About the Summit
One audience, five days, one very specific subject.
The Responsible AI in European Funding Summit brings together researchers, research managers, EU funding professionals, universities, SMEs, innovation organisations, consultants, trainers and policy stakeholders for five focused days exploring how AI is transforming European funding.
Across 20 expert sessions, five daily panels and five days of live interaction, participants explore practical AI use across Horizon Europe, Erasmus+, EIC and the wider European R&I ecosystem.
Sponsorship gives selected organisations the opportunity to place their brand, solutions and tools directly in front of this highly specialised audience — before, during and after the Summit.
Why sponsor
Go beyond logo visibility.
Depending on your sponsorship level, your organisation can:
Showcase
Demonstrate your AI tool or solution live to the Summit audience.
Reach
Gain visibility across the Summit website, programme, live sessions and recordings.
Presence
Appear on official Summit backgrounds and sponsor screens.
Placement
Be featured during breaks and before/after expert presentations.
Ownership

Why this audience is different
Not another generic AI conference.
Most AI events sell you a crowd. This Summit gives you access to a concentrated group of people and organisations actively involved in European funding, research and proposal development — at the exact moment they are evaluating how AI fits into that work.

Good to know
Questions sponsors usually ask
What's the difference between a Break Spotlight and a Sponsor Tool Showcase?
A Break Spotlight is one of the two labelled 10-minute windows running each day. Sponsor branding appears there. From Silver level, sponsors can use part of that window for a dedicated, clearly labelled Tool Showcase.
How are sponsorship slots allocated?
Opportunities are limited. Premium placements, day sponsorships and category exclusivity are allocated on a first-confirmed basis.
What does “GDPR-compliant opt-in leads” mean?
From Gold level, participants can explicitly choose to share their contact details with a sponsor. No scraped attendee lists.
How long do VIP Passes stay valid?
VIP Passes provide access to the Summit recordings and materials for all five days.
Does brand visibility end when the Summit ends?
No. Selected sponsorship benefits extend to recordings, Summit materials and post-event resources.
Can we build a custom package?
Add-ons are reserved for Diamond sponsors. Organisations seeking a more customised package can enquire about upgrading to Diamond or discussing a bespoke arrangement.
Put your brand where the conversation is happening.
Five mornings in November. One highly specialised audience. A clear way to put your organisation in front of European funding professionals.
Sponsorship opportunities are limited, with premium placements, day sponsorships and category exclusivity allocated on a first-confirmed basis.
