The pilot project aims to contribute to enhance the EU’s autonomy in the media domain, respond to current technological challenges and opportunities allowing to provide citizens and media professionals with a broader range of informative content. For this purpose, this project shall provide solutions allowing citizens to search informative content provided by public and/or private TV stations and online news and information/content platforms in Member States and provide translated subtitles of news and documentaries in multiple European languages.
The project will seek to establish a platform, as well as a technology and content alliance among interested actors in Member States for facilitating access to rich and varied informative online content from TV stations and online news and information platforms across Member States, preparing also to harness the potential of new technologies including upcoming augmented reality content and media formats.
The platform should make use of available resources to provide better access for content aggregation, discovery and search with a recommendation system functioning in line with democratic values, a translation system, and facilitating Video on Demand streaming, thereby providing a pluralistic view of content.
