Project description
Digital and green transitions that benefit society and the environment
Transitioning to a future that is both digital and sustainable provides an opportunity for Europe to become a leader in the global economy while ensuring humans and the environment are firmly at the centre of technological developments. To this end, the EU-funded HiPEAC project aims to strengthen European leadership in the global data economy and accelerate the digital and green transitions through human-centred innovations. The project will take two approaches: first, it will guide the research and innovation of key enabling technologies as part of comprehensive value chains through roadmapping and alignment activities; second, it will develop the European computing ecosystem that underpins digital transformation through networking and capacity-building activities.
Objective
The objective of HiPEAC is to stimulate and reinforce the development of the dynamic European computing ecosystem that supports the digital transformation of Europe. It does so by guiding the future research and innovation of key digital, enabling, and emerging technologies, sectors, and value chains. The longer term goal is to strengthen European leadership in the global data economy and to accelerate and steer the digital and green transitions through human-centred technologies and innovations. This will be achieved via mobilising and connecting European partnerships and stakeholders to be involved in the research, innovation and development of computing and systems technologies. They will provide roadmaps supporting the creation of next-generation computing technologies, infrastructures, and service platforms.
The key aim is to support and contribute to rapid technological development, market uptake and digital autonomy for Europe in advanced digital technology (hardware and software) and applications across the whole European digital value chain. HiPEAC will do this by connecting and upscaling existing initiatives and efforts, by involving the key stakeholders, and by improving the conditions for large-scale market deployment. The next-generation computing and systems technologies and applications developed will increase European autonomy in the data economy. This is required to support future hyper-distributed applications and provide new opportunities for further disruptive digital transformation of the economy and society, new business models, economic growth, and job creation.
The HiPEAC CSA proposal directly addresses the research, innovation, and development of next generation computing and systems technologies and applications. The overall goal is to support the European value chains and value networks in computing and systems technologies across the computing continuum from cloud to edge computing to the Internet of Things (IoT).
