ADRA

AI, Data and Robotics Association

ADRA was founded in 2021 as the private side of the European Partnership on AI, Data and Robotics, one of the European Partnerships in Cluster 4 of Horizon Europe. The Partnership was officially launched when Adra signed a MoU with the European Commission on June 23, 2021. Both of the Horizon 2020 partnerships, Big Data Value PPP and SPARC PPP, achieved high impact by enhancing cohesion and engagement within the Data and Robotics ecosystems and communities. This new Partnership builds on the work of these prior partnerships and the broader European AI community.

ADRA is the European focal point for AI, Data and Robotics, and the entry point for organisations willing to collaborate and shape directly, together with the European Commission, the direction these three domains of application will take. It drives innovation, acceptance, and uptake of these technologies in order to benefit Europe. It aims to enable European sovereignty in the development and deployment of trustworthy, safe and robust AI, data and robotics compatible with EU values and regulations by 2030.

CSC joined ADRA when it was established in 2021. CSC joined ADRA to build better connections towards the industrial big data an AI community in Europe, and to scout possibilities for joining EU funding proposals under the ICT pillar.
