Work description

This scholarship is part of an innovative project that aims to contribute to the future of industrial data sharing. It offers the opportunity to work on the architecture of data ecosystems, based on Data Spaces reference models, one of the most advanced concepts in data management and sharing. The work focuses on creating and configuring essential infrastructures for two different industrial sectors, ensuring that the solutions developed are adapted to the needs and specificities of each sector. Over the course of the scholarship, the scholar will have the opportunity to:

1. Explore and analyse reference models and architectures for creating data ecosystems.
2. Configure and instantiate technological infrastructures aligned with the Data Spaces reference model.
3. Test and validate solutions by implementing proofs of concept in two industrial sectors.
4. Contribute to the writing of technical-scientific documents and the dissemination of project results.

The scholar will take part in a pioneering project in one of the most strategic areas of digital transformation, working on innovative concepts and cutting-edge technologies, with a direct impact on the development of digital infrastructures for industry. If you have an interest in systems architecture and want to contribute to the future of data sharing in industrial sectors, this is an excellent opportunity for you.
