Dear CyclOps Community,

Welcome to the seventh edition of our newsletter!
Here’s the latest from the CyclOps project as we move through 2026.

Join the CyclOps Stakeholder Community

CyclOps is identifying organisations interested in the CyclOps platform. By registering as a stakeholder, organisations may receive early access to training opportunities and invitations to workshops where they can provide feedback on the platform.

New scientific publications

Our partners continue to advance research in Data Spaces and AI applications. Recent publications include:

Data Space Cluster Shaping Europe’s Connected Future

In Stavanger, during the AI, Data and Robotics Forum 2025, CyclOps joined forces with its sister projects — DS2, NOUS, PLIADES and CEDAR EU — in a dynamic Pecha Kucha-style workshop exploring how Data Spaces, AI and robotics can jointly transform society and industry.

The workshop outcomes have been consolidated in the joint strategic report:

Breaking Boundaries for Europe: Driving Innovation Through Data Spaces, AI-Enhanced Value Networks, and Emerging Robotics Applications


CyclOps Plenary Meeting No. 5 – Bolzano šŸ‡®šŸ‡¹

On 14–15 January, the CyclOps consortium gathered in Bolzano for its fifth plenary meeting. The two-day session focused on strategic alignment as the project moves toward its next integration and validation phase.

The main objectives of the meeting were to:

  • Share the final landscape and highlights from Use Case (UC) validation

  • Resolve any remaining ambiguities regarding requirements, specifications, and the final expected features of the CyclOps platform

  • Hold dedicated concept-oriented workshops around key aspects of the project

  • Advance exploitation planning and Dissemination & Communication strategy through interactive workshops

  • Share and analyse technical and UC roadmaps until the final releases and validation

  • Align UC plans with technical and integration roadmaps to ensure feasible and timely validation

The meeting reinforced cross-partner alignment and ensured a shared vision for the upcoming integration and validation cycles.

CyclOps Winter School

The CyclOps Winter School was a great success!
12–14 January 2026 | Bozen/Bolzano, Italy

Highlights:

  • Expert lectures & hands-on sessions

  • Networking across Europe in the Alps

  • Insights on Knowledge-based Systems & Data Spaces


Stay tuned for the Summer School announcement!

CyclOps around Europe

Our partners have been actively engaging in major events:

  • BDVA & Data Spaces Support Centre Workshop – CyclOps contributed to the workshop by presenting the project and two of its current results, both highly relevant for the Data Spaces community:

    • Enabling seamless use of Data Spaces via automated semantic integration

    • Practical creation and use of Data Spaces in real pilots

  • Sister Projects Roundtable (part of the Nous & Beyond "Across Europe’s Data Spaces” workshop) – CyclOps presentation and discussions on synergies and collaboration with NOUS, CEDAR EU, DS2, PLIADES

  • European Big Data Value Forum 2025 (Copenhagen) – CyclOps mentioned in sessions on data ecosystems, interoperability, trustworthy AI and Empowering Europe’s Future.

  • Data Spaces Symposium 2026 – Session: “From Challenge to Solution: European Cooperation Driving an Interoperable Common Tourism Data Space”

  • embrAIsme & itag AI Summit – During the sessions, CyclOps’ contributions to AI trustworthiness, structured requirement collection, and Data Space interoperability through its AI tools & models marketplace were showcased.

  • DSAI WebinarCyclOps mentioned during the session “Enabling interoperable, trustworthy and secure management of the full data life cycle across distributed sources”

Celebrating Women in Science

On 11 February – International Day of Women & Girls in Science – we highlighted the incredible women behind #CyclOpsProjectEU, representing leadership, research, engineering, communication, and academia.
