Are you interested in contributing to the development of groundbreaking technology which will push Europe forward by looking on its history? Do you want to leverage your personal profile and network by collaborating with some of the world\u2019s most renowned research institutions, leading companies, and important administrative bodies? Do you want to grab this unique opportunity to boost your personal future?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Background:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In early 2016, the European Commission held a public consultation<\/a>\n of the research community to gather ideas on science and technology \nchallenges that could be addressed through future FET Flagships. End of \n2016, Commissioner Oettinger hosted a round-table<\/a>\n event with high-level representatives from the Member States, industry \nand academia. They agreed on three major areas where promising grand \nscience and technology challenges could be addressed by the FET \nFlagships: „ICT and connected society“, „Health and the life sciences“ \nand „Energy, environment and climate change“. As a result, a call for preparatory actions<\/a> for future research initiatives was launched in October 2017 as part of the Horizon 2020 FET Work Programme 2018<\/a>. From the 33 proposals submitted, six were selected after a two-stage evaluation by independent high-level experts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\n European Commission has chosen Time Machine as one of the six proposals\n retained for preparing large scale research initiatives to be \nstrategically developed in the next decade. \u20ac1 million in funding has \nbeen granted for preparing the detailed roadmaps of this initiative that\n aims at extracting and utilising the Big Data of the past. Time Machine\n foresees to design and implement advanced new digitisation and \nArtificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to mine Europe\u2019s vast cultural\n heritage, providing fair and free access to information that will \nsupport future scientific and technological developments in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time\n Machine promotes a unique alliance of leading European academic and \nresearch organisations, cultural heritage institutions and private \nenterprises that are fully aware of the huge potential of digitisation \nand the very promising new paths for science, technology and innovation \nthat can be opened through the information system that will be \ndeveloped, based on the Big Data of the Past. In addition to the 33 core\n institutions that will be funded by the European Commission, more than \n200 organisations from 33 countries are participating to the \ninitiatives, including seven national libraries (Austria, Belgium, \nFrance, Israel, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland), 19 state archives \n(Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, \nGermany, Hungary,Lithuania, Malta, Norway, Poland, Romania, Slovenia, \nSpain, Slovakia, Sweden, and Switzerland), famous museums (Louvre, \nRijkmuseum), 95 academic and research institutions, 30 European \ncompanies and 18 governmental bodies. In the next 12 months, Time \nMachine is expected to grow as a large community of communities, sharing\n a standardised platform, with more empowering tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within the \nTime Machine the TU Dresden is responsible to develop the strategy and \nimplementation plan for Outreach and Innovation. The work is organised \naround tasks Dissemination, Policy and Legal Issues, Ethics, Knowledge \nTransfer, and Exploitation Support Structures. The specific objectives \nare to prepare a roadmap, involve and engage relevant stakeholders, \nidentify funding sources and determine conditions facilitating access to\n funding. TU Dresden will be responsible for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
