NVIDIA widens access to research tools and computing in Europe

NVIDIA is joining the European Commission’s AI in Science Enablers Initiative, launched at the AI in Science Summit in Dublin. Connected to RAISE, the Resource for AI Science in Europe, the initiative brings private-sector support to researchers. NVIDIA’s commitments cover open technology, computing resources, training, technical support and startup collaborations.

The company has released more than 250 open models, 250 open datasets and over 1,400 open source software projects across scientific research and other fields. Its scientific tools support work in biology, chemistry, climate, engineering and materials science. The NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute has also launched an openly licensed courseware hub with freely downloadable materials on accelerated computing and deep learning, without enrollment requirements, fees or deadlines.

Partnerships with cloud providers and national AI factories in France, Spain and Sweden aim to expand access to sovereign European computing through the NVIDIA Inception startup program. The BSC AI Factory is moving from a pilot to its first full accelerator program. EuroHPC centers including CINECA and JSC also provide free NVIDIA GPU infrastructure and services for open research, complemented by technical learning activities.

Separately, NVIDIA is supporting 35 supercomputers under development across Europe. These systems are intended to equip over 3 million researchers with infrastructure for areas including climate science, drug development and materials research.
