E-REDES Business Exploitation Workshop: Exploring DATAMITE Integration
On 25th September, E-REDES, DATAMITE use case provider, organised a Business Exploitation Workshop in Lisbon, Portugal. The event brought together representatives from 14 different departments within EDP Networks Iberia to deepen the progress and potential of the DATAMITE project and its framework within E-REDES operations.
The main objective of the workshop was to showcase the progress made on the E-REDES DATAMITE pilot during the first reporting period of DATAMITE, focusing on improving data management and exploitation capabilities.
During the workshop, several key presentations were given by experts in the field:
- Santiago Cáceres Elvira (ITI) presented the DATAMITE project, outlining the objectives, the team and the results achieved in the initial 18 months.
- Jordi Arjona Aroca (ITI) presented the functional components of the DATAMITE framework.
- Mariano Blaya Andrey (IDSA) explained the Data Space concept, its importance and protocol.
- Ricardo Almeida Henriques (E-REDES) concluded the series of presentations with an overview of the business perspective of the pilot and the work done.
After the presentations, a dynamic group session allowed participants to propose innovative use cases for the DATAMITE framework. These use cases cover the three main areas of E-REDES operations: network management, asset management and customer engagement. Each use case will be analysed and evaluated to assess its applicability within the project. This process will determine the potential value that these innovations could bring, as well as establish a roadmap for their future implementation.

AGRO SHOW 2024 involving DATAMITE
AGRO SHOW, the largest open-air agricultural exhibition in Europe, was held from 20 to 22 September 2024 in Bednary, Poland. The International Agricultural Exhibition has been organized by the Polish Chamber of Commerce of Agricultural Machinery and Facilities since 1999, becoming a premier event in agricultural technology where farmers and agrifood related companies can explore technical innovations and a diverse array of products. The event facilitates valuable interactions between manufacturers, importers and farmers, enabling them to exchange knowledge on various agricultural aspects.
This year, the exhibition attracted 76,200 visitors and was attended by 670 companies, 106 of which were international. The Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center (PSNC) - one of DATAMITE’s agricultural use case providers - did not want to miss this important event. PSNC had a booth at the fair from which it promoted the DATAMITE project by projecting a presentation and showing the attendees at the event how DATAMITE supports the development of data spaces solutions for agriculture.

DATAMITE at IEEE COINS 2024
The IEEE International Conference on Omni-layer Intelligent systems (COINS) 2024 was held from 29 to 31 July in hybrid mode: online and face-to-face in London, UK. The conference includes a multidisciplinary programme, from technical research papers to panels, workshops and tutorials on the latest technological developments and innovations addressing all important aspects of the IoT & AI ecosystem, bringing together experts in Digital Transformation, from AI and IoT to Cloud, Blockchain, Cybersecurity and Robotics, from around the world.
One of this year’s vertical tracks discussed during the conference was ‘smart agriculture’ with the aim of exchanging and discussing innovative proposals on agriculture, livestock farming, aquaculture and forestry based on Internet of Things and other related technologies, techniques and architectures. DATAMITE played a leading role in the discussions on this topic thanks to the Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center (PSNC) -DATAMITE ‘Connecting eDWIN to data markets’ use case provider-. PSNC led the track on two sessions highlighting AI, IoT & data management in agriculture.
Marcin Plociennik from PSNC presented a shared paper titled ‘Architecture of the Framework Supporting Data Monetization: Building Blocks to Foster Data Sharing in the Agriculture Domain’, followed by a discussion on the data monetisation aspects and the related challenges in the agriculture area.

Open Science Practices in DATAMITE
Before starting to talk about any subject, it is necessary to define the topic to be addressed. So let's start with the basics: what is open science? It is an approach to the scientific process based on open cooperative work, tools and the dissemination of knowledge. DATAMITE is fully committed to open science practices, following the guidelines set by Horizon Europe. Our approach is based on four key principles that ensure transparency, reproducibility and broad public awareness throughout the research process.
Early and Open Research Exchange
At DATAMITE, we believe that sharing research results and plans early in the process improves the overall quality of the work. By sharing our plans prior to implementation, we ensure a more rigorous and unbiased approach, which reinforces the validity of our output.
Management of Research Results for Reproducibility
We make all data, methods and findings publicly available through open access repositories, allowing others to reproduce and build on our work. To facilitate this, we use standardised frameworks and persistent identifiers (PIDs), which help ensure that our research can be reliably reproduced and reused by the wider scientific community.
Open Access and Peer Review
Open access to research results is another fundamental component of DATAMITE's approach. We adhere to EU regulations on open access and open science, making our work accessible to the widest possible audience. We use two strategies to achieve the highest possible impact: Green Open Access (self-archiving in open repositories) and Gold Open Access (publication in open access journals). By contributing to the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), we help make data and research results easily discoverable, sharable and interoperable across platforms and disciplines.
Stakeholder Involvement and Citizen Science
Public and stakeholder participation plays a vital role in DATAMITE's success. This inclusive approach not only increases the relevance and effectiveness of our work, but also enhances creativity and transparency. By collaborating with policy makers, businesses and citizens, we ensure that our research is aligned with society's needs and values, while expanding the scope and quality of our data.
Additional Efforts to Guarantee Open Science
In addition to the key principles described above, DATAMITE uses online repositories to manage and publish research materials, making them available with different access permissions. We rely on platforms such as Zenodo, which is part of the EOSC, to deposit both publications and datasets. We also encourage the use of Open Research Europe, a platform that offers open access publishing without author fees, ensuring that our research remains accessible and compliant with open access standards. Wherever possible, we make our datasets publicly available through the official EU data portal.
Finally, DATAMITE also takes great care to adhere to Open Science standards. We ensure that all peer-reviewed publications are deposited in trusted repositories under Creative Commons licences, providing immediate open access. Each publication is accompanied by detailed metadata, ensuring compliance with FAIR principles and making our research fully transparent and accessible to others.
