About EuroTPC

EuroTPC strengthens Europe’s role in shaping the future of AI for Science by ensuring coordinated European participation in the Trillion Parameter Consortium (TPC).

The project serves as Europe’s gateway to international collaboration on large-scale scientific AI models while supporting European strategic priorities in AI, HPC and digital sovereignty.

Vision

A globally connected European ecosystem leading the development and application of trustworthy, open and science-driven AI.

Mission

EuroTPC coordinates European participation in the TPC to:

  • Strengthen Europe’s voice in global AI for Science initiatives
  • Connect AI Factories, HPC centres and research communities
  • Foster international scientific collaboration
  • Support trustworthy and human-centric AI
  • Develop a strategic roadmap for scientific AI innovation
  • Advance European digital sovereignty

Objectives

  • Establish and operate a TPC Office in Europe, making it the central hub for every TPC activity in Europe.

  • Foster synergy between TPC and major European efforts in the global HPC-AI activity, making Advisory Boards diverse and maximising what is already there in the EU landscape.

  • Support active participation of European actors in TPC technical and scientific activities, involving early- and mid-career scholars from a variety of backgrounds.

  • Engage and mobilise a broad European HPC-AI ecosystem, including the private space via startups, SMEs and large companies, and bringing on board as many European Member States as possible.

  • Develop a strategic foresight mechanism and a shared EuroTPC Roadmap, understanding the strengths of other stakeholders in Europe to help maximise their impact on TPC.

  • Promote international collaboration and visibility, understanding the strengths of other TPC partners to help maximise their impact on the European ecosystem.

  • Communicate, disseminate, and assess the impact of European participation in TPC.
