T he Fund's strategy is to build the power of the public interest community to shape the direction of AI in Europe\; narratives are central to creatin g the conditions for a greater say over how AI is adopted and used. THREE THEMES where research shows the public already feels strongly: (1) DATA CE NTRES: as the EU aims to triple data centre numbers in the next five to se ven years\, pollution\, energy prices and compromised grid access have mob ilised communities across the political spectrum\; proposals should explor e narrative questions that move communities beyond resistance towards enga gement in shaping data centre expansion. (2) AI AND JOBS: 57% of the publi c in a recent study expressed concern about how AI will change employment\ , more pronounced among lower-income people\, and the concern is not only displacement but the quality and nature of work\, autonomy and dignity\; p roposals should move the debate from generalised anxiety into a mobilising issue that shapes the future of work. (3) YOUNG PEOPLE: beyond the stride nt social media ban debate\, young people encounter AI in education\, frie ndships and future careers\, and their wider views are rarely heard\; prop osals should build narratives that help young people shape the technologie s that will influence their lives. LEARNING PROGRAMME: grantees join a com munity of practice\, sharing experiences across issues and places\, suppor ting each other through delivery and reflecting on which strategies and st ories have most salience\, with findings feeding back to the Fund and othe r funders. Deadline for first-stage applications is 31 August 2026.\n\nOrg anisation: European AI & Society Fund\nLocation: Europe (organisations acr oss Europe)\nAward: Grants of up to EUR 150\,000 from a EUR 2 million prog ramme\, plus participation in a learning programme and community of practi ce.
