The 2027 topic should build on results of the 2025 topic.
Projects under the 2027 topic should build on results from the 2022 topic.
User Input: Projects under HORIZON-CL4-2027-04-DATA-09 should seek synergies with projects under HORIZON-CL5-2027-05-D4-06. \r\n User Input: build synergies and leverage outcomes wit this one
Projects under the 2027 topic should make use of the knowledge provided by the project funded under the 2023 topic (NexusForum).

Topic HORIZON-CL4-2023-DATA-01-06 was focused on "computing continuum addressing the area from a broad perspective from edge device to edge cloud to cloud to HPC, from scientific to industrial to societal and research applications, and addressing all relevant aspects such as real-time, security, etc. Developments should complement the Industrial Roadmap from the European Alliance for Industrial Data, Edge and Cloud by offering a long-term research perspective which enables disruptive innovations." It was also linked with HPC.
It was mentioned by the EC during the NCP Training that the project NexusForum.EU is relevant to this call. This project was financed under HORIZON-CL4-2023-DATA-01-06.
Expected Outcome:
Pilots for new technologies including demonstration sites which contribute to energy-efficient and sustainable AI data processing in data centres, reinforcing EU strategic autonomy and climate goals. Project results are expected to contribute to one or more of the following outcomes:
Outcomes should demonstrate potential for improved power usage effectiveness and utilisation of waste heat in external applications, aligned with European targets for carbon-neutral heating/cooling.
Scope:
Actions should address one or more of the following development areas:
In addition, actions should establish open pilot demonstration sites to test and integrate research results, and to demonstrate, benchmark, and disseminate findings among relevant industrial stakeholders, including the European data centre and colocation industry, cloud providers, and edge computing operators. These pilot sites should furthermore serve as European reference points for showcasing breakthroughs and cutting-edge technologies for energy-efficient and sustainable data centres developed under this topic, acting as models for technology uptake across the European data centre industry.
Projects funded under this topic are encouraged to build synergies and leverage their results with funded projects from Cluster 5 HORIZON-CL5-2027-05-D4-06: Thermal energy optimisation and waste heat recovery of high energy demand IT rooms in buildings or small edge data centres.
Technology Readiness Level - Technology readiness level expected from completed projects
Activities are expected to start at TRL 6-7 and achieve TRL 8 by the end of the project – see General Annex B.

Data Week is the spring gathering of the Data and AI research and innovation community. In Data Week, the participants share knowledge and results, discuss topics of common interest, find synergies, build new collaborations and identify new challenges and recommendations. Data Week also links the communities and their results to the European policies and market needs and brings European initiatives and activities closer to local communities.
The AI, Data and Robotics Forum (ADRF) is the annual flagship event of the AI, Data and Robotics Association (Adra).
The European Big Data Value Forum (EBDVF) brings together industry professionals, business developers, researchers and policy-makers from all over Europe and other regions of the world to advance policy actions and industrial and research activities in the areas of Data and AI.
Data Week 2026 will be a 2-day physical event taking place in Oslo, Norway between 5-6 May. The event will be organised by the Big Data Value Association in collaboration with the following BDVA members: IFE (Institute for Energy technology), NTNU (Norwegian University of Science and Technology), SINTEF and Western Norway Research Institute.
The next edition of ADRA's Future Ready event is here : Harnessing AI, Data, and Robotics for Next-Generation Innovation.
The Data Spaces Symposium brings together pioneering thinkers, innovators, and organizations shaping a connected, data-driven future.
Under the motto “Accelerating adoption. Increasing impact.”, the 2026 edition will highlight how data spaces enable collaboration and competitiveness — how they unfold impact on a global scale.
