The first TURING Plenary Meeting was successfully held in Pisa on 19–20 January 2026, hosted by Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna. The meeting brought together the TURING consortium for two intensive days of coordination, technical discussions and collaborative planning.
During the meeting, partners exchanged updates across work packages and aligned on the project’s technical vision, framework architecture, use-case driven requirements, ethics-related activities and roadmap for the next phase of the project. They focused in particular on the specification of the project’s research scope. Discussions covered model and simulation white-box analysis, the assessment of existing foundation models, data requirements and data availability, as well as the requirements analysis for the TURING Framework. The meeting also highlighted the importance of close collaboration between technical, scientific and use-case partners in advancing TURING’s work on trustworthy, robust and physics-aware AI. The discussions provided an important opportunity to consolidate a common understanding of TURING’s objectives and to strengthen coordination across the consortium.
Beyond the formal sessions, the plenary offered valuable opportunities for exchange and networking, further reinforcing the collaborative spirit of the consortium.
TURING warmly thanks Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna for hosting the meeting in Pisa and for supporting a productive and successful consortium gathering.
