On January 21-22, 2025, the MOSAICO Project officially kicked off at the IMT Atlantique facilities in Nantes, marking the launch of an initiative set to transform Europe’s software development landscape. Over two days, consortium partners from 9 countries gathered for a dynamic series of workshops, presentations, and interactive sessions. This event laid the foundation for what promises to be a revolutionary journey toward a future where human expertise and advanced AI work in tandem.
A promising beginning at the kick-off
During the kick-off event, partners engaged in in-depth discussions aimed at aligning the project’s ambitious roadmap. The collaborative atmosphere underscored the strong commitment of all involved to drive innovation and establish robust frameworks for ethical and transparent AI integration. While the event featured a series of strategic sessions, the real takeaway was the palpable excitement and shared vision among participants—a vision where software development is reimagined through seamless human-AI collaboration.
About the MOSAICO Project
MOSAICO is a Horizon Europe initiative with a funding commitment exceeding €5M over 36 months. Its core mission is to empower developers by integrating advanced AI agents into the software development process, addressing the growing need for innovative, efficient, and secure software solutions in an increasingly digital world.
The project is built on four key pillars:
- Innovative Collaboration Platform: Developing a cutting-edge platform that facilitates real-time communication between AI agents and developers to streamline workflows and enhance problem solving.
- Diverse AI Agent Suite: Creating a comprehensive repository of AI tools that support every stage of software development—from requirements gathering and design to coding, testing, and deployment.
- Human-AI Interaction Excellence: Implementing intuitive interfaces that foster natural collaboration, allowing developers to leverage the efficiency and precision of AI while focusing on creative and strategic tasks.
- Ethical and Transparent Governance: Establishing a robust governance framework to ensure that all AI operations meet high ethical standards and remain fully transparent.
Impact and Opportunities
MOSAICO is designed to deliver tangible benefits across Europe:
- Boosting developer productivity: Automation of routine tasks enables developers to focus on strategic and innovative aspects of software design.
- Enhancing software integrity: AI-driven testing and analysis will significantly improve code quality, security, and long-term maintainability.
- Catalyzing industry collaboration: By uniting leading research institutions, universities, industry innovators, and open source champions, MOSAICO fosters an environment of shared expertise and technological advancement.
A strong consortium driving the vision
The MOSAICO consortium is comprised of 12 partners from 9 countries, representing a balanced mix of academic institutions, research centers, and industry leaders. Key partners include:
- Academic and research : IMT Atlantique, University of York, Università degli Studi dell’Aquila
- Industry innovators and SMEs : Netcompany-Intrasoft, Immersion, National Bank of Greece, COLLINS, UNPARALLEL Innovation, CodiumAI
- Community and open source champions: Eclipse Foundation Europe, F6S Network
Each partner contributes unique capabilities across work packages, ranging from technical development and protocol design to integration, governance, and communication—ensuring the project’s progress towards a common vision.
Looking ahead
With the kick-off event setting a robust foundation, MOSAICO is now poised to embark on its three-year journey. The project is expected to reshape the future of software development by combining technological advancements with human creativity, ultimately paving the way for sustainable and transformative solutions across Europe.
