Matchmaking
Stakeholders can use the EU’s Funding & Tenders Portal’s matchmaking option – Partner Search Announcement – to signal their interest.
The Commission has also given the stakeholders the option when signing up to the infoday to share a short Powerpoint presentation to pitch their ideas and organisations. These presentations will be shared on this webpage so these organisations can be contacted.
Call for proposals – Apply AI: GenAI for the public administrations
The Commission will fund under the Digital Europe Programme (DEP) a coordination and support action (CSA) to build an ecosystem of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) for public administration in Europe (DIGITAL-2026-AI-09-GENAI-PA). The call opened on 4 November 2025 and will close on 3 March 2026.
As part of the Apply AI Strategy focus on competitiveness and technological sovereignty, this CSA call will accompany the GenAI pilot projects co-funded by the DEP call DIGITAL-2025-AI-08-SUPPLY-AI. The pilot projects will collaborate closely with the CSA call and together will build the emerging European GenAI & public administration ecosystem.
The CSA call is targeting stakeholders from higher education institutions, research and technology organisations, civil-society organisations, non-governmental organisations, and other interested stakeholders. This call has 3 main objectives:
- Enhancing the scalability and replication of successful GenAI pilot solutions
- Identifying common needs from public administrations for GenAI solutions “Made in Europe” & connecting them with European start-ups
- Deepening the collaboration among public administrations across Member States to lay foundation of a sustainable GenAI community
One proposal with 1.8 million euros with a 100% funding rate over 36 months.
