  "account": "Europe's scientific community is set to benefit greatly from NVIDIA's expanded support for advanced technology access in the region. At the AI in Science Summit in Dublin, the European Commission unveiled the AI in Science Enablers Initiative, a collaborative framework aimed at bridging the gap between research and technological resources for Europe's scientists. NVIDIA is joining this initiative, offering various forms of support to European researchers and institutions.\n\nThe company's commitment to the European scientific community is evident through its offering of access to accelerated computing tools, models, platforms, and cloud resources. Additionally, NVIDIA provides data, scientific resources, and hands-on training and technical support to help researchers and startups develop their skills. This support extends to collaborative projects and pilots, aiming to foster innovation and talent development in the region.\n\nNVIDIA's pledge begins with open-source technology, with the company releasing over 250 open models, 250 open datasets, and more than 1,400 open-source software projects spanning various fields such as large language models, healthcare, robotics, climate science, physical AI, autonomous vehicles, and scientific research. These resources are available on Hugging Face and GitHub, allowing researchers to build agentic reasoning capabilities using NVIDIA Nemotron — a family of architectures, open weights, open-source models, training data, and recipes — along with scientific software like NVIDIA BioNeMo Agent Toolkit, NVIDIA PhysicsNeMo libraries, NVIDIA Earth-2 models, and NVIDIA ALCHEMI NIM microservices.\n\nIn addition to open-source technology, NVIDIA is also providing access to compute resources through collaborations with cloud infrastructure partners and European national AI factories, including France, Spain, and Sweden. The NVIDIA Inception program for startups offers startups access to compute resources and technical support, helping them overcome barriers to entry for high-performance infrastructure and technological education. The BSC AI Factory in Spain has already piloted the Inception program, showing strong results. Other European national AI factories, including Sweden's AI Factory, are following suit, opening their infrastructure and expertise to Inception startups and SMEs in various sectors such as life and material sciences, autonomous systems, and gaming.\n\nEuroHPC supercomputing centers like CINECA and JSC are also contributing by providing free access to NVIDIA GPU infrastructure and services for open research, complemented by office hours, bootcamps, and hackathons to help researchers fine-tune models on their own datasets. NVIDIA is further enhancing its support through the organization of a European AI hackathon, co-hosted with Austrian Scientific Computing, the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre, the High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart, and The Cyprus Institute, for Pharos-CY.\n\nWith 35 supercomputers currently in development across Europe, this expansion marks the largest single-year buildout of supercomputing capacity in the region's history. These systems will provide over 3 million researchers with next-generation infrastructure, accelerating discovery across various domains, including climate science, drug development, materials research, and more. To learn more about NVIDIA's technologies for science and open-source courseware, as well as to access hands-on training through the NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute, visit their respective websites. The European Commission's RAISE Pledging Initiative is an essential platform for exploring these advancements.",
  "summary": "Much of today’s scientific progress begins with computation. But turning accelerated computing’s potential into scientific progress — modeling climate systems, designing molecules, simulating materials and more — depends on more than breakthrough technology. Especially for smaller labs, early-career scientists or science-based startups, the hardest part of research can be everything that comes…",
