Proposers Days are discussion fora for organisations that are interested to participate in a research project and want to benefit from performing collaborative research through one of the EUREKA Clusters CELTIC-NEXT or EUROGIA.
This was the first time that the two EUREKA Clusters team up for a Joint Call and we expect that Project Proposals in telecommunications and ICT as well as in the green Energy domain will be created.
Because it is a Joint Call between EUROGIA and CELTIC-NEXT, the applications will be submitted via the Call portal in order to synchronize the submission process.

SENDATE Closing Event in Kista, Sweden
2019-03-26 - 2019-03-28 | Ericsson Headquarters, Torshamnsgatan 21, Kista, 164 40, Sweden
The flagship project for secure networking of data centers in Europe
Today, large data centers are the most important hubs of the Internet. They have a huge computing power and are located far away from the customer. This leads to low flexibility, high traffic in the network, long delays and security concerns. The consequences are that more convergence of telecommunication networks and IT is needed and that data centers are more distributed and are located closer to the customers. The strategic goal of the 3 year CELTIC-NEXT project SENDATE is to pave the way to this new network topology through de-localized and securely connected date centers. Therefore, the SENDATE project is seen as the European answer for a secure, flexible and efficient control of data flows in the Internet.

SENDATE Mid-Term Event in Paris
2017-11-21 - 2017-11-22 | Orange Gardens, 44, Avenue de la République, Châtillon, 92320, France
The flagship project for secure networking of data centers in Europe
Today, large data centers are the most important hubs of the Internet. They have a huge computing power and are located far away from the customer. This leads to low flexibility, high traffic in the network, long delays and security concerns. The consequences are that more convergence of telecommunication networks and IT is needed and that data centers are more distributed and are located closer to the customers. The strategic goal of the 3 year CELTIC-NEXT project SENDATE is to pave the way to this new network topology through de-localized and securely connected date centers. Therefore, the SENDATE project is seen as the European answer for a secure, flexible and efficient control of data flows in the Internet.

SENDATE Kick-Off Event in Berlin
2016-10-17 13:00 - 2016-10-18 01:00 | Kalkscheune, Johannisstraße 2, Berlin, 10117, Germany
New flagship project for secure networking of data centres in Europe
Today, large data centres are the most important control points of the Internet. They have a huge computing power and are located far away from the customer. This leads to low flexibility, high traffic in the network, long delays and security concerns. The consequence is that more convergence of telecommunication networks and IT is needed, and data centres must be located closer to the customers. The goal of the 3 year CELTIC-NEXT project SENDATE is to pave the way to this new network topology through delocalised and securely connected date centres.
The kick-off event of this important European flagship project took place in Berlin on 17 October 2016. Participants included high level representatives from industry and public funding organisations. The participants discussed how SENDATE will contribute to achieving the important goal of more secure data centres in Europe.
The project consortium also presented their ambitions and show how European data centres will be connected through enhanced transport networks and improved networking concepts that will results in reinforced overall security. This project is seen as the European answer for better control of data flows and new security concepts in the internet.
SENDATE, Secure Networking for a Data Centre Cloud in Europe, is a 70 million euro public-private partnership project comprising 93 companies, research organisations, and universities from Germany, France, Finland, Norway and Sweden. The project runs from April 2016 to May 2019 under CELTIC-NEXT, the EUREKA Cluster for a Smart Connected World, and is partly publicly funded by the research ministries/ agencies BMBF (Germany), DGE (France), TEKES (Finland), and VINNOVA (Sweden).
