The AI-BOOST AI Challenge Competition is an EU-funded open challenge prize programme designed to advance research and innovation in key generative AI domains. It follows a two-phase structure (Spark and Advance) to identify, support, and accelerate promising AI solutions. Participants develop and validate AI-based approaches addressing predefined technological challenges, with financial prizes awarded at different stages. TYPE OF PROJECTS TO BE FUNDED : Development of AI-based solutions addressing specific generative AI challenges, including algorithm design, model training, validation, and demonstration, progressing from concept (TRL 2–3) to proof of concept (TRL 4–5). SECTORS / DOMAIN : Artificial intelligence, specifically generative AI applied to autonomous robotics and engineering design and simulation. INDIVIDUAL OR CONSORTIUM : Both individual applicants and entities, including teams and consortia from academia and industry, are allowed.…
