Description

+++ English version below +++ Der Wettbewerb „Forschungsplattform zur Untersuchung von Desinformation in der virtuellen Realität“ (FoUnD-VR) hat die Erstellung einer Plattform (bspw. XR-Testumgebung) zur Erforschung von Desinformation in virtuellen Umgebungen zum Ziel. Als virtuelle Umgebungen werden neue, über Extended Reality (VR, AR, XR) begehbare digitale Räume verstanden (Metaverse, Omniverse, Citiverse), in denen Individuen mit anderen Menschen, Organisationen oder Institutionen in Interaktion treten. Durch die der Technologie innewohnenden audiovisuellen und haptischen Interaktionsmöglichkeiten entstehen einzigartige Formen der Desinformation, zu denen es aufgrund der Neuartigkeit dieser virtuellen Räume noch keine Forschung gibt. Die virtuelle Laborumgebung soll daher erstmalig die Erforschung der Verbreitung von Desinformation in neuartigen virtuellen Räumen ermöglichen. Das angestrebte Technology Readiness Level zum Projektende liegt bei 4. Am 03. Februar 2026 von 9:00 - 12 Uhr, führt die Cyberagentur ein virtuelles Informations- und Partnering-Event durch. Ziel der Veranstaltung ist, das Forschungsvorhaben vorzustellen, Expertinnen und Experten aus den Bereichen XR-Technologie und Desinformation mit Blick auf die potenzielle Bildung von Bietergemeinschaften/Konsortien miteinander zu vernetzen sowie über den Ausschreibungsprozess zu informieren. Die Anmeldung ist bis zum 28. Januar 2026 über folgende Website möglich: https://www.cyberagentur.de/programme/forschungsplattform-zur-untersuchung-von-desinformation-in-der-virtuellen-realitaet-found-vr/ +++ English version+++ The competition “Research Platform for Investigating Disinformation in Virtual Reality” (FoUnD-VR) aims to create a platform (e.g., XR test environment) for researching disinformation in virtual environments. Virtual environments are understood to be new digital spaces (metaverse, omniverse, citiverse) that can be accessed via extended reality (VR, AR, XR) and in which individuals interact with other people, organizations, or institutions. The audiovisual and haptic interaction possibilities inherent in the technology give rise to unique forms of disinformation, which have not yet been researched due to the novelty of these virtual spaces. The virtual laboratory environment will therefore enable research into the spread of disinformation in novel virtual spaces for the first time. The target technology readiness level at the end of the project is 4. On February 3, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., the Cyberagentur will hold a virtual information and partnering event. The aim of the event is to present the research program, to network experts from the fields of XR technology and disinformation with a view to the potential formation of bidding groups/consortia, and to provide information about the tendering process. Registration is possible until January 28, 2026, via the following website: https://www.cyberagentur.de/en/programs/forschungsplattform-zur-untersuchung-von-desinformation-in-der-virtuellen-realitaet-found-vr/

Based on 456 awards with a named winner over the last 3 years. Counted by award, not by value, because lot and framework amounts are not comparable. Concentrated means the three most frequent winners took 65% or more of the awards; many suppliers, under 35% with at least ten different winners.

As the official award notices state them, over the last 3 years. Tenders per lot count open and restricted procedures only: in a negotiated procedure or a direct award a single tender is the procedure itself. The country is the one the notice gives for the winner.
