State or be distributed across several. This is a call for infrastructure developers and capital syndicates, not for research groups. The financial structure is co-funding rather than full funding - successful projects receive differing levels of EU and national support reflecting the size and range of sovereign services they commit to provide, against an EU and national envelope of up to 10,000,000,000 euros that is expected to mobilise at least 20,000,000,000 euros of private investment. The timeline is long and worth planning around: the submission deadline is 12 November 2026, competitive evaluation follows, selections are expected in early 2027, and operations are to commence within 18 months of selection. Note that the AI Gigafactories are a tier above the existing AI Factories - EuroHPC currently oversees 19 AI Factories and 13 AI Factory Antennas that provide free access to SMEs and startups - so organisations wanting to use European AI compute rather than build it should look to the AI Factories access calls instead. Submission is through the EU Tenders and Funding Portal.

Innovate Cities & Infrastructure (INCI) Programme - Urban Research Grants is sponsored by Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO). The INCI Programme supports interdisciplinary, practice-oriented research that pairs ETH-Domain researchers with practice partners to develop evidence-based solutions for sustainable urban development, resilient infrastructure, and effective local governance in SECO partner countries (including Ukraine) and selected EU countries. While broadly focused on urban development and infrastructure, proposals related to digital infrastructure and computing for sustainable development could be relevant.
