ASPECT aims to setup and demonstrate a seamless climate information (SCI) system with a time horizon up to 30yr and accompanied with underlying research and using climate information for sectoral applications ( middle-ground level 1). The project's goal is to improve existing climate prediction systems and to merge their outputs across timescales together with climate...

Compound events (CEs) can pose significant threats to societies, economies and ecosystems around the world, especially when amplified by anthropogenic climate change (ACC). There is therefore a strong need for skilled, reliable and actionable predictions of how CEs are expected to change in the next decades to help governments and stakeholders implement robust adaptation...

The high-performance demands of the functionalities required in complex critical systems is rapidly increasing. In the space domain, on-board processing algorithms for navigation and control systems are needed to increase  spacecraft autonomy; in the automotive and railway domains, advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS) and obstacle detection and avoidancesystems...

A growing number of applications rely on AI-based solutions to carry-out mission-critical tasks, many of which are of temporal nature, dealing with ever-evolving flows of information. Crucial for mitigating threats and taking advantage of opportunities in such domains, is the ability to forecast imminent situations and critical complex events ahead of time. EVENFLOW will...

Deep Learning (DL) techniques are key for most future advanced software functions in Critical Autonomous AI-based Systems (CAIS) in cars, trains and satellites. Hence, those CAIS industries depend on their ability to design, implement, qualify, and certify DL-basedsoftware products under bounded effort/cost.There is a fundamental gap between Functional Safety (FUSA)...

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of mortality worldwide, accounting for about a third of annual deaths. Refusing structured and unstructured data has the potential for significant health benefits for the population suffering from CVD. Healthcare data reuse in Europe faces privacy and fragmentation issues, high data formats and language diversity, and a...

Despite clear signs that the impacts of climate change are escalating, the global response has been inadequate. Traditional scientific efforts have fallen short of providing knowledge and tools that have been broadly applied in decision-making, and innovative approaches to knowledge translation are needed.

To catalyse climate action in Europe to protect public health,...

The project proposes a solution for making on-demand configurable digital twin engines for forecasting of environmental extremes at the sub-km scale. We name the solution Destination Earth On-Demand Extremes (DEODE). The core of our solution is to provide an on-demand workflow with co-design of high resolution predictions about extreme weather events combined with decision...

In the last report of its first working group, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concluded that there is still much unknown about regional climate change. Even over a number of very large regions, seventy years of warming does not seem enough to assess if three has been a change in hydrological extremes (floods and droughts). Given that the global climate...

Einstein Telescope (ET) will be the European Third-Generation (3G) Gravitational Wave (GW) Observatory, designed to observe the universe by covering the whole spectrum observable from Earth with interferometric GW detectors. ET will put Europe at the forefront of GW research, being the first and most advanced 3G GW observatory.

Europe will take the...
