Motivated by the challenges, risks and opportunities that the use of AI brings to the media, society and politics, AI4Media aspires to become a centre of excellence and to create a wide network of researchers across Europe and beyond, with a focus on delivering the next generation of core AI advances that serve the key sector of the Media. It will ensure that the European...
The HumanE AI Net brings together top European research centers, universities and key industrial champions in a network of centers of excellence that goes beyond a narrow definition of AI and combines world leading AI competence with key players in related areas such as HCI, cognitive science, social sciences and complexity science. Doing so is crucial for developing a truly...
The objective of this research activity is to create a reliable computing node that will create a Cognitive Edge under industry standards. This computing node will be the building block of scalable Internet of Things (from Low Computing to High Computing Edge Nodes). The cognitive skill will be given by an internal and external architecture that allows to forecast its...
The main scope of the project is to empower the potential of EO Systems by creating an innovative commercial information delivery to optimize sustainable vine cultivation via decision support systems (DSS) on phenology, irrigation, fertilizer, disease and business operations management. Satellites imagery will be combined with other data sources such as in-field measurements, models and best...
At the time of writing of this proposal, most European countries have imposed lockdowns to combat the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, which have forced many industries, businesses and transport networks to either close down or drastically reduce their activity. Such economic interruption, which is unprecedented in many ways, is resulting in a sudden drop of atmospheric...
Modeling the heartbeat is a highly complex task that involves several scales and different tightly coupled problems. A large number of spatial orders of magnitude are linked, from the microscopic cell arrangement into a volumetric description, to the macroscopic shape of the cardiac chambers. In the same way, several temporal scales coexist, from...
In this project, we present PluriZymes, enzymes containing multiple (engineered) catalytic actives sites in a single scaffold, as one of the next breakthroughs in enzymatic catalysis. We show clear preliminary evidence of the potential role of PluriZymes in optimizing complex biochemical processes, such as cellulose degradation, or to group cascade reactions into one single...
Digital twins, along with the Internet of Things and Edge computing , are expected to play a decisive role in the nextdecade s industrial markets (Industry 4.0) enabling dramatic improvements in complex systems design and operation.However, this technology has not been yet widely implemented, since it requires the collaboration of experts in multiple fieldsand costly...
The HBP is now poised to start the last of four multi-year work plans, which will take it to the end of its original incarnation asan EU Future and Emerging Technology Flagship. Our plan is that the end of the Flagship will see the start of a new life forthe HBP, as an enduring European scientific research infrastructure, EBRAINS, that is on the European Strategy Forum on...
The impact of digital technologies on industrial processes is widely discussed and often assumed as a "done deal". However, the industrial environment tends to move at its own pace, and the adoption of new digital technologies can represent a massive challenge in contexts dominated by electromechanics components.
