Distributed Knowledge Graphs is a COST Action, i.e., a research and innovation network to connect research initiatives around Europe. A COST Action supports activities such as short-term scientific missions, workshops, and training schools. Our specific Action is centred around the topic of Distributed Knowledge Graphs, i.e., Knowledge Graphs that are published in a decentralised fashion, thus forming a distributed system. Our Action started on 23 September 2020 and lasts for four years.

 Outputs

Participation in COST Actions has led to significant results and follow-up in terms of the number of proposals submitted for collaborative research in Framework Programmes, with a success rate which more than triple the average success rates for these programmes (37% success rate). By funding networking, COST acts as a pre-portal for further research and innovation funding such as Horizon Europe, the European Union’s Framework Programme for Research and Innovation
