The European Commission is hosting an online info session to help stakeholders build consortia for the call for proposals on a coordination and support action (CSA) to build an ecosystem of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in public administrations. Following the first info session in December 2025, this second session will focus on sharing information about the call, answering questions and facilitating consortia-building.

The event is taking place online on Monday 9 February 2026: you can register until 8 February at this link.

About the call

The Commission will fund under the Digital Europe Programme (DEP) a coordination and support action (CSA) to build an ecosystem of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) for public administration in Europe (DIGITAL-2026-AI-09-GENAI-PA). The call opened on 4 November 2025 and will close on 3 March 2026.

As part of the Apply AI Strategy focus on competitiveness and technological sovereignty, this CSA call will accompany the GenAI pilot projects co-funded by the DEP call DIGITAL-2025-AI-08-SUPPLY-AI. The pilot projects will collaborate closely with the CSA call and together will build the emerging European GenAI & public administration ecosystem.

The CSA call is targeting stakeholders from higher education institutions, research and technology organisations, civil-society organisations, non-governmental organisations, and other interested stakeholders. This call has three main objectives:

• Enhancing the scalability and replication of successful GenAI pilot solutions
• Identifying common needs from public administrations for GenAI solutions “Made in Europe” & connecting them with European start-ups
• Deepening the collaboration among public administrations across Member States to lay foundation of a sustainable GenAI community
