Data|Research (DARE) Call 2025 - Applications for Research

Scope of the Call

This call is open for projects which engage with current needs in the promotion of good data practices in a defined context as as "executable applications" for data in research. "Applications" should be understood widely as, e.g.,  transferable use cases, software prototypes, modelling, information/data models (metadata, schema definitions and ontologies), data environments.
"Executable" means that the applications developed should be easily integrated into code or software environments in due course. They should be transferable and scalable.  

Projects should provide applications delivering delivering useful services to research/ers,  either by rendering existing data processes more efficient or by providing tools that allow for new approaches. The outcomes of the projects shall support data collection for research and its further use, however, should not be tied to a specific research project project but be of wider relevance also supporting interoperable data integration.  

Projects can take place in any scientific area, i.e., is not limited to computer science. However, the nature of the projects requires the integration of IT competences into the projects.
