Learn more about grant funding at the 2020-2 CEF Telecom Virtual Info Day on 16 July
On Thursday 16 July 2020, the Innovation and Networks Executive Agency (INEA) is organising a virtual info day from 09:30 to 14:10 outlining the eight priorities of the second 2020 CEF Telecom call, including CEF eArchiving and Public Open Data.
This call makes €1 million in CEF grant funding is available to co-fund projects deploying the CEF eArchiving building block. eArchiving provides technical standards and specifications for preserving, migrating and reusing data securely, while ensuring data integrity and interoperability with other systems.
This funding will focus on domains that need digital preservation services and tools other than national archives, such as digital libraries, justice, finance, environment etc. It will also aim to stimulate the integration of eArchiving tools and services with other CEF building blocks and other digital service infrastructures that can benefit from them.
In addition, the Public Open Data call makes €3 million available in grant funding to projects looking to generate, make accessible and reuse public sector information in a way that creates direct and indirect benefits for EU citizens, businesses and public administrations. Projects looking to generate, disseminate and/or reuse open-access public data are strongly encouraged to do so using existing APIs, such as the CEF Context Broker building block. Context Broker is an API funded by the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) that gathers data from various sources for visualisation and analysis in real-time.
The event will explain the policy context of the calls. It will also give information about the evaluation process and will provide valuable tips & tricks on writing a good proposal.
You can submit your questions in advance by email in advance to INEA-CEF-Telecoms-Infoday@ec.europa.eu. During the event it will also be possible to send questions on Slido using the hashtag #CEFTelecomDay.
