We are pleased to officially launch the BigDataEurope project which aims at developing a Big Data platform based on requirements identified with stakeholders from the seven H2020 societal challenges: Climate, Energy, Health, Transport, Social sciences, Food and Security. The consortium will engage with these communities to identify their big data technology needs, to design and realise the required ICT infrastructure and support the use and deployment of the platform.
