Collaboration

Technology partners have the opportunity to participate in the ECDA ecosystem of students, academics and partners by making their technologies, datasets, algorithms and/or expertise available for use or validation in education, research and events organized by ECDA. In principle, we use an in-kind model, in which ECDA has a facilitating role and introduces the technology partner to researchers and in relevant EUR education programs. If the use of the technology is scaled up, the continuation of the collaboration can also be carried out in a different way.
