Challenge US!
An initiative to help small and medium sized companies to manage their (big) data problems
The Challenge Us program provides opportunities to companies that would like to gain greater benefit from the data they bring for analysis, to enter the world of Big Data and exploit its potential.
The Challenge Us is designed to build a bridge between industry and academia, offering the free support of the SoBigData++ scientists to:
-design solutions
-produce proof of concepts
The selected companies will be able to benefit from free support of a team of data scientists from the SoBigData++ and will be able to use the methodologies and software tools available on SoBigData++ big-data analysis platform.

Who is selected?
Projects will be selected by the scientific committee of the SoBigData++ who will evaluate the proposals both from the point of view of scientific interest, and feasibility.
How will company data be protected?
The collaborative project will include the signing of a confidentiality agreement (NDA) to protect the information and data that companies will share with researchers. The results obtained in this activity will remain the property of the company.
SoBigData++ is a distributed, Pan-European, multi-disciplinary research infrastructure for big social data analytics, aimed at using social mining and big data to understand the complexity of our contemporary, globally-interconnected society. It concentrates on tasks including:
➔ execution of complex social mining processes
➔ concrete tools to operationalize ethics with value-sensitive design, incorporating values and norms for privacy protection, fairness, transparency and pluralism
➔ collaborations with industries to develop pilot projects and proofs-of-concept and in this way accelerate data-driven innovation.
Currently, SoBigData++ consists of a consortium of 32 European research institutions, and over 6000 virtual access users.
