On 12–13 November 2026, partners of the RenAI project met at Suihub Athens for the project’s kick-off meeting. Suite5 is one of the partners.
RenAI (Responsible AI Infrastructures for Scientific Excellence) is a Horizon Europe project coordinated by the ATHENA Research Center. Over the next 36 months, it will help European research infrastructures adopt AI in a responsible, trustworthy and reusable way. This includes AI-readiness services, foundation models for science, a research assistant (coResearcher), and domain-specific models for areas including atmospheric science, neuroscience, biodiversity, omics and geosciences.
The first day covered the project’s overall organisation and the work packages on coordination, requirements and community engagement, AI-readiness infrastructure, and dissemination and exploitation. On the second day, partners discussed the coResearcher and the foundation models. They also worked in parallel groups on the six domain-specific applications and agreed on compute resources and the timeline.
Suite5 leads RenAI’s communication activities, including the project website and social media channels. It also contributes to the technical work packages, building on its experience in AI tooling and regulatory compliance, including the AI Act and GDPR.
The RenAI website is live at www.eosc-renai.eu, and the project is on LinkedIn, YouTube and Mastodon as @eosc_renai.
RenAI has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe programme under grant agreement No 101291378.
