How Projects Addressing AI in Industry Are Created 2025
Artificial intelligence is becoming an integral part of European industry and research, fundamentally transforming how innovative projects are created. In response, the European Commission is introducing two new AI strategies—one focused on the application of artificial intelligence in key industrial sectors, and the other dedicated to the scientific use of AI. These initiatives bring new investment and project opportunities for Slovak institutions and companies, particularly through the Horizon Europe programme.
On this occasion, the National Horizon Office invites you to the webinar “How Projects Addressing AI in Industry Are Created 2025,” which will take place online on 25 November 2025 from 13:00 to 14:30. The event is intended for representatives of companies, research organisations, universities, clusters, innovation centres, and all those planning to submit project proposals incorporating elements of artificial intelligence in the fields of industry and digitalisation.
During the webinar, participants will learn about the upcoming 2026–2027 Work Programme for Cluster 4 (Industry and Digitalisation), including thematic areas and “destinations” under which the new calls will fall. They will also gain an overview of how to effectively integrate the use of artificial intelligence into industry-oriented project proposals in order to better meet the expectations of the European Commission.
A special part of the event will be an interactive panel discussion with industry experts, who will share their experience with preparing and implementing projects under the Horizon Europe programme. Among the panelists will also be our project manager, Lucia Malíčková (NSCC Slovakia), who will explain how projects focused on AI in industrial environments are developed and how to effectively integrate the capacities of the Slovak supercomputing centre into them.
The webinar offers a unique opportunity to understand new trends in the field of AI, gain insight into upcoming opportunities within the Horizon Europe programme, and ask anything you are interested in—from the initial project idea to consortium building and proposal preparation.
Online Lecture: HPC & AI – Competition or Collaboration? 7 Nov - On 26 November 2025 at 10:00, we are hosting a special online lecture dedicated to the rapidly evolving topic of the interplay between high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI). Our guest will be Erwin Laure, one of the most prominent figures in the European HPC ecosystem.
Success story: The Future of Soil Hidden in Data 5 Nov - High-Performance Computing (HPC) offers researchers the ability to process enormous volumes of data and uncover connections that would otherwise remain hidden. Today, it is no longer just a tool for technical disciplines – it is increasingly valuable in social and environmental research as well. A great example is a project that harnessed the power of HPC to gain deeper insight into the relationship between humans, soil, and the landscape.
AI-Driven Archaeology with LLMs — Detecting Archaeological Sites from Aerial Imagery 30 Oct - Objavte, ako umelá inteligencia a veľké jazykové modely menia spôsob, akým odhaľujeme stopy minulosti. Webinár priblíži, ako pokročilé techniky umelej inteligencie inšpirované LLM dokážu analyzovať letecké a LiDARové snímky a detegovať archeologické lokality s bezprecedentnou presnosťou. Dr. Daniel Canedo z Univerzity v Aveire predstaví praktické príklady, v ktorých Vision Transformers a multimodálne učenie odhaľujú skryté vzory v krajine a spájajú moderné technológie s kultúrnym dedičstvom.
