Smart communities - Digital Europe project launches open call for pilots

Published on | 9 months 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.

ROOT - Rolling Out OSNMA for the secure synchronization of Telecom networks

The ROOT project obtained funding under Horizon 2020 topic ‘EGNSS applications fostering societal resilience and protecting the environment’. The project, which ran from November 2020 to July 2022,  aimed to demonstrate the benefit of Galileo OSNMA signal to increase the robustness of critical telecom infrastructures.

The Flanders-based company Septentrio contributed substantially to completing this objective together with the other ROOT partners. The results of the project partially close a gap in the security of telecommunication networks dependent on satellite-derived time, with indirect benefits in curbing illegal attempts to disrupt network services.
