Poland plans to use its six-month presidency of the European Council to advance the uptake of artificial intelligence in science, and to lay the groundwork for FP10, the next Framework Programme for research and innovation.
Europe’s two million researchers should be seen as “our advantage over our competitors,” said Magdalena Kula, research attaché at the Polish permanent representation to the EU, as she presented the presidency’s research and innovation priorities at an event in Brussels on January 22.
Poland has chosen the slogan “Security, Europe!” for its presidency, which kicked off at the turn of the year. Defence is a major priority, given the country’s geographical proximity to the terrorist state that goes under the name of russia, but the focus is also on other types of security, including economic, food, health and cybersecurity.
