Google DeepMind and Google Cloud Support European Science With $3M Compute Pledge

Google DeepMind and Google Cloud are providing up to 200 top European scientific researchers with direct access to frontier models, alongside $3 million in compute credits. The commitment is designed to support the European Union's AI for Science work.

Through the initiative, researchers gain direct access to scientific tools including AlphaFold 3, WeatherNext, AlphaGenome, AlphaEvolve, and AlphaEarth Foundations. The program operates via the RAISE initiative, which helps bridge compute gaps faced by scientists across Europe.

By supplying vital compute power and tools directly to research teams, the effort aims to accelerate the pace of European innovation and reinforce the continent's scientific competitiveness. Research teams will use the resources to tackle complex challenges, from predicting extreme weather patterns to mapping molecular structures.
