International Conference on Artificial Intelligence Applications and Innovations (AIAI) 2024
The 20th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence Applications and Innovations (AIAI) was held from 27 - 30 June in a Hybrid format, in Corfu and online. AIAI is a renowned international conference that brings together scientists and researchers each year to exchange the latest and most cutting-edge advances in the field. Its programme includes workshops that provide an ideal setting for the presentation of leading-edge conference papers.
DATAMITE had a strong presence at this year’s conference. On the one hand, DATAMITE organised and moderated a panel discussion with other EU-funded projects, and, on the other hand, the project presented five conference papers in two different sessions. The day with the highest number of DATAMITE participants was Thursday, 27 June, the first day of the conference. DATAMITE participated in the 5G-PINE 2: 5G – Putting Intelligence to the Network Edge (5G-PINE) Workshop with four Conference Papers:
- “Boosting Data Monetization with DATAMITE”, led by Jordi Arjona Aroca from ITI and presented by Vasilis Siopidis from CERTH.
- “Data Monetization Opportunities and Challenges: The European Landscape by DATAMITE”, led and presented by Christos-Antonios Gizelis from OTE.
- “Market Analysis of a Data Platform in the European Data Ecosystem”, led by Gabriel Gonzalez-Castañe and presented by Eduardo Vyhmeister from University College Cork.
- “Scalable Data Profiling for Quality Analytics Extraction”, led by Anastasios Nikolakopoulos and presented by Efthymios Chondrogiannis from ICCS - NTUA.
Following the publications presentation session, DATAMITE organised an interactive session - panel discussion to bring together experts from various EU-funded projects to discuss the importance and impact of data and its monetisation in various industries. The session was moderated by Antonis Sapountzis (AUSTRALO), Outreach, Exploitation, and Collaboration leader of DATAMITE. The participating projects, together with DATAMITE, were: ELOQUENCE, CyberSecDome, 6G-PATH, AMBITIOUS and Smart5Grid.
“Communication and dissemination activities are essential for European projects. It is very important to be able to transfer the knowledge, and the outcomes and the results of the project to the general public, but also to the targeted stakeholders -the potential users- and to the future companies and organisations that will use the project results”, Antonis Sapountzis states.
To conclude its participation in the conference, DATAMITE took part in the CSAD ( Cyber Security / Anomaly Detection) session on Saturday 29th, with a conference paper called “A Network-based Intrusion Detection System based on widely used Cybersecurity Datasets and State of the Art ML techniques”, led and presented by Efthymios Chondrogiannis from ICCS - NTUA.
The Artificial Intelligence Applications and Innovations (AIAI) Conference has been held continuously since 2005 under the auspices of the IFIP WG12.5. Over the years, it has evolved into a well-respected and mature event under the technical and scientific co-sponsorship of the AIAI community. This community comprises an extended group of leading scientists, not only from Europe but also from all over the globe.
DATAMITE returns to Field Days
The National Field Days, the largest industry event in Poland, attracting thousands of visitors and hundreds of industry companies from all over Poland every year, took place from 7 to 8 June 2024. After the success of last year's edition, DATAMITE has participated again thanks to two of the consortium members: the Wielkopolska Agricultural Advisory Centre in Poznan (WODR) and the Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center (PSNC).
The two partners had a shared booth during the event where they presented the project and showed the latest developments to all visitors of the event. This year's focus was on solutions for data exchange between businesses and ecosystems. A topic that both partners are taking to the next level thanks to the DATAMITE use case "connecting eDWIN to data marts", where they are working together using the DATAMITE framework to overcome the challenges faced by eDWIN in relation to the lack of available data, as it relies mainly on data provided by users and different public services.

DATAMITE at Data Week 2024
The second part of Data Week 2024 took place in Leuven (Belgium) on 5 June. This second part, in conjunction with the LAILEC conference, featured sessions, panels and talks by high-level European and national speakers and leading industry and research experts in Big Data Value and Industrial AI. The main topics of this edition gravitated around the legal and ethical aspects of data and AI: AI Law Enforcement, Generative AI/Foundation Models, Data Spaces, Data Quality, Synthetic Data and AI Regulatory Sandboxes.
Under the theme Data Value Unlocked, 11 sessions were held, including "Data Value creation", in which DATAMITE participated. This session discussed relevant aspects to take into account when obtaining high value from data, especially when including the new dimension of data sharing through data spaces. Building on previous discussions, such as the sessions held during the Data Week part 1 / Symposium on Data Spaces in Darmstadt, the session brought together experts to delve deeper into some key aspects of creating value from data, presenting different perspectives on the topic and identifying new avenues of exploration. Daniel Sáez Domingo, Technology Transfer Director ITI, attended on behalf of DATAMITE to participate in the experts discussion, held during the second part of the debate.
Data Week is the spring gathering of the European Big Data and Data Driven AI research and innovation communities. Data Week is organised by the Big Data Value Association.

DATAMITE at the Data Spaces Symposium 2024
From 12 to 14 March, the Data Spaces Symposium took place in Darmstadtium, Frankfurt Region (Germany). Organised by the Data Spaces Support Centre (DSSC) and the Data Spaces Business Alliance (DSBA), this symposium is a pivotal gathering for those at the forefront of data space innovation and strategy. It serves as a platform to showcase the latest market-ready use cases, advanced technology solutions for existing and emerging data spaces. The Data Spaces symposium includes sessions from Data Week 2024.
Under the theme "data value unlock!" Data Week organised 11 sessions, bringing together 65 speakers in total. DATAMITE was proud to be part of the programme, taking part in the session called 'Navigating the Future of Data Monetisation: Insights from Horizon Europe projects'. The session brought together six Horizon Europe projects – UPCAST, FAME, PISTIS, EnrichMyData, Graph-Massivizer and DATAMITE – to explore the multifaceted dimensions of data monetization. Through a comprehensive dialogue, all the projects together aimed to unravel the value, challenges, and approaches associated with transforming data into economic assets. Liliana Beltrán, Project Manager at ITI, was in charge of representing DATAMITE and sharing, among other things, the case studies of the project to address the challenges of data monetisation and to make European companies and administrations a relevant actor in the data economy.

Launch Event: showcasing the future of innovation in AI, Data, and Robotics, by Adra
On 9 February 2024 the “Launch Event: showcasing the future of innovation in AI, Data, and Robotics” took place, organised by Adra-e (the AI Data Robotics Association). Adra-e, AIonDemand, and the European Commission came together to unveil the new batch of projects funded under several Horizon Europe 2023 and 2022 calls. DATAMITE was one of them.
The highlight of the event was a series of dynamic 2-minute pitch video presentations from the 54 projects funded across diverse domains. This unique format allowed each project to showcase its vision, objectives, and impact in a concise yet impactful manner. Santiago Cáceres, from ITI and coordinator of DATAMITE, was in charge of representing the project with a video-pitch that synthesised and illustrated in a simple way our main objective, the way in which the developments are being carried out and validated and the benefits that DATAMITE will bring for the monetisation of the data.
Watch DATAMITE’s pitch here.
