The new Open Data Platform is now available on the RAISE website – a digital space designed to make research data more accessible, understandable, and usable. With this release, RAISE takes a concrete step toward a model in which data drives innovation, collaboration, and shared growth.
The platform brings together a broad and diverse body of information in a single access point. More than 300 resources—primarily datasets—showcase the project’s activities across multiple application domains: from marine wave monitoring to biomedical data such as ECGs, from urban mobility information to environmental measurements collected by weather stations, as well as experimental results from a variety of research contexts. This diversity provides a cross-cutting and integrated view of the expertise and technologies developed within the RAISE ecosystem.
At the core of the initiative is a clear choice: to recognize data as a strategic asset and promote its open and responsible management. Each resource is accompanied by accurate, standardized metadata describing its origin, characteristics, and potential uses. This framework ensures alignment with FAIR principles and facilitates both access and reuse, even for non-specialist users.
The platform experience is built around features that simplify content exploration and discovery. Search and filtering tools enable users to quickly navigate the available resources, while an intuitive interface provides immediate access to information. In addition, dedicated collaborative environments for the project’s spokes foster exchange among researchers, institutions, and stakeholders, supporting the development of new synergies.
The Open Data Platform is part of a broader ecosystem of services that defines the RAISE approach. Integration and complementarity guide the development of tools for technology transfer, training, and community engagement. In this context, Virtual Research Environments offer further opportunities by providing spaces to analyze data, develop applications, and experiment with new solutions.
The technological infrastructure is based on D4Science by the National Research Council, an internationally established ecosystem that supports thousands of users through collaborative research environments. This enhances the platform’s reliability and scalability, while ensuring continuity and openness to future developments.
With the launch of the Open Data Platform on the RAISE website, the ecosystem is enriched with a tool that facilitates connections between data, expertise, and opportunities. The availability of these resources enables new forms of collaboration and contributes to generating long-term value for research, innovation, and society.
