AI in Science project: Stakeholder Event
On 15 May 2025, the European Commission organized an online meeting with stakeholders, including representatives from different areas of science that are using (or could use) AI in their research projects. Other ERC grantees alsotook part in that event as representatives of their respective scientific domains.
Christian Henriot was selected by the European Commission as one of the researchers/ERC grantee invited to contribute on this reflection. This was a great opportunity to provide direct input to policy makers about what initiatives the Commission could put in place to facilitate the use of AI in science.

The online workshop event was organised by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission and the Directorate General for Research and Innovation (DG RTD). The event aimed to gather perspectives on AI and discuss the future European Strategy for AI in Science, with a focus on identifying the challenges and opportunities associated with the integration of AI in scientific research.
