The project was presented on 16 June in Brussels during a special workshop organised by the European Commission in collaboration with the Helmholtz Foundation Model Initiative. This event marked the launch of five Horizon Europe-funded projects developing foundation models for science in areas including materials science, agriculture, environment, and climate — the first research projects funded under the Resource for AI Science in Europe (#RAISE).
