The European Commission – DG Connect and DG Environment – organises on 15th December 2021 an online session to provide information on the call for proposals under the Digital Europe prgramme to support the creation of a common.
This call for proposals has been launched on 17th November and is open until 22nd February 2022 (EU Funding & Tender Portal).
The Green Deal is one of the strategic domains of public interest identified in the European Data Strategy for which a common European Data Space will be created. The EU Data Strategy ultimately aims at establishing a Single EU Market for data, where data can flow between countries and sectors and be accessed and used easily, respecting European values and rules.
The common European Green Deal data space will interconnect currently fragmented and dispersed data from various ecosystems, both for/from the private and public sectors, to support the objectives of the European Green Deal. It will offer an interoperable, trusted IT environment for data processing, and a set of rules of legislative, administrative, and contractual nature that determine the rights of access to and use of the data.
The information session will present the Green Deal data space vision, the DIGITAL call for proposals as well as parallel horizontal activities, and it will provide a matchmaking opportunity for potential consortium partners. Participants will have the opportunity to make a 2 minutes pitch by signing up via the chat box.
The agenda and link to join the event are available here.
