    The European Commission has opened calls worth EUR 140m to advance the roll out of Artificial Intelligence (AI), promote advanced digital skills, expand the network of European Digital Innovation Hubs and fight disinformation.

    Of these €140 million under the EU’s Digital Europe Programme (DIGITAL), €55 million is made available to introduce generative AI in public administration and in the agri-food sector, as well as to ensure regulatory compliance alongside support to the Alliance on Processors and Semiconductor Technologies and data spaces.

    To hone advanced digital skills in the EU, an additional €27 million will help establish four new digital skills academies on quantum, AI and virtual worlds.

    Calls worth €11 million will focus on completing and expanding the EDIH network in associated countries, as well as supporting a reinforced AI focus.

    The Commission will also channel €47 million towards the roll-out and best use of new digital technologies, while also supporting the network of Safer Internet Centres. Under this €47 million call, €5 million will go towards the creation of a European Network of Fact-Checkers. Key elements will include a fact-checkers protection scheme against harassment, a repository of fact-checks, and a fact-checking response capacity, including for emergency situations.

    All four calls close on 2 September 2025. Both the advanced digital skills and EDIH network calls contribute to the Strategic Technologies for Europe Platform (STEP) objectives – the Commission’s initiative to boost the development and manufacturing of critical technologies in the EU.

    The new calls are the first set of calls under the EU’s 2025-2027 DIGITAL Work Programme, which focuses on deploying innovative next generation technologies across Europe.

    More information on the calls and the application process is available on the EU Funding & Tenders Portal.
