BBMRI-ERIC contribution:

BBMRI-ERIC is involved in WP1, WP2 and WP3, including participation in the establishment of the AHEAD Observatory and the establishment of a common methodology for the transdisciplinary assessement and benchmarking of AI applications in biomedicine and healthcare.

Project Summary: The objective of AHEAD (AI for Health: Evaluation of Applications & Datasets) is to create a transdisciplinary, diverse and global community drawing on the expertise of professionals in biomedicine, ethics, AI development, software engineering, sociology, psychology, law, gender studies, and relevant stakeholders, dedicated to the ongoing effort of tackling challenges and setting important standards in an ever-changing landscape. Together, the community will gather, consolidate, and put into practice established principles and guidelines, building a methodology and a platform to evaluate AI-based systems for biomedical and healthcare applications to ensure the compliance with legal, ethical, technical, scientific, and regulatory standards.

Additional Information

The lack of consensus on standardised approaches for the responsible implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has led Europe to prioritise AI regulation, particularly in high-impact societal areas such as biomedicine and healthcare. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the AHEAD project aims to build a global community of experts in biomedicine, ethics, AI development, software engineering, sociology, psychology, law, gender studies, and other relevant fields. Together, they will develop and implement guidelines for evaluating AI-based systems in biomedical and healthcare applications. The project will also expand OpenEBench to facilitate these assessments and establish an observatory to gather existing policies and best practices. The ultimate goal is to promote responsible AI innovation and ensure improved healthcare for all.

Coordinated by BSC (Spain) the project brings together a multidisciplinary consortium: BSC (Spain), UniTN (Italy), CERTH (Greece), BBMRI-ERIC (Austria), UH (Finland), HMO (Israel), NYU (United States), NBD (Spain), WBF (Switzerland), Lygature (Netherlands), NTT Data (Spain), IBMB Unibas (Switzerland), IBM Zurich (Switzerland) and IBM (Israel). In addition, the project collaborates with PRISMA and Barcelonaβeta, both based in Barcelona.

The AHEAD Project has received funding from the Horizon Europe Programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 101183031 under call Horizon-MSCA-2023-SE-01


The website was co-funded within ADOPT BBMRI-ERIC, a project that has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 676550.
