PTI+ Digital Science

Towards an inclusive and innovative digital society

We are the Digital Science Platform. Our mission is to innovate in all areas of digital science and data lifecycle management, from planning, acquisition and processing to publication and preservation. This PTI has a clear focus on innovation in all areas that generate economic and societal impact, with special interest in health and wellbeing, agriculture, climate and secure society. This platform also aims to promote training in digital competencies to facilitate everyday tasks.

We believe in open and innovative science, in making data accessible to society and in commonly used infrastructures to develop competitive capabilities. We also regard the ethical aspects of scientific integrity and responsible research as essential; and will observe the regulatory and methodological procedures that ensure good scientific and dissemination practices, especially those related to confidentiality and data protection, data security, open access, or biases in algorithms.

Challenges
