The year is coming to an end, but we are already looking into 2023 and making new opportunities for our members. Next year, the BDVA community will have an increasing focus on ethical and Trustworthy AI and how it will actualise across industries. We will continue building the European Data Spaces and work closely with the HPC community to help this vision to become reality. BDVA will support the creation of the capabilities of European companies through skills and engage more actively with the EU’s digital policies. And these topics are just to name a few.
We are still accepting new member applications for January. By joining the BDVA now, you can start the year by working with the community leading the development of the European ecosystem for data and AI.
On Tuesday 15th and Wednesday 16th of March, the BDVA community reunited over a two days Activity Group meeting. The 49th AG meeting looked outside the borders of the Big Data research & innovation community and brought inputs from different fields that impact the Big Data ecosystem. The meeting also hosted the European Commission to present recent regulatory developments, and the Data Spaces Business Alliance to open its doors for a wider audience.
On the first day, BDVA met with EuroCC, the network of competence centres on High-Performance Computing (HPC) together with the EUHubs4Data project (federation of i-Spaces). Also the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking was present, of which BDVA is a member. The workshop connects the data, AI and HPC ecosystems, found synergies and addressed common topics and challenges.
