Pollution is one of the most significant environmental problems in modern cities, leading to disturbing odour episodes and low-air quality conditions that can be detrimental to public health. Its impact is increasing given the continuous city growth (79 % of the population worldwide live in urban areas) and the effects of climate change. Nowadays, half the cities in...
Quantum Spain tenemos como objetivo impulsar y financiar una infraestructura competitiva y completa de computación cuántica en España. Nuestro proyecto dotará al presente ecosistema cuántico nacional de las herramientas necesarias para desarrollar un sólido tejido científico y tecnológico...
La IA tiene el potencial de mejorar la salud de las personas, acelerar la investigación clínica y biomédica para responder a preguntas científicas y retos en el sector de sanitario, así como proveer de servicios asistenciales más eficientes y reducir costes de forma sustancial. Sin embargo, no podemos explotar este potencial porque,...
Beyond-COVID (BY-COVID) aims to provide comprehensive open data on SARS-CoV-2, and other infectious diseases across scientific, medical, public health and policy domains. The project will have a strong emphasis on mobilising raw viral sequences, helping to identify and monitor the spread of SARS-CoV-2 variants. It will further accelerate access to and linking of data and...
The sustainability of plastic materials implies attaining a renewable origin and recyclable nature. Unfortunately, both conditions are far from being fulfilled by the current industry. In the polyester sector, PET [poly(ethylene- terephthalate)], one of the most common plastics, has a petrochemical origin. Happily, PEF [poly(ethylene-furandicarboxylate)] is emerging as a...
Climate change is exerting an increasing pressure on land ecosystems in numerous parts of the planet. One of the most dramatic consequences of this enhanced stress are the exceptionally large wildfires that ravaged parts of Australia, the Arctic or California in recent years. While there exists an established research effort on how these fires are affecting land ecosystems,...
RI-URBANS aims to demonstrate how Service Tools (STs) from atmospheric Research Infrastructures (RIs) can be adapted and enhanced to better address the challenges and societal needs concerning air quality (AQ) in European cities and industrial hotspots. RI-URBANS responds to urgent needs to substantially reduce air pollution across EU by providing enhanced AQ observations in...
EU Critical Infrastructures (CIs) are increasingly at risk from cyber-physical attacks and natural hazards. Research and emerging solutions focus on the protection of individual CIs, however, the interrelationships between Cis has become more complex for example in smart cities and managing the impacts of cascading effects and enabling rapid...
La computación de altas prestaciones (High Performance Computing, HPC) es ahora una pieza clave en el futuro de la ciencia, industria y la sociedad. Su aplicación para métodos matemáticos y algoritmos computaciones será esencial para producir aplicaciones robustas, que sean capaces de aprovechar las futuras arquitecturas de alto rendimiento...
The CAMS2_35 invitation to tender describes a highly technical project that requires experience and expertise in several domains: integrated global chemistry and aerosol modelling, physics and chemistry of the atmosphere, air quality modelling, as well as a detailed knowledge on the architecture and functioning of the IFS and of the possible observational datasets used for...
