Warmest

oW Altitude Remote sensing for the Monitoring of the state of Cultural hEritage Sites: building aninTegrated model for maintenance.
WARMEST strategic goal is to create a novel comprehensive Decision Support System that will carry out a Cultural Heritage Risk Analsys (CHRA) and suggest improvements in maintenance and disaster management procedures for cultural and natural heritage sites. The maintenance and disaster management plans developed with the support of the Decision Support System, will consider current and future scenarios, setting priorities for the actions to be taken, both on economic and art historical grounds, delivering required information where and when needed, in a user-friendly way. To this end the consortium will develop new technologies to collect data on the conservation status of the sites and new tools to analyse it, as there is presently a lack of data that is specifically relevant to understanding climate change impacts; these technologies in case of emergence, can help to assess the impact of events quickly and on large areas. WARMEST is challenging from a management and from an engineering point of view, given that regulations are strict (to preserve the natural, archaeological and historical values), the factors to take into consideration are complex and not homogenous (technical, economic, historical), the information to deliver differentiated according to users and concise or detailed when needed. The goals set by WARMEST can be met only by creating an heterogeneus consortium, involving knowledgeable experts from various fields from private and public institutions. 9 beneficiaries will participate to the WARMEST consortium; 3 academic institutions, 2 association involved in heritage management and 4 private companies. 4 end users will be commited to the project as external partners to obtain the right mixing of knowledge.

nIoVe

A novel Adaptive Cybersecurity Framework for the Internet-of-Vehicles
nIoVe aims to deploy a novel multi-layered interoperable cybersecurity solution for the Internet-of-Vehicles (IoV), with emphasis of the Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) ecosystem by employing an advanced cybersecurity system enabling all relevant stakeholders and incident response teams to share cyber threat intelligence, synchronize and coordinate their cybersecurity strategies, response and recovery activities. To do so the project develops a set of in-vehicle and V2X data collectors that will feed nIoVe’s machine learning platform and tools for threat analysis and situational awareness across the IoV ecosystem. Advanced visual and data analytics are further enhanced and adapted to boost cyberthreat detection performance under complex attack scenarios, while IoV stakeholders are jointly engaged in incident response activities through trusted mechanisms. The proposed approach is supported by interoperable data exchange between existing and newly proposed cybersecurity tools. nIoVe solution will be demonstrated and validated in 3 pilots: Hybrid execution environment, simulated environment and real-world conditions.
 
Overall, nIoVe ambitiously expects to (i) reduce the attack surface of the overall IoV ecosystem, (ii) showcase effective and real-time detection of novel advanced threats and cyber-attacks in IoV ecosystems; (iii) reduce substantially the response time and reduce drastically the impact of breaches; (iv) contribute to the establishment and sustainable operation of Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs) stimulating information and knowledge sharing across the IoV ecosystem; and (v) paves the way for the next generation robust, scalable and resilient IoV infrastructure. nIoVe draws and builds upon the accumulated experience from its consortium consisted of 13 partners from 6 European countries and Israel, will implement the project, which is organized in 8 workpackages and will be completed within 36 months.

VIRTUOUS

Virtual tongue to predIct the oRganoleptic profile of mediterranean IngredienTs and their effect on hUman hOmeostasis by means of an integrated compUtational multiphysicS platform
VIRTUOUS is a virtual tongue made by an integrated computational framework able to screen food for natural ligands targeting taste receptors. The proposed intelligent algorithm, by integrating drug discovery techniques, machine learning classifiers, algorithms for big data, cloud computing, and experimental data will predict the organoleptic profile of a specific food based on its chemical composition. The outcomes of this research will shed light on the mechanisms driving the information transfer from the chemistry level, where food molecular constituents bind taste receptors, toward a cascade of molecular, supramolecular and cellular events emerging as an elaborated sensation which strongly contribute to the food organoleptic profile.
 
The joint exchange programme involves 9 participants from 4 countries: Italy, Greece, Spain, Switzerland. Participants are both from academic (4 beneficiaries) and non-academic (5 beneficiaries) sectors. The balance between academy and industry and the interdisciplinary nature of the Consortium will grant a unique stimulating environment for researchers involved in the projects.  Relevance of the program is identified at European and worldwide level, both for academia and industry. The idea of conceiving a taste predictor to be applied on European food products will boost and widen European food market at global level. 
 
The VIRTUOUS tongue may be also thought has an “food computer aided design tool” for EU food technology. For example, based on taste prediction the VIRTUOUS platform may be used in the future to predict the results of a specific grape graft. The Virtuous tongue may be also combined with other technologies to enhance precision agriculture. The VIRTUOUS research also links taste receptors’ activation to the activity of nuclear receptors following the paradigm of the Mediterranean Diet: “good and healthy”. Finally, the project is related to neuroscience, by considering molecular mechanisms of brain elaboration in taste.

RRREMAKER

Reuse Reduce Recycle AI-based platform for automated and scalable Maker culture in Circular economy
The objective of RRREMAKER is to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) based maker platform for the design and production of handcrafted, rapid prototyped and reconditioned products, based on the availability of used goods and recyclable waste collected, getting inputs from, and connecting together, digital manufacturers and traditional crafts, designers/creative companies and green companies, establishing a new hybrid managing model based on the communities of knowledge, ecodesign and democratization invention, integrating orange, sharing and circular economy.

As a disruptive approach, besides being a framework in which the different fields involved can share information, the proposed intelligent computational platform itself will be a main actor in the creative process, by integrating cutting-edge algorithms of generative design, as genetic and superquadric-based algorithms, machine learning classifiers, algorithms for big data, cloud computing, and experimental data will predict structures, forms, materials, colours, ornaments, etc, based on traditional artisan and innovative design parameters, and recycling materials. The platform will also be a “sorting point” to share information between recyclable material collectors and ecodesigners/green manufacturers, connecting them to each other. Also, based on the sales information archived, the platform will be able to generate maps of features of the goods already on the market and automatically propose to the manufacturers changes to make them innovative and more appealing.

During the past decade, the European cybersecurity landscape has evolved on the fragmented grounds of differing national priorities, and was lacking major projects possessing a technological and economical “lighthouse effect” for a long time. With the Horizon 2020 (H2020) programme, the EU has created opportunities for such strategic projects. One of the major interests of the European Union is to secure its digital economy, infrastructures, society and democracy.
 
CONCORDIA is one of four H2020 pilot projects that have been launched in order to support this aim. More specifically, CONCORDIA is a four-year, multi-disciplinary research and innovation project, launched in January 2019. 
 
CONCORDIA has the following objectives:
  1. Position the CONCORDIA ecosystem, a Cybersecurity Competence Network with leading research, technology, industrial and public competences to build the European Secure, Resilient and Trusted Ecosystem, with the CODE research center as coordinator and hub, and ENISA as secretary.
  2. Using an open, agile and adaptive governance model and processes.
  3. Devise a cybersecurity roadmap to identify powerful research paradigms, to do hands-on experimental validation, prototype and solution development in an agile way to quickly identify successful but also unsuccessful potential product development.
  4. Develop next-generation cybersecurity solutions by taking a holistic end-to-end data-driven approach from data acquisition, data transport and data usage, and addressing device-centric, network-centric, software- and system-centric, data- and application-centric and user-centric security.
  5. Scale up existing research and innovation with CONCORDIA’s virtual lab and services.
  6. Identify marketable solutions and grow pioneering techniques towards fully developing their transformative potential.
  7. Develop sector-specific (vertical) and cross-sector (horizontal) industrial pilots with building incubators.
  8. Launch Open Calls to allow entrepreneurs and individuals to stress their solutions with the development.
  9. Set up an Advisory Board, comprised by leaders of industry, standardization, policy and politics to give strategic advice and also to connect with possible clients and users of the developed solutions, other projects and research initiatives, as well as important standardization and certification institutions.
  10. Mediate between multiple communities: Different communities have different priorities and perspectives.
  11. Establish an European Education Ecosystem for Cybersecurity. CONCORDIA, therefore, extends traditional training courses with new virtual courses (MOOCs and SPOCs) and a variety of outreach activities, including high-school curricula development, competitions, cyber ranges.
  12. Provide expertise to European policy makers and industry.
