The Pan-European Data Centre Academy (PEDCA) is a strategic research initiative funded by the EU to support the data centre sector with a budget of €1.7 million over 18 months, starting July 2013. The project aims to address growth challenges, energy efficiency, and skills development in EU data centres through collaboration among academics, government, and industry. Key activities include regional analysis, training requirements assessment, and the development of a joint action plan to enhance the sector's sustainability and innovation.
