On October 14, 2026, Google announced that Google DeepMind and
Google Cloud are providing up to 200 European scientific researchers with direct access to the company’s frontier models, together with $3 million in compute credits.
Under the pledge, researchers will gain direct access to Google’s scientific tools, including AlphaFold 3, WeatherNext, AlphaGenome, AlphaEvolve, and AlphaEarth Foundations.
The announcement was authored by Maureen Costello, vice president for the UK, Ireland and Sub-Saharan Africa at Google Cloud.
Google said the commitment supports the European Union’s AI for Science work by making some of its frontier models available through the RAISE initiative , which the company described as seeking to help bridge the compute gap European scientists sometimes face.
By delivering compute power and tools directly to research teams, Google said, the effort aims to accelerate the pace of European innovation and reinforce the continent’s scientific competitiveness, with researchers equipped to tackle challenges ranging from predicting extreme weather patterns to mapping molecular structures.
