MediaFutures Open Calls Data-Set

The Data-Set includes the data collected through the cascade funding open calls carried out during the H2020 MediaFutures project with the title “MediaFutures, Data-driven innovation hub for the media value chain”. The responsible and innovative use of data is instrumental in today's digitalised media industry. The EU-funded MediaFutures project has addressed this challenge by reshaping the media value chain. It has set up a virtual European data innovation hub to support entrepreneurial and innovative projects. It has also established a participatory inclusive innovation program encouraging synergies between businesses and creators and organised a competition to identify innovative digital entrepreneurs, creatives and data-empowered solutions. By delivering data and experimentation facilities to the winners, the project has showcased and improved their ideas. It has also facilitated the technical, legal, business and sustainability mentoring of businesses and artists and helped them achieve further access to funding. The virtual European data innovation hub has been supported by an international network of European organisations. The project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement 951962. The file contains data from the open calls, webinars, matchmaking events and help-desk activities carried out during the MediaFutures project. It includes data such as the number of applications received, data regarding eligibility and in-eligibility of applications, from which country the applications came, how many projects were evaluated and funded, data on the gender and ethnicity of applicants, etc. For more information and context related to the data, see also the following deliverables published on the MediaFutures website (https://mediafutures.eu/resources/): D1.4: Summary of Calls v1, D1.5: Summary of Open Calls v2, D1.6: Summary of Calls v3.
