(Note that applications can be submitted via the OpenWebSearch website and not through the NLnet application form.) Call # 2 invites researchers and innovators to submit ideas for innovative ideas on how the data provided by the Open Web Index can be used and exploited in innovative use cases or research scenarios. "We are looking for innovative ideas on how to leverage the Open Web Index and its data", explains Dr Stefan Voigt, who is a member of the OpenWebSearch.EU project management team, scientist at the German Aerospace Center DLR and Chairman of the board of the Open Search Foundation. We also welcome topics such as geo-location-based search or new approaches to transparent and privacy-friendly search, just to name a few examples.” Call # 3 invites computing and data centres to join the OpenWebSearch.eu network of compute infrastructure providers and host parts of the Open Web Search and Analysis Infrastructure (OWSAI). Called are universities, public compute infrastructure providers, data centres, companies (e.g., cloud providers) or research teams with a well-established data infrastructure. Project LAW4OSAI (License-Aware Web Crawling for Open Search AI) aims to enable license-aware crawling of web content by automatically identifying and retrieving content licenses. The project receives funding of 8.5 million Euros from the European Union’s Horizon research and innovation programme under grant agreement no.
