This document summarizes the ESSnet Big Data Pilots II project. It discusses: 1) The European strategy for big data and trusted smart statistics, which led to two ESSnet projects - ESSnet Big Data Pilots I and II. 2) The characteristics of ESSnet Big Data Pilots II, which had 28 participants from 23 national statistical institutes. It was coordinated by Statistics Netherlands from 2018-2020. 3) The project was organized into three tracks - implementation pilots, new pilot projects, and preparing for smart statistics - covering domains like online job vacancies, enterprise data, energy usage, and more. The document reviews the goals and results of the different work
