General information

Short Summary
A Spanish research center is looking partners for apply to the call DIGITAL-2024-CLOUD-AI-06-ENERSPACE.
The project aims to create a data space to manage the state of the energy sector in various regions of Europe. They are looking for partners with experience in the energy sector, especially with experience in the field of renewable energy, who could provide data from the sector and to be able to validate the systems designed. Research and development cooperation agreement are sought.
Full Description
The Spanish research centre, a private non-profit foundation, focuses on advancing computer science and artificial intelligence. Engaging in over 75 European, national, and regional R&D projects, it applies cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence, bioinformatics, distributed ledgers, cybersecurity, IoT, and quantum computing across diverse sectors, including industry 4.0, e-health, transport, precision agriculture, fintech, and smart cities.

The centre has the necessary organisational, human, and material resources to carry out its research and development activities, and any organisation or company that carries out its activities in Spain can benefit from its services. Its governing body, the foundation's board of trustees, has most companies among its trustees, which, in close collaboration with its advisory council, made up of experts from the business world and other research organisations (universities and technology centres), has enabled it to efficiently transfer the results of its R&D&I to private companies, with subcontracting accounting for more than 50% of its annual income.

The research topics, aimed by the center, are very broad due to the heterogeneous experience acquired by its members, outstanding its knowledge in smart data systems, Industry 4.0, IoT, Bioinformatics, Smart Cities, Cybersecurity, mobility, logistics, Social Computing and Blockchain. The research institute also coordinates the IoT DIH, a digital innovation hub recognized by the EC in its DIH catalogue. The mission of this hub is to provide support for the digitalization of the business sector in the region, providing technological support, knowledge transference, consultancy in business development, etc.

Energy management will be addressed through the creation of a data space that will allow the institutions that use it to optimise their systems and minimise the environmental impact generated.

Know-how, capabilities and roles of the partners:
• Analytical skills.
• Knowledge and experience of energy sector.
• Data of the energy consumption in European regions.
• Validation capabilities for the dataspace
