4. EluciDATA: general intro
> Mission
stimulate data innovation (i.e. innovation by focused
data exploitation) in (Flemish) companies
> Details
> Started on September 1st, 2014
> 4 year project, ~2.8 FTE, ~1.3M€ budget
> 3 partners
> VIS (« Vlaams InnovatieSamenwerkingsverband ») modality
With
the
support
of

5. Key characteristics
of a VIS traject
> Transfer of existing know-how rather than basic
research
> A concrete problem statement or a demand-driven
opportunity
> Innovative solutions on short-term with clear added-value
> Relevant for a group of companies (~ target group)

6. We will focus on
3 core challenges
1. Being aware of the potential of data innovations
making it tangible, e.g. by translating well-known success-stories in
the specific context of a company
2. Being able to realise data innovations
taking into account technological, organisational, economical &
societal issues
3. Being able to deal with a fast-evolving international
market
scouting international trends and evolutions & focussing on important
needs and challenges

7. Awareness creation & knowledge transfer through
dedicated instruments
> Events
> Demonstrators
> Starter kits
> Training
> Platform for industrial engagement

8. Events

9. EluciDATA-exclusive events
> Focused on sharing specific knowledge on project
results
> 2 events/year
> Restricted to EluciDATA members

10. Open events
> Focused on (more) general topics and “inspiration”
> 3 events/year
> Open for everyone

11. Demonstrators
Making data innovations tangible by
developing proof-of-concepts in selected
domains

12. Generic demonstrator concepts
> Built around specific data innovations
> e.g. entity profiling, predictive maintenance, ...
> Illustrative scenarios & use cases in relevant application
domains
> e.g. energy, mobility, health, security, ...
> A generic reference architecture
> Generic components and APIs for capturing, storing, modeling,
processing, evaluating, ...
> with references to relevant technological platforms, toolkits &
libraries
> Guidelines, best practices & lessons learned
> regarding data characteristics, data processing workflows,
algorithms, evaluation & validation, ...

13. Specific instantiations
> A demonstrator concept tailored to your specific context
> Tuned and integrated into your existing infrastructure
> using technologies, services and solutions from EluciDATA
partners where appropriate
> Validated on company-specific data and/or technology
> Creating specific data processing workflows

14. Starter kits
> A self-contained collection of autodidactic material
> e.g. architectural descriptions, relevant links to technology/
literature, guidelines & best practices, code samples & scripts, ...
> Different presentation formats
> on a specific data innovation and its application to different
domains
> on different data innovations and their application in a specific
domain
> Can be downloaded & used independently

15. Training
Transferring knowledge through custom-made
instruments

16. Master classes
> Interactive courses with a small number of
participants (max. 10) from different companies
> Organized 2-3 times a year
> In collaboration with selected experts from the
EluciDATA network
> First class on “Data science workflows”, scheduled
for Spring 2015

17. On-site courses
> Interactive
> at your company’s premises
> for your company employees
> tailored to your specific data challenges
> in collaboration with selected experts from the
EluciDATA network

18. Training-in-residence
> Intensive training program
> at your company’s premises
> with an individual employee
> working on your specific data challenges
> resulting in a technical report on how to attack your
challenges

19. Platform for industrial
engagement

20. Expert network
> Consisting of experts with unique and specialised
expertise in relevant areas
> e.g. security, privacy, technology, ...
> EluciDATA experts are preferred partners for events
& trainings

21. Innovation and research project
incubator
> We initiate innovation and research projects
> With a complementary consortium of EluciDATA members
> On collective challenges observed
> In different frameworks on national and international level
> IWT, AO, H2020, FI-WARE, ...
> EluciDATA members are preferred partners

22. Student academy
> We define topics for master theses and internships,
aligned with your interests and challenges
> We recruit students from our academic partner
network and supervise them throughout their work
period
> EluciDATA partners are preferred partners

23. EluciDATA as a hub
> liaise on national and international level with formal
and informal organizations
> Informal communities: bigdata.be, Brussels Data Science
community
> Leading research organizations: Fraunhofer, Tecnalia, VTT, …
> Industry associations: ARTEMIS, Big Data Value, EFFRA (factory of
the future), ...
> PPP initiatives: FIWARE, FoF, Big Data
