AI, HPC and quantum computing service and data infrastructures are essential for advancing scientific research and innovative industrial applications across the Union. In addition to joint investments in infrastructures and ecosystems under the Joint Undertaking, Member States should be able to use funds from programmes co-financed by structural and regional funds, from the RRF or from national programmes to support investments in the acquisition and operation of new, advanced, state-of-the-art AI, HPC and quantum computing service and data infrastructures established within their territory. Through the wide networking and federation of those advanced national public AI and compute service and data infrastructures at Union level, integrated, federated, secure and hyper-connected world-class AI, HPC and quantum computing services, data infrastructures and ecosystems will be created across the Union that promote scientific excellence, foster the development of innovative applications, and attract talent, with benefits extending well beyond users in the Member States concerned. While not contributing to their financing, the Joint Undertaking should be able to facilitate the networking and federation of those advanced national public infrastructures with those at Union level, provided that is requested and duly justified by interested Member States. The Joint Undertaking would award such national public infrastructures a EuroHPC AI and Compute Infrastructure Seal and ensure their networking and federation with the network of AI factories and quantum computers.
