ADRA-e is a Coordination and Support Action funded by the European Commission under Horizon Europe, Grant Agreement 101070336. The consortium is made up of 15 organisations spanning from world-leading experts from AI, Data and Robotics, Research organisations, Large Enterprises and SMEs. The partners are well-connected to the founding associations of Adra and other relevant European Partnerships.

The development and deployment of trustworthy, safe and robust Artificial Intelligence, Data and Robotics (ADR) which uphold EU values and regulations are at the core of the ongoing digital transformation in Europe. The European ADR ecosystem is evolving at a fast pace with the ADR Partnership and the recently created Adra association, at the heart of realising Europe’s ambitious goal of digital sovereignty by 2030.

The brand new Adra-e project will actively support the ADR Partnership in order to engage in an all inclusive dialogue with the actors involved in the ADR ecosystem, mobilising cross border and cross sector collaboration in order to create the conditions for a sustainable, effective, multi-layered, comprehensive, and coherent European AI, Data and Robotics ecosystem.

The Adra-e project aims to: Support the update and implementation of the AI, Data and Robotics Strategic Research, Innovation and Deployment Agenda; Map the AI, Data and Robotics landscape and infrastructures to deliver services and build connections between structured initiatives; Increase innovation capacity and adoption of core AI, Data and Robotics technology with applications; Raise awareness of the Adra association and partnership to citizens, businesses, public administrators, and educators; Support the development of standards and regulations maintaining European technological sovereignty.

Adra-e will form close ties with other initiatives in the ADR ecosystem including the ADR Partnership, Adra and its founding organisations BDVA, CLAIRE, ELLIS, EurAI and EuRobotics, and the recently funded CSA project AI4Europe.
