Welcome to our comprehensive data catalogue for experiment support, curated throughout the entirety of our 3-year MediaFutures project, until August 2023. This is the release of the final version of the data catalogue that complements with specific tools, methods and datasets the Data Innovation Toolkit. MediaFutures, an EU-funded project, is dedicated to supporting innovative entrepreneurial and artistic projects that aim to reshape the media value chain.

Within this catalogue, you will find a thoughtfully curated collection of datasets, tools, and self-training resources that are assets for the MediaFutures ecosystem. Whether you are an entrepreneur or an artist, these resources are thought to enrich your creative projects.

Datasets

A catalogue of third-party datasets that may be of interest to the applicants. There is a selection of datasets focused on COVID-19 for the 1st open call.

Tools

A selection of open source tools and technologies suggested by Mediafutures mentors for startups and artists to obtain, process and visualize data within their projects.

Self-training

A collection of self-training resources on different aspects of dealing with data from data ethics and responsible innovation to art-science collaboration.

Assets applied within the MediaFutures projects
