This event will provide an excellent opportunity to present and discuss the main policy drivers of the digital transformation of European industry and society and how the EU research and innovation agenda can best contribute to these objectives. The event will also present the Horizon 2020 Work Programme, and serve as a unique networking platform for ICT enthusiasts and professionals.
The programme
The Digital Excellence Forum will start with a plenary debate on “Partnering for Digital Excellence”. Partnerships are a strategic implementation mechanism to align research agendas, leverage investments at European and National levels, and mobilise private co-investment from industry. This plenary session will be an opportunity to listen to European leaders debating about key challenges that Europe will face in the coming decade and how European programmes catalyse investments in shared R&I goals.
The event will have a separate track of open dialogue sessions on the upcoming Digital Europe Programme, which main objective is to boost Europe's sustainable digital transformation for the benefit of citizens and businesses. These sessions will provide a unique opportunity for participants to get an insight of the Commission proposal for the first two years of the programme and to share their views and ideas for programme investments focus in the next two years.
ICT Proposers’ Day 2019 tracks will focus on the upcoming calls of the Horizon 2020 Work Programme in the field of Information & Communication Technologies, Future and Emerging Technologies (FET), and Societal Challenges. The event will offer an exceptional opportunity to build quality partnerships with academics, researchers, industrial stakeholders, SMEs and government actors from all over Europe.
Commission officials will be at your disposal to reply to your questions on ICT-related topics of the 2018–20 work programme and the content of the next calls for proposals. Networking stands will serve as meeting points to facilitate interactions between people interested in the same research topics.
Information sessions are designed to present the main features of the work programme and to assist participants on how to prepare and submit a proposal to answer a Horizon 2020 call.

Data sovereignty as a success factor for digital ecosystems
Innovation in business ecosystems is increasingly taking place through the cross-company exchange of data. When providing data, however, producers and data owners are often at risk of losing control of the strategic value of their data resources. The consequence of this is that the sharing of data to date is limited and thus the potential of data ecosystems remain unused. The International Data Spaces address this cross-industry conflict by enabling data sharing while protecting data sovereignty and aim to create a secure data room that enables businesses of all types and sizes to manage their assets with confidence.
As part of the International Data Spaces initiative, the Fraunhofer Academy and the Fraunhofer Institute for Software and Systems Technology ISST offer the seminars »Basic Seminar Data Sovereignty and International Data Space».
