This interactive publication is a key document that aims to guide the activities of BDVA community, identifying key challenges, opportunities, regulations and policies, and social and technological trends in Europe and globally. The agenda provides insights and recommendations to policymakers and industry stakeholders based on identified research, innovation, and deployment challenges within the established scope of BDVA. Finally, it is intended to set the priorities for BDVA Task Forces and create a cohesive framework for collaboration among them, ensuring synergies with external communities and partners.
The Strategic Agenda is a dynamic document designed to adapt and evolve over time. While the main strategic themes have been set up as a consistent guide in the years to come, the associated insights, challenges, opportunity and priorities will be regularly reviewed and updated, ensuring that they remain relevant and capable of impacting the ongoing discussions in the research and innovation ecosystem.
This agenda is the result of a community driven collaborative work, developed through a series of workshops and activities with members, projects and other stakeholders.
The general structure of this Strategic Agenda, including the distribution of content across the three strategic pillars, together with the cross-cutting enablers and emerging topics, has been validated by the BDVA community, including the BDVA Board of Directors. In addition, the materialisation of these pillars through a set of fundamental directions addressing specific topics has also been validated by the BDVA community.
However, the full assessment and further development of the topics included under these directions are still a work in progress. Therefore, the corresponding sections of this Strategic Agenda should be considered as evolving content, which will be further extended, refined and consolidated as the work progresses.
