Focus and activities

The Task Force Roadmap, Strategic Agenda and Programme coordinates ongoing activities of different nature (i.e. consultations, development of papers etc.) to maintain the SRIA (Strategic  Research Agenda) and SRIDA (Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda) up to date, which is a key priority for BDVA in the context of the Partnerships and Alliances in which it participates. Furthermore, the Big Data Value Association is frequently asked to provide input and feedback to the R&D&I Work Programmes of the European Commission. The collection and provision of such feedback is very important for BDVA in order to achieve its objectives as organisation but is also very relevant for BDVA members which can help in building the roadmaps for EU research and innovation policies in the area of Big Data and AI. In the context of the implementation of the Multiannual Financial Framework 2021 - 2027, this activity is primarily focused on Cluster 4 - Digital, Industry and Space in Horizon Europe and on the Digital Europe Programme.
