I would like to check if Edgeryders would like to partner to solve some supply chain challenges in the food sector.
The challenge is that there are different ‘tech’ systems that don’t necessarily ‘talk’ to each other as they use their own vocabularies. This causes that food is actually locked in physical places where it is not needed letting other places in EU without food.
Since NGI initiatives have done quite some research in the area of mapping semantic systems, and other related topics, it is recommended to have a NGI partner to support initiatives that are already running.
We would like to apply for several grants, having the NGI Atlantic as a first target for some experimentation, and going for bigger grants as the idea is big.
I would like to have a call with someone in the NGI project to talk about this opportunity for partnership. We will be focusing on covid vocabulary around food.
Concretely I need:
Check if Edgeryders wants to partner on this.
If yes, get general description on the methods already used to integrate them in the proposal.
Give access to our working document.
Agree on budget for the experimentation on NGI Atlantic. Total is 150k for 6 months. Doable with 30k?
(note to @noemi: I need to update you on the call I had with Yannick & CoopCycle yester on a nice process to build something tangible in Brussels out of the food conversation).
The project proposal was submitted and since budget is limited, it went in the direction of ‘matching’ the different vocabularies for ‘meat’ in the covid context.
I can share more information, and also the proposal in private, and see how to move that forward, maybe for the next experiments on NGI Atlantic, or other calls related to the Afro-food sector.
I will start to work at ILVO in august and I personally would like to explore with the Edgeryders team to participate in one of the coming NGI Atlantic calls or NGI calls.
I will share this post with my (very soon) colleagues Panos and Jurgen, just in case you want to start the conversation without me, as I will be taking holidays starting from tomorrow.
If nothing happens, I will get back to you after my summer break.
We have received the feedback from the NGI Atlantic experiment that we submitted and we would like to resubmit in collaboration with Edgeryders as an NGI expert. I am also interested on the sovereign identity call. Let’s explore!
