AI NoES Horizons and Beyond concludes its journey with the challenge of putting AI policy into practice

How can Europe turn its AI ambitions into trustworthy solutions that work in the real world? This is the question at the heart of the fifth and final session of AI NoES Horizons and Beyond, bringing to a close a series that has explored the evolving European AI landscape throughout the past year.

Over the course of its five sessions, AI NoES Horizons and Beyond has provided a space to discuss some of the key issues shaping the future of artificial intelligence in Europe. From collaboration and innovation to funding opportunities and the role of AI Networks of Excellence, the series has brought different perspectives together around a shared goal: strengthening Europe’s AI ecosystem.

The final session, “From AI Policy to Implementation: Building Trustworthy AI in Europe”, will focus on the next step in this journey: turning European AI policies and strategic ambitions into practical implementation.

As AI continues to develop at an unprecedented pace, defining principles and regulatory frameworks is only part of the challenge. The real test lies in translating them into AI systems that can be responsibly developed and deployed in real-world contexts. This requires connecting policy with research and innovation, while ensuring that trustworthiness, responsibility and transparency remain central throughout the process.

The session will explore how Europe can move from policy to practice and what this transition means for the different actors involved in the AI ecosystem. It will also provide an opportunity to reflect on how collaboration across research, industry, policy and innovation can help turn European ambitions into tangible impact.

  • Closing a year of AI dialogue

As the final session of AI NoES Horizons and Beyond, this event marks the conclusion of a year-long journey of discussion and knowledge exchange across the European AI community.

The themes explored throughout the series have highlighted the different elements needed to build a strong and sustainable AI ecosystem in Europe. This final conversation brings them together around a central question for the years ahead: how can Europe ensure that its approach to AI not only sets ambitious principles, but also delivers trustworthy technologies in practice?

Join us for the final session of AI NoES Horizons and Beyond as we close this chapter and look towards the next stage of trustworthy AI in Europe.
