ICT 14 Big Data PPP: cross-sectorial and cross-lingual data integration and experimentation

Overview

Innovation Actions To foster the exchange, linking and reuse of data assets. To integrate data assets from multiple sectors across languages and formats in a safe environment for experimentations of innovative services and product ideas.

a) Activities addressing cross domain/cross-lingual data integration challenges of EU industries. Wide range of technical issues to be tackled (i.e. data models, entity identifiers, standards, multi-lingual support, brokerage schemes, data quality, privacy, etc…) .

Indicative contribution from the EU per project: 1-3 M€ . b) Incubator(s) addressing big data industrial challenges in a cross-sectorial, cross-lingual and/or cross-border set-up. Experimenters: SMEs and start-ups. At least 50% of experiments to be defined by data providers Indicative contribution from the EU per project per project: 7 M€. At least 70% of the EU funding shall be allocated as

Cascade Grants Scheme.

DOs and DON'Ts

DO NOT mix ICT-14 a) and b) in one single proposal: they are standalone DO clearly explain at the BEGINNING of the proposal what is the industrial requirement motivating DO make sure to have datasets ready for day 1 of the project Unless really important and relevant, do not build artificially new 'use cases'. One, robust, meaningful, substantiated – real - well developed industrial requirement

ICT 15 Big Data PPP: large scale pilot actions in sectors best benefitting from data-driven

innovation - Overview Innovation Actions Large Scale Pilot Actions in data intensive sectors involving key European industrial actors. Their objective is to demonstrate how industrial sectors will be transformed by putting big data technologies at their core. Possible actions include health, energy, environment, earth observation, geospatial, transport, manufacturing, finance and media. Characteristics & requirements A Consortium where industrial partners are represented by professionals who work in core business operations (as opposed to research laboratories). Develop a plan that is consistent with the business strategy of the industrial partners concerned Expected EU contribution per project: 10 – 15 M€

DOs and DON'Ts

DO provide detailed information on the IT/Big Data platform on which the project will run on

DO explain how the private investment of the Consortium partners (additional to the EU funding) is connected to the participation of company X in the project.

ICT 16 Big Data PPP: research addressing main technology challenges of the data economy - Overview

Research and Innovation Actions To fundamentally improve the technology, methods, standards and processes, building on a solid scientific basis, and responding to real needs.

The RIA activities include (but are not limited to): Software stacks designed to help programmers and big data practitioners take advantage of novel architectures in order to optimise Big Data processing tasks; Distributed data and process mining, predictive analytics and visualization at the service of industrial decision support processes; Real-time complex event processing over extremely large numbers of high volume streams of possibly noisy, possibly incomplete data. Expected EU contribution per project: 2 – 5 M€

DOs and DON'Ts

Testing in real world scenarios (i.e. usability, robustness, performance, privacy aware) on real datasets, by professional/domain experts as opposed to researchers or software developers. Proposals must demonstrate that they have access to appropriately large, complex and realistic data sets. From day 1 of the project!

ICT 17 Big Data PPP: support, industrial skills, benchmarking and evaluation - Overview

Research and Innovation Actions (One RIA) Problem statement: Need for widely recognized benchmarks and performance evaluation schemes to avoid fragmentation or overlaps, and to allow measuring progress in (Big) Data challenges by solid methodology

The benchmarking action will identify data management and analytics technologies of European significance. Liaise closely with data experimentation/ integration (ICT-14) and Large Scale Pilot (ICT-15) projects to respond to key European industries real needs, and to provide a basis for measuring success of the PPP. Action shall address areas of activity that do not yet have a benchmarking/evaluation scheme. We already have: LDBC: benchmarking for Graph Databases HOBBIT: benchmarking for Linked Big Data Expected EU contribution per project: 2 M€

DOs and DON'Ts

Make sustainability plans to continue to exist throughout the entire life-cycle of the relevant technology (i.e. after the project end).

ICT-20-2017: Tools for smart digital content in the creative industries - Budget 17 M€

ICT-23-2017: Interfaces for accessibility - Budget 14 M€

ICT-20-2017: Tools for smart digital content in the creative industries - Overview

Research and Innovation Actions Need to explore novel ways of digital content production and management in the creative industries (i.e advertising, architecture, performing and visual arts, craft, design, fashion, films, music, press, publishing, radio, TV, video games) Proposals should: clearly specify which sector(s) of the Creative Industries are being addressed demonstrate significant progress beyond SoA in digital content production and management focus on technologies for the production of new content or for the enhancement and (re-)use of already existing digital content Digital content can be of any type (text, video, games...) NB: production or acquisition of the content itself cannot be funded Consortia should include representatives from the targeted Creative Industries with a leading role in the design of solutions and their validation Suggested funding per project: € 2-4 M€ Suggested project duration: 24-36 months

ICT-23-2017: Interfaces for accessibility - Overview

Research and Innovation Actions a) Development of intelligent, affordable and personalised interfaces and affective computing for people with

cognitive disabilities. Mix of expertise is required and due attention will be paid to the diversity of users and users' needs

b) Develop and test solutions, models and algorithms to improve (and act upon) information extraction from brain and neural signals Suggested funding per project: € 2 M€

Innovation Actions To develop and demonstrate decision support tools for the assessment of compliance to web sites accessibility standards and guidelines. Solutions shall enable fast processing of dynamic content and large volumes of web pages/content and data Suggested funding per project: € 2 M€

Spunti per la discussione

• Qual è una prima riflessione sull’andamento della partecipazione italiana negli anni 2014 – 2016?

• Come organizzarsi per aumentare il tasso di successo italiano nei

prossimi bandi? • Prepararsi a creare un’offerta più adeguata per le aree finora più

“scoperte”? • E’ possibile far emergere altri punti di eccellenza che svolgano anche il

ruolo di coordinatori? • Le piattaforme nazionali o i consorzi interuniversitari possono favorire una

maggiore integrazione? • Altro?

• Come costituire una partnership di successo, valorizzando per es. gli

attori presenti nelle PPP?
