Introducing the Third-Party Projects of OpenWebSearch.EU
Together for a free and open web search of the next generation
Third-Party activities are driving forces in the OpenWebSearch.eu Community Programme, with project fundings provided by the OpenWebSearch.eu project (funded by the EC under the GA 101070014).
Third-Party projects are closely related to the topics addressed in the OpenWebSearch.eu project and aim to extend and enrich existing R&D activities. They also pursue new activities that are complementary to the project goals and objectives.
By mid-2024 we have closed the last set of open calls for Third-Party research contributions. Since its beginning, the OpenWebSearch.eu project consortium has identified and onboarded 14 funded Third-Party projects in total. Call 1 in 2023 resulted in six Third-Party projects covering technical, legal and economic matters. In 2024 new partners from Calls 2 and 3 joined with specifically targeted technical application projects as well as data/supercomputing infrastructure.
