DATAMITE plenary meeting in Valencia
From 29 to 30 October, the DATAMITE consortium held its final plenary meeting of 2025 in Valencia, Spain. This important meeting was held to discuss the steps needed to achieve the project’s goal before DATAMITE ends, following the grant of an extension. As at the previous plenary meetings in Aachen and in Bilbao, the agenda included a CodeCamp day with the project’s developers on the first day, followed by two days with the entire consortium. Each work package presented its progress and future steps.
Hosted by ITI (Instituto Tecnológico de la Informática), the two-day plenary meeting focused on reviewing project progress, strengthening collaboration, and coordinating upcoming work phases. On the first day, Daniel Sáez Domingo (ITI) delivered a warm welcome, after which an in-depth session was held dedicated to the project management work package. During this session, Santiago Cáceres Elvira (ITI) provided an update on project coordination, while Jordi Arjona Aroca (ITI) shared insights on data asset size. Margit Hofer (ZSI) examined gender bias in data practices, and Santiago Cáceres outlined the definition of new KPIs focused on end-user value.
The morning continued with a live demonstration of the DATAMITE front end, presented by Jordi Arjona (ITI) and Vasilis Siopidis (CERTH), who showcased the latest functionalities of the DATAMITE Framework. After lunch, participants attended the 'A Business and Quality Approach to Fostering the European Data Economy' session, during which Eduardo Vyhmeister (University College Cork), Udo Bub (1001 Lakes) and Rob Schneider (FIR and der RWTH Aachen) presented the final blueprint structure and provided an in-depth analysis of the valuation model. The day concluded with parallel working sessions, during which teams agreed on pilots, KPIs and the next technical and business milestones.
Building on the momentum of the first day, the second day focused on the Integration, Demonstration and Validation work package. The six DATAMITE pilots took centre stage, with each team sharing updates on their progress, validation activities and demonstrations. These presentations demonstrated the substantial technical advancements being achieved in all pilot areas. In the afternoon, the partners split into discussion groups, each dedicated to a specific topic. One group, led by Antonis Sapountzis (AUSTRALO), focused on outreach, exploitation and collaboration. Meanwhile, technical and KPI-oriented discussions continued to ensure coherence across all pilots as the project moved towards upcoming milestones. Santiago Cáceres (ITI) concluded the meeting by providing a summary of the collective achievements and the value of the two days of productive discussions.

Join DATAMITE at the EBDVF 2025
The European Big Data Value Forum (EBDVF) 2025 will take place in Copenhagen from 12 to 14 November. Organised by the Big Data Value Association (BDVA), the EBDVF is the flagship event of the European Big Data, Value and Data-Driven AI Research and Innovation community. It brings together industry professionals, business developers, researchers and policymakers from Europe and other regions of the world to advance policy actions and industrial and research activities in the areas of data and AI.
DATAMITE will be there for the third consecutive year, and we are very excited to be back! The project is proud to be a sponsor of the EBDVF 2025. As part of our sponsorship activities, we will have a booth where we will share the progress and main achievements of the DATAMITE project to date with the hundreds of visitors and participants expected to attend.
In addition to the Booth, DATAMITE is organising and hosting a session entitled 'Data Interoperability and Monetisation: Framework, Use Cases and Market Adoption', taking place on Thursday 13 from 14:00 to 15:00. This session will present the DATAMITE framework, which facilitates data monetisation, interoperability and trading across sectors. We will present real-world examples in which the framework has been validated and supported the development of the Data Maturity Model. We will also demonstrate how some of its components are already being offered as services by partners and incorporated into market-oriented solutions that support businesses. Finally, a panel discussion will explore how these solutions can accelerate adoption and market impact, translating technical innovation into real business value.
As we did for the 2024 edition, we will be hosting a session with the EUDATA+ cluster, as well as sharing a 6-square-metre booth. Taking place on Thursday 13 from 11:00 to 13:00, the session will build on last year's topic by exploring the data lifecycle in depth, from generation to monetisation. It will showcase innovative tools and solutions and explain how they can enhance companies' data management and monetisation strategies.
Don't miss this opportunity to meet our talented team in person. We look forward to seeing you in Copenhagen!
