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.
Artificial Intelligence and a Supercomputer as a New Weapon Against Environmental Disasters 26 Mar - Scientists from Nitra, Slovakia are teaching machines to predict industrial failures before they can cause damage. Thanks to collaboration with the European supercomputer LUMI, they have developed a digital “guardian” capable of detecting pipeline leaks or manufacturing faults with high accuracy—helping protect both the environment and companies’ budgets.
The Slovak Recipe for Fair Play and Happier Players 25 Mar - Do you play games on your phone and sometimes feel like the game just doesn’t understand you? Experts from Nitra, Slovakia, have used one of Europe’s most powerful supercomputers to change that. Thanks to the Italian giant named Leonardo, they discovered how to read between the lines of player behavior and make the gaming experience more personal and fair.
