Our mission

Building Europe’s capacity to govern frontier AI

Our vision

A future where Europe plays a leading role in shaping frontier AI that is safe, beneficial, and aligned with European values.

Our approach

Three ways we build capacity

Shape leaders in AI governance

Fellows finish our programmes equipped with the knowledge and experience to become the leaders, founders, and decision-makers in frontier AI governance in Europe.

Grow a European AI policy community

Since 2022, we have been fostering a broad European network of accomplished professionals who share the same goal: safely developed AI that helps humanity flourish and thrive.

Start new initiatives to strengthen the field

Where we see gaps in European AI governance, we work to close them, whether by supporting founders building new organisations, running workshops or piloting other ideas.

What
drives us

Impact

We weigh everything we do by the difference it makes to how AI is governed and its tangible impact.

Rigour

We set high standards for selection, design and delivery, and improve through feedback.

Relationships

We prioritise people, from mentoring our fellows to long-lasting relationships with our partners.

Independence

We encourage independent thinking and diversity of views across our programmes and within our team.
