EUSAiR Project Kicks Off to Guide the Eu-Wide Establishment of AI Regulatory Sandboxes

On January 23-24, 2025, one of the main EU flagship projects around the implementation of the AI Act kicked of in Bologna: EUSAiR.

An EU consortium of excellence and strength

The EUSAiR project, funded by the European Commission aims to support the implementation of Regulatory Sandboxes for Artificial Intelligence in EU countries, creating controlled environments to test and validate innovative AI systems before they are placed on the market. The two-year project is led by the Italian Research Center on High Performance Computing, Big Data and Quantum Computing and involves academic excellence (Universities of Bologna and Florence, University of Turku, and Haaga-Helia), national competent authorities (ACN), world’s leading supercomputing centers (BSC, CINECA, CSC), the largest network of digital SMEs in Europe (European DIGITAL SME Alliance) and organizations specialized in responsible AI (ALLAI and TUV AI Lab) and processes of communication and co-creation (LOBA).

A common approach to AI Regulatory Sandboxes across the EU

EUSAiR will concentrate on providing standardized frameworks for AI Regulatory Sandboxes, strengthening technical and legal capacities, and fostering cooperation among European Union Member States and their National Competent Authorities. AI regulatory sandboxes, which EUSAiR will support and coordinate, will ensure access for AI innovators, particularly SMEs and startups, helping them reduce compliance costs with new regulations such as the AI Act and making their market entry more sustainable. In this context, competencies will be provided to national authorities and key players in the European AI ecosystem, encouraging a multidisciplinary commitment to joint initiatives, with a strong emphasis on the Trustworthy AI. Through an innovative approach, EUSAiR aims to enhance regulatory oversight, promote evidence-based learning, disseminate best practices, and facilitate AI systems’ access to the EU market.
