TURING participated in IEEE ICE 2026, held in Porto, Portugal, on 23 June 2026, joining five other EU-funded AI projects — AIXPERT, EXTRA-BRAIN, FAITH, HumAIne and TRUMAN — in a joint discussion dedicated to Robustness and Trustworthiness in AI.
The exchange brought together complementary perspectives from projects addressing different dimensions of trustworthy AI, including explainability, robustness, security, human-centric AI and reliability in real-world environments. While each project approaches the topic from a distinct scientific and application-oriented angle, the discussion focused on a shared challenge: how to build AI systems that are both robust and trustworthy across different domains and real-world contexts.
For TURING, the event provided a valuable opportunity to present and discuss its work in the broader landscape of trustworthy AI, while further strengthening synergies with related Horizon Europe initiatives. This is particularly relevant for AIXPERT and TRUMAN, with which TURING has already established active synergies through the dedicated cluster created among projects funded under the same Horizon Europe call. Such exchanges are important for identifying complementarities, sharing lessons learned and supporting the development of AI systems that are not only technically advanced, but also reliable, transparent and aligned with European values and regulatory expectations.
TURING was represented by Ioannis Kontopoulos from ICCS, member of the TURING Coordination Team, who contributed to the discussion and presented the project’s perspective on trustworthy and robust AI.
The participation in IEEE ICE 2026 reflects TURING’s continued commitment to collaboration, knowledge exchange and cross-project synergies in the European AI research and innovation ecosystem.
