As there are funding calls for collaboration activities, I wanted to find out if we see a chance to join forces and to build consortia from the openHAB community to apply for common projects on national, but also on international levelā¦
Cleary, also industrial/commercial researchers are welcome to report back as a good consortium sometimes needs a balanced share of both.
we created a āAcademic Initiativeā at the openHAB Foundation to enable academic collaboration and knowledge sharing around openHAB. This initiative is mainly driven by the HfT Stuttgart and @mguedey is the person to talk to about it - so Iād suggest you liaise with her!
Regards
Kai
P.S.: The plan is also to have a public section on our webpage about these efforts, but this is still to be doneā¦
thanks for the information. I would be primarily interested in forming a consortium for applying for public funding. This could be on national level (say, DFG, BMBF or BMWI ministries) or on international level (say Horizon 2020).
Mainly, this would be a question if who is willing to join activities like this, as most funding options need industry to be involved or even in the lead. These companies need to have business cases that could take advantage from such collaboration projects.
Currently, finding a suitable call should be comparatively easy.
as Kai mentioned we are creating an Academic section at the Foundation. One of the purposes is exactly as you suggested to gather people, facilities and material related to and interested in research topics around openHAB.
