This database compiles the collection of research topics identified throughout various Strategic Research and Innovation Agendas published by Industry Associations relevant to the IoT ecosystem between 2020 and 2023. The present data along with the authors' classification was used to produce the STRATEGIC TOPICS AND THEMES RELATED TO THE NGIOT section within Deliverable 2.6 NGIoT Roadmap and Policy Recommendations of CSA Project: EU-IoT - The European IoT HUb - Growing a sustainable and comprehensive ecosystem for Next Generation Internet of Things. In performing the meta-analysis the following actions were taken to realise the comparison and data collection across the SRIAs and roadmaps: Within the scope of the identified target communities for the EU-IoT project and NGIoT Initiative7, the latest publications, roadmaps and SRIAs were revised and reviewed. Selected SRIAs to be included met the following criteria: Relevance to the scope of the NGIoT and latterly the Cloud Edge IoT Continuum. o Levelofdetailandstructuredrepresentation. Specificity and action ability of thetopic sprovided. From the selected agendas, individual topics were abstracted and categorised under the following fields to provide a comparable analysis and assessment: Type Priority area: considered to be topics of strategic importance, encompassing multiple technologies and applications. E.g., Constraint- based planning and decision making in complex natural environments. Application: specific implementations of technologies either within a given context or addressing a defined goal. E.g., Data streaming in constraint environments. Technology: a variety of different technical, electronic, or physical systems, assets, devices or algorithms. E.g., Self-configuring and adaptive sensor nodes. Theme: definition of the common priority theme taking a bottom-up approach and aligned with the NGIoT technologies. Position within the EU-IoT framework as described in the previous section: Layer: Tech, Market, Policy & Standards, Skills, All. Context: Human Interface, Far Edge, Near Edge, Infrastructure, Data Spaces, All. Finally, the analysis identified the key trends and themes across the contributing communities and NGIoT framework. In total 645 topics were abstracted, categorised and analysed across two cycles. The resulting database is provided as a public output for further analysis and reuse by the community and construction of future trend mapping. Within this paper, the latest versions of identified agendas were included in the analysis totalling 590 topics.
