This is how computer workshops will speed up Sweden's digitalisation

Computer workshops are, simply put, platforms that help data labs or individual data users with support in various forms. It can, for example, be about being a support function for data sharing, helping with licenses, legal issues or something completely different. The result of the workshop's work can, among other things, be APIs, language tools or cloud services that data labs or data users can use.

In the latest the call for proposal, the following workshops were granted money from Vinnova:

• Computer readiness workshop (Coordinator: Lindholmen Science Park AB, AI Sweden)
• Basic platform for data processing and analysis (Coordinator: Statistics Sweden, Statistics Sweden)
• Agrifood Data Workshop - Computer workshop for agriculture and food (Coordinator: RISE Research Institutes of Sweden)
• Computer Law Innovation (Coordinator: Lindholmen Science Park AB, AI Sweden)
• Data workshop for regional and municipal open data (Coordinator: Västra Götalandsregionen)

At the same time, the following data lab also received money:

• Ocean Data Factory Sweden (Coordinator: University of Gothenburg Department of Marine Sciences)
• Nationellt Prehospitalt Datalabb (Coordinator: University of Borås, PreHospen Centrum for Prehospital Forskning)
• National Space Data Lab 2.0 (Coordinator: Lindholmen Science Park AB)
• National code data lab for sustainability and innovation in the food chain (Coordinator: Grow Sweden oak for)
• National Forest Data Lab - AI, climate and forest damage (Coordinator: Swedish Forest Agency)
• Nationellt Logistikdatalabb (Coordinator: Lindholmen Science Park AB)

See details for all project at the bottom of the announcement page for computer workshops and data lab.

In the coming time, a person will follow what is happening in the workshops and lab, and present the results on this microblog. The companion in question is called Anders Frick and has also previously followed the development of some data labs. Anyone who is curious about how it went can take advantage of the posts on Vinnova's blog portal, where the e-book " Datalabb - for a smarter Sweden" can also be downloaded.

The purpose of the follow-up monitoring is to create visibility and learning that is useful already during the project period, and which in the long run speeds up Sweden's digitalisation.

If you have questions, tips or thoughts, you are welcome to contact the follow-up person Anders Frick directly, via e-mail to andersfrick@gmail.com or with Vinnova's contact person Erik Borälv, erik.boralv@vinnova.se
