AI Research Enhancement through Networked Agents
The EOSC-ARENA (AI Research Enhancement through Networked Agents) will deliver a sovereign, generative and agentic Artificial Intelligence (AI) environment integrated with the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). This AI environment will serve as a scientific assistant supporting the full research lifecycle, from literature review and hypothesis generation to analysis, reporting, and provenance capture. The project responds to pressing needs in the use of smart algorithms and AI/ML services in scientific research, fostering trust, transparency, and European technological sovereignty. The project focuses on building an advanced, scalable, multi-agent system and a marketplace for Generative AI (GenAI) agents and services. It will provide federated training and inference, secure generation with augmented search and integrations based on the Model Context Protocol. The EOSC-ARENA system will be deployed on EU e-infrastructures and interoperable with EOSC EU nodes. Twelve real-life use cases from different scientific domains are selected to co-design, implement, and assess the effectiveness of the project solutions. At the same time, we will provide community engagement, skills development and guidance for responsible, human-centric AI that aligns with EU values and the Research Integrity Framework. Main outcomes include an EOSC-ready platform release with agent execution and marketplace, open-source components, machine-actionable APIs and provenance mechanisms. Equally important will be policy guidance and training assets to accelerate trustworthy AI adoption. The project targets demonstrators integrated with EOSC services and contributes directly to the EOSC and its strategic research and innovation agenda by strengthening interoperability, FAIRness and sustainability of AI in European research.
