WEBINAR INFORMATION

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The project EUHubs4data is looking for 18 new driven DIHs to enlarge the current group that composes the European federation of data-driven Innovation Hubs. The project joins forces with the Big Data Value Association (BDVA), and combines in a single open call: (1) BDVA i-Spaces call for labels 2021 and (2) EUHubs4Data call for DIHs.

Candidates are asked to complete a questionnaire to evaluate if they meet the criteria established by BDVA to be recognized as i-Spaces 2021. From this list, EUHubs4Data will select the 18 DIHs with the highest rank and located within regions not currently covered by the federation to be part of the project receiving financial support. The 9 highest ranked DIHs will incorporate to the project already in 2021, and additional 9 DIHs will incorporate in 2022.

New DIHs are expected to participate in the following activities of the project:

  • Integration of assets in the federated catalogue
  • Support to experiments where their services are selected (two open calls for experiments will be organised, information from the 1st call can be found here: https://euhubs4data.eu/1st-open-call).
  • Dissemination of the project and activities
