A Competitive Intelligence Cloud/HPC Platform for AI-based STI Policy Making

IntelComp sets out to build an innovative Cloud Platform that will offer Artificial Intelligence based services to public administrators and policy makers across Europe for data- and evidence-driven policy design and implementation in the field of Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) policy. Large STI datasets are processed on High Performance Computing (HPC) environment part of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) imitative.

Circular Economy Transition (CE) in Smart Specialization Strategy(S3)

The EU has set an ambitious plan for the adoption and implementation of the Circular Economy (CE). The Plan estimates that by 2030 the integration of CE will result in savings of over 600 billion EUR for EU businesses, will create 580,000 new jobs and will contribute to the reduction of 450 million tons greenhouse gases. Member States are key players in Europe’s transition to a circular economy.

Cross border regional labour Market Analysis

The project will assess existing experience of cross-border labour market analysis across Europe and develop guidance on how to conduct such analysis at the regional level. Over the course of 18 months, a project team will investigate the potentials and obstacles and provide suggestions on how to overcome them. The project will also tap into the knowledge of this community by involving cross-border practitioners through surveys, interviews and case studies. 

Enhancing the take-up of FIs under the European Social Fund

A study investigating how the Greek government can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of projects supported by the European Social Fund Plus in the 2021-2027 Programming Period.

International study on Scientific Service Companies

The target of this report, commissioned by Technopolis Group on behalf of Deutsches Elektronen Synchroton (DESY), was to understand how Scientific Service Companies (SSCs) can be created and grow. Research in Commercial Analytical Research Organisations (CAROs), Contract Research Organisations (CROs) and Research and Technology Organisations (RTOs) helped identifying SSCs in the area of New Materials, which were used as a case to understand at least one segment of the market, which may be used as a pilot to expand to other sectors as well.

Monitoring the performance of EU industry and industrial ecosystems

The general objective of this project is to effectively and efficiently support the implementation of the EC's industrial strategy, by implementing a monitoring framework and providing analytical and operational support to the Industrial Forum EC expert group. The specific objectives are:
