The European Laboratory for Artificial Intelligence (ELAI) establishes the distributed, virtual institute built on excellent research institutions, creating the structure for leading researchers to tackle, at the European level, frontier AI research challenges, including in efficiency, safety and security. ELAI brings together 17 sites, 33 partners and 21 supporters in 17 countries, including Japan and Canada, building on a decade of collaboration through ELLIS. It is led by the University of Copenhagen, and its activities begin on 1 January 2027. ELAI is funded by the European Commission under the “Science for AI” Pillar of the Resource for AI Science in Europe (RAISE) with €17M seed funding over five years.
