Smart communities - Digital Europe project launches open call for pilots

Published on | 1 month ago

Programmes Climate, Energy, Mobility   AI, data & cloud   Deployment: Best use of technologies  

The European Data Space for Smart Communities (DS4SSCC-DEP) project launches three rounds of Open Calls for Pilots to validate an EU-wide cross-sectorial data space in practice, and to advance its development and implementation to support policy priorities of cities and communities within the European Union. The pilot call builds on and evolves the governance and technical blueprint established by the cross-sectorial data space preparatory action. 

The pilots aim to provide feedback from practice as more firm guidance is put into regulatory instruments, such as requirements for procurement, operation, and reporting, starting from a baseline of high-value datasets to add value by using data from different domains and models. The initiative aims to foster innovation towards a more resilient Europe, supporting local businesses and ecosystems, and emphasizing ethical considerations and AI-enabled local solutions, thereby enhancing the conditions for citizens and communities across Europe.

The pilot call is specifically designed for local public administrations in the EU and the other entities working with them (companies, academia, NGOs). The eligible consortia must be cross-sectorial & cross-border.

MareGraph - Towards an Interoperable Marine Knowledge Graph

The MareGraph project, ‘Towards an Interoperable Marine Knowledge Graph’, obtained funding under the Digital Europe topic ‘OPEN-AI – Public Sector Open Data for AI and Open Data Platform’. The project will increase the semantic, technical, and legal interoperability of three selected high-valued datasets (HVDs) all maintained by the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), which is one of the four partners of the project. This will allow the onboarding of essential marine datasets in the Common European Data Spaces. As such MareGraph will provide a structural component in the digital transition of the marine landscape. The numerous impacts of the project will benefit our seas globally in old and new ways to come.
