The consortium partners cover all the six BI challenges defining the research agenda of IT4BI-DC. The above table illustrates the consortium with respect to these challenges. Each partner has strong research activities that correlate to one of the six BI challenges. However, all partners complement one another as they also perform research activities in common subfields of BI, which allows them to collaborate and foster each other. Each challenge is covered by the activities and experience of at least two partners of the consortium. In the challenge Collaboration and Privacy, summarizing the cross-cutting aspects of BI, all five partners bring experience.
