Anthropic Launches Economic Futures Programme in UK and Europe
Anthropic is expanding its Economic Futures Programme to the UK and Europe, beginning with a symposium at the London School of Economics and Political Science. The programme offers research grants, API credits, and evidence-based policy forums for UK and EU researchers studying AI's effects on labor markets and productivity. Anthropic is also expanding the Anthropic Economic Index to provide more granular, Europe-specific data on AI adoption patterns across industries and regions. Country-level usage data reveals distinct adoption patterns: academic research in the UK, manufacturing support in Germany, and culture/tourism in France.

Anthropic is also joining Internet2, partnering with Instructure to embed Claude in Canvas LMS, and launching student ambassador and API credit programs.
