Onto Commons
Ontology-driven data documentation for industry commons
OntoCommons addresses cross-domain interoperability by creating an ontology ecosystem with data documentation that acts as a major enabler for industry commons. The Ontology Commons EcoSystem (OCES) adopts a pluralistic approach to ontology management at the top reference level, across domains and linking to application level knowledge graphs. Partners include 20 expert research teams and 22 industrial application use cases including collaborations with Airbus, Siemens, Bosch, Aibel and IKEA.
As project partner, we are in charge of Innovation and Sustainability Management as well as ensuring long-term legacy of the OntoCommons ecosystem after the end of project. Meet our Team.
We are working on alignment of the OCES with sister global initiatives. Read about our collaboration agreement with OAGi.
Funded by the Horizon 2020 programme, grant agreement 958371. Link to project website.
Expanding EOSC
Engagement of the wider public and private sectors in EOSC
The study commissioned by the European Open Science Cloud aims to deliver practical, actionable advice and models for technology transfer and engagement with existing and potential scientific research user groups outside of academia, with the objective to scale the impact of EOSC and further incentivise and reward its community of researchers and research institutions. Our findings include the benefits of “FAIRification” (FAIR data verification) for industrial data, the key role of EOSC in the “FAIRification” of European data marketplaces, and the introduction of the JUST data owner/researcher (Judicious, Unbiased, Safe and Transparent) which stimulates accountability by responsible data stakeholders. Read our study.
The study’s findings were ported into the EOSC Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda. Read the EOSC SRIA.
Funded by the EOSCsecretariat.eu which has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Programme call H2020-INFRAEOSC-2018-4, Grant Agreement number 831644. Link to EOSC study page.
RE4DY
Manufacturing data networks
RE4DY unites a large number of data platforms and solutions into a giant testbed for manufacturing built around the concept of “data as a product”. The project includes 31 partners and industrial use cases including Volkswagen, AVL, +GF+ and Avio Aero, and industrial testbeds at the Swiss Smart Factory.
As project partner, we are building systems for the tracking of intellectual property in value networks and optimising ways to manage industrial agreements in novel data-driven manufacturing scenarios. Cross-domain tracking and management of IP is a major enabler for the systems of agreements in the industry commons. Meet our team.

Data Space 4.0
Manufacturing data space
Data Space 4.0 aims to create a shared pathway and governance model for scale-up of cross-domain data spaces for manufacturing. The project is steered by key national Industry 4.0 initiatives with 16 partners and 33 Associate Partners.
As Associate Partner we are contributing with our expertise on systems for tracking and management of intellectual property and industrial agreements. Read our white paper on IP and industrial agreements.

EIC
Expert Group for the Design of the EIC Marketplace and Tech to Market Activities
The mission of the European Innovation Council is to strengthen European innovation by providing tools and frameworks that incentivise new research and innovation activities and support development of breakthrough technologies.
Our group outlined a vision for an EIC Marketplace that reflects and adapts to the legislative and technological conditions of Intellectual Property in Europe. The aim is to ensure appropriate protections for creators and their works, unlock and enable further innovation that builds on existing IP, make IP findable within an open innovation platform, and benefit society and the economy by incentivising all participants to collaborate.

digiNEB
Digital solutions for the New European Bauhaus
The New European Bauhaus initiative was launched by President von der Leyen on the 16th of September 2020 as a “co-creation space where architects, artists, students, engineers, designers work together” towards a better living environment. Since then NEB has evolved as a bottom-up movement, through large-scale engagement with thousands of ideas on the ground. NEB uniquely feeds policy from grassroots creative experimentation and prototyping of sustainable solutions, acting as a major enabler for the green transition.
Two years after NEB was launched, digiNEB creates a dedicated space for the sharing of digital solutions for the large multidisciplinary NEB community. Built around the NEB goals of sustainability (from climate goals, to circularity, zero pollution, and biodiversity), inclusion (from valuing diversity and equality for all, to securing accessibility and affordability), and aesthetics (quality of experience and style, beyond functionality), digiNEB unites digital experts and latest digital projects with the NEB community, ideas and concepts. Our team is in charge of onboarding communities through co-creation, innovation and learning by doing. Meet our team.
Funded by the Horizon Europe programme, grant agreement 101083743. Link to project website.
EIT Culture & Creativity
Knowledge and Innovation Community
The latest Knowledge and Innovation Community by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) is set to grow the European Culture and Creative Sector.
As core partner over the three years of preparation we contributed to the concept, definition, abstract, USPs and the winning pitch in Budapest. Link to the EIT announcement.
Funded up to 300M€ over 7 years by the Horizon Europe programme.
