Consolidating Research and Policy along the Cognitive Computing Continuum

Project description

Integrating policy and research in cognitive computing

The shift from H2020 to Horizon Europe reflects the convergence of Cloud, Edge, and IoT technologies in the ICT industry, significantly impacting Europe at various levels. Future projects should capitalise on ongoing efforts and consolidate technology priorities outlined by the EU industry. The EU-funded NexusForum.EU project aims to help the transition of the community of EC-funded projects and related initiatives towards closer collaboration with the industry. The project combines research and policy along the Cognitive Computing Continuum, essential for expanding the ongoing CSAs, particularly EUCloudEdgeIoT. It will generate research roadmaps, foster collaboration, establish links with relevant organisations, promote EU research diversity, identify skill gaps, analyse crucial topics, and engage with research communities outside Europe.

Objective

The transition from H2020 to HE reflects an ongoing mega-trend in ICT: the convergence of Cloud, Edge, and IoT. This tendency has significant impact in Europe at scientific, technological, socio-economic, and geopolitical levels, as these traditionally separated fields are now converging into a much larger ecosystem now sharing a number of common challenges and key priorities. Upcoming RIAs should integrate and capitalise on ongoing efforts, with a vital aspect for Europe in this whole process being to successfully combine and consolidate the technology priorities defined by EU industry through the “European Alliance for Industrial Data, Edge and Cloud” and the advancements that the IPCEI-CIS will provide in the coming years. This transition and the move of the whole community of EC-funded projects and related initiatives towards a closer cooperation with industry is what the NexusForum.EU project aims to support and facilitate by focusing on consolidating research and policy along the Cognitive Computing Continuum, something crucial to effectively expand what the ongoing CSAs (particularly EUCloudEdgeIoT) are working on, thus providing a clear, consistent vision for future research and innovation topics in this EU strategic area. NexusForum.EU through its unique consortium, will be able to effectively undertake a number of crucial activities, such as producing annual research roadmaps and policy recommendations; fostering collaboration between industry and academia; creating solid links with the IPCEI-CIS and the “European Alliance for Industrial Data, Edge and Cloud”; collaborating with past and present RIAs in order to promote a diverse EU research and innovation community; identifying relevant issues such skills development gaps; analysing the relationship with crucial topics such as Open Source and Open Standards; and engaging with forward-looking research and innovation communities and strategic initiatives outside Europe (starting with Japan & South Korea).

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: https://op.europa.eu/en/web/eu-vocabularies/euroscivoc.
