The AI4POL partners gathered for a consortium meeting to review progress, exchange feedback, and further align activities as the project moves into its next phase. The discussion highlighted the importance of identifying overlaps and synergies across work packages to ensure that our research on AI governance, competition, consumer protection, financial risks, and global AI dynamics remains coherent and mutually reinforcing.

We also reviewed recent policy developments shaping the regulatory landscape, including the EU's growing emphasis on simplification and how these discussions intersect with our research.

The meeting underscored the value of open collaboration within the consortium: shared insights, constructive dialogue, and a collective commitment to producing impactful, policy-relevant outcomes.

AI4POL will continue to build on this strong foundation as we prepare for the next stages of the project.
