Deadline: 24-Jan-23
The European Commission (EC) is seeking proposals for its Data Space for Media.
The data infrastructure for media will enhance Europe’s digital autonomy and strengthen forms of citizens’ participation in the public sphere. It will boost the use of data for innovative content (both entertainment and news), production and distribution.
Scope
The data space will provide the whole media value chain with an advanced and shared data infrastructure. This data infrastructure will be tested by means of the creation of innovative solutions for the production, curation, circulation and distribution of media content, and in particular through new platforms for quality content, across the Union.
Objectives
- The Media and Audiovisual Action Plan is developed around three areas: recovery, transformation, and enabling and empowerment. Its Action 4 aims to foster innovation through the creation of a media data space to encourage and support media companies in sharing data and developing innovative solutions and encouraging new business models.
- The objective is to respond to the challenge of boosting innovation and mobilize the media industry and provide a strong support for the creation of a European data space able to foster the competitiveness of the European media sector. Such a data infrastructure will be used to boost the use of data for innovative content (entertainment, education and news), and for innovative production and distribution.
