NVIDIA joined the European Commission’s AI in Science Enablers Initiative, pledging open resources, training, compute access and research collaborations.
NVIDIA joined the European Commission’s AI in Science Enablers Initiative, announced at the AI in Science Summit in Dublin on October 15, 2026. The effort is connected to RAISE, the Resource for AI Science in Europe, and is intended to bring industry support closer to researchers. NVIDIA’s commitments cover technology, computing resources, training, collaborative projects and support for startups.
The company says its existing open portfolio includes more than 250 models, 250 datasets and over 1,400 open-source software projects. Its science-related tools include BioNeMo Agent Toolkit, PhysicsNeMo, Earth-2 and ALCHEMI NIM microservices, spanning work in areas such as biology, chemistry, climate and materials science. NVIDIA also announced an open-source courseware hub from its Deep Learning Institute, with freely downloadable materials that can be adapted for university courses, boot camps and developer events.
The pledge also focuses on access to computing infrastructure. NVIDIA is working with cloud partners and national AI factories in France, Spain and Sweden to create routes to European compute for startups and small and medium-sized businesses. In France, AI2F has collaborated with NVIDIA’s Inception startup program for four months. Spain’s BSC AI Factory has completed a pilot and is rolling out its first accelerator program; the article says other national AI factories are interested in replicating the model in 2027. Sweden’s AI Factory is also collaborating with NVIDIA to open infrastructure and expertise to startups and smaller businesses.
For academic teams and startups, the commitments address practical barriers to using advanced computing, including access to tools, infrastructure and technical expertise. EuroHPC centers CINECA and JSC already provide free access to NVIDIA GPU infrastructure and services for open research, supported by activities such as office hours and boot camps. NVIDIA says 35 supercomputers are in development across Europe and that the systems will equip more than 3 million researchers.
