New Interreg funding for data-driven research and innovation

DataCatalyst Öresund has been approved for funding through Interreg. With a total budget of €2.63 million, the project brings together Lund University, the Technical University of Denmark and Medicon Valley Alliance to strengthen data-driven research and innovation across the Öresund region.

The project connects industry needs with leading data expertise to turn complex datasets into innovation and accelerate their path to market. It addresses the growing demand for advanced computing, data analysis and visualization by linking expertise and resources across institutional and national boundaries.

“The value of data is not determined by how much we collect, but by how much we understand. Through DataCatalyst Öresund, we are strengthening the ability of researchers, innovators and companies to transform complex data into knowledge, innovation and societal impact” says Kajsa M. Paulsson, Project Director, DataCatalyst Öresund and HALRIC, Vice Director, InfraVis and Director, CIPA.

DataCatalyst Öresund will further strengthen collaboration between InfraVis and QIM, combining expertise in image analysis, visualization and data-driven innovation.

The project builds on established collaboration between InfraVis/CIPA at Lund University and QIM at DTU, as well as networks from HALOS and HALRIC, taking the next step in developing shared expertise, services and workflows across the region.
