However, it is severely lacking in digital maturity and capacity, competitiveness and access to disruptive technologies. #DigiAgriFood EDIH aims to empower the digital and green transformation of the entire spectrum of the Agri-Food value chain with immediate benefits for citizens, SMEs and public sector. It specializes in Artificial Intelligence technologies, Advanced Digital Skills, High Performance Computing and Digital Transformation and Interoperability and contributes directly to the missions and objectives of the “Digital Europe 2021-2027” program. It will help bring human-centred AIsolutions and unleash the powers of digital technologies to reach Europe’s common climate and environmental goals as set out in the European Green Deal, including being climate neutral by 2050, as well as strengthen the resilience of Europe’s industry and increase its open strategic autonomy. In total, five one-stop-shops and ten antennas/spots are planned to be fully operational covering the whole EDIH’s geographical area to ensure direct interaction with the target groups. #DigiAgriFood EDIH’s key objective is to exploit its complementary expertise at specific stages in the project cycle to achieve full synergy effect between partners. Consortium members apart from senior experts in their field and professors of the highest rank will also contribute with significant scientific infrastructure. The complementarity of the partners’ skills guarantees the balanced distribution of the workload and the establishment of strong cooperation. The management approach guarantees transparency and commitment to all partners and facilitates the successful execution of the project. #DigiAgriFood EDIH will strengthen and maximize the existing innovation ecosystem in all five Regions (Eastern Macedonia and Thrace, Central Macedonia, Western Macedonia, Epirus and Thessaly) and has already explored collaborations with other EDIHs across the EU to create effective Corridors.</p> </p> </div> <div class="col-lg-4 col-md-12"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 light-shadow green-line"> <div class="card-header bg-dark-green p-15"> <h5 class="mb-0 text-center text-white">Project Details</h5> </div> <div class="card-body"> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between"><span>Type:</span><span class="text-uppercase">national</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-call"><span>Call:</span><span class="text-right">European Digital Innovation Hubs (DIGITAL-2021-EDIH-01)</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-period"><span>Period:</span> <span class="project-dates text-right"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">01/12/2022</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">30/11/2025</span> </span> </p> <p class="d-flex flex-column project-website mb-3"><span class="mb-3">Website:</span><span><a href="https://digiagrifood.gr/" alt="project site" target="_blank">https://digiagrifood.gr/</a></span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-6 col-xl-3 project-wrapper national"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 py-15 pt-0 mb-30 project-card green-border-line" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#modal-5295"> <p class="project-title bg-dark p-15 text-light-green text-uppercase">ARCADIAN</p> <div class="picture-wrapper d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center" style="min-height:270px;"> <div class="project-dates"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">05/12/2022</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">04/06/2025</span> </div> <img class="project-flag" src="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/themes/ibo/public/images/ESPA_2014_2020_METRO_16.jpg" title="project flag" alt="flag"/> <div class="project-picture bg-norepeat bg-center mb-10 mx-auto w-100" style="background:url('https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/ARCADIAN-logo-3.png')"></div> </div> <div class="card-footer border-0 mb-n3"> <p class="project-call mb-1">Agricultural Development Program (RAP)</p> </div> </div>  <div class="modal modal-project" id="modal-5295"> <div class="modal-dialog modal-xl"> <div class="modal-content border-0 rounded-0 ">  <div class="modal-header p-30 border-0 rounded-0 bg-dark "> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-8 pl-0"> <h2 class="project-title py-15 mb-10 text-light-green text-uppercase line-height-normal">ARCADIAN</h2> <p class="project-subtitle text-white mb-3">Automatic installation planning and preparation system of nut trees </p> <p class="project-call text-white mb-1"> </p> </div> </div> <button type="button" class="close text-white m-0 p-0" data-dismiss="modal">×</button> </div>  <div class="modal-body p-30"> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1 row"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-12 text-justify"> <h4 class="section-heading text-dark font-weight-bold">Abstract</h4> <p class="project-abstract mb-1"> <p><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">Abstract</span><br role="presentation" /><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">Tree cultivation is a perennial crop, therefore the changes that will be </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">decided to be made to the orchard after its installation are very difficult </span><span dir="ltr" role="presentation">and above all economically unprofitable.

This demand has led to a transition from traditional to intensive farming systems in order to intensify production. Goats and sheep, being one of the most important livestock species in the industry, significantly contribute to the country’s economic development. As a result of these changes, unknown health problems have emerged or existing ones have worsened, mainly due to mismanagement of intensively reared animals.</p> <p>One such problem is the increased occurrence of lameness, particularly in animals that remain confined throughout the year. Lameness is a decisive factor of distress, often painful, which significantly reduces both the welfare level and milk production of affected animals in case of delayed disease detection. This results in the mandatory slaughter of the animal, with serious direct and indirect economic implications for the enterprise. The delayed diagnosis of lameness is attributed to the currently applied detection methods, which primarily rely on visual observation of the animal’s mobility, a method that almost excludes the early detection of the problem.</p> <p>The objective of this initiative is to establish a new lameness detection system, initially in the Greek livestock context, based on parameters of animal movement and monitoring of their feeding. The aim is to detect lameness at an early stage and avoid the economic consequences of production loss for livestock units.</p> <p>The proposed system structure includes both commercial components and elements that result from original laboratory research.

In recent years, it occupies 45-50% of the total irrigated arable land, demonstrating its competitiveness compared to other irrigated crops. However, there has been an increase in the number of varieties cultivated, leading to negative impacts on the uniformity of the produced product. Often, during harvesting or ginning, different varieties with different characteristics are mixed, making it impossible to standardize the product. This creates significant problems for Greek cotton to become competitive in the markets. When leaving the ginning facility, a bale of cotton often does not contain cotton of the same variety and quality, making it challenging to assign an identity to it and compensate the producer accordingly.</p> <p>Another crucial element is that with the current harvesting and management practices, it is not possible to pay for the final product based on its quality. The proposed system aims to address this problem. The system receives data from cylindrical bale cotton pickers, processes it using specialized algorithms, and assists the user in selecting the appropriate strategy for disposal and standardization of production based on factors such as the harvesting point, variety, moisture, and other characteristics. This makes it possible to sell the harvested product at better prices. It is estimated that such a tool will bring a new dynamic to the significant sector of cotton cultivation in Greece.</p> </p> </div> <div class="col-lg-4 col-md-12"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 light-shadow green-line"> <div class="card-header bg-dark-green p-15"> <h5 class="mb-0 text-center text-white">Project Details</h5> </div> <div class="card-body"> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between"><span>Type:</span><span class="text-uppercase">national</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-call"><span>Call:</span><span class="text-right">Agricultural Development Program (RAP) </span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-period"><span>Period:</span> <span class="project-dates text-right"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">27/03/2023</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">26/03/2025</span> </span> </p> <p class="d-flex flex-column project-website mb-3"><span class="mb-3">Website:</span><span><a href="https://interestproject.gr/" alt="project site" target="_blank">https://interestproject.gr/</a></span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-6 col-xl-3 project-wrapper national"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 py-15 pt-0 mb-30 project-card green-border-line" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#modal-5391"> <p class="project-title bg-dark p-15 text-light-green text-uppercase">COWLAM</p> <div class="picture-wrapper d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center" style="min-height:270px;"> <div class="project-dates"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">27/03/2023</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">26/06/2025</span> </div> <img class="project-flag" src="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/themes/ibo/public/images/ESPA_2014_2020_METRO_16.jpg" title="project flag" alt="flag"/> <div class="project-picture bg-norepeat bg-center mb-10 mx-auto w-100" style="background:url('https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/cowlam-logo.png')"></div> </div> <div class="card-footer border-0 mb-n3"> <p class="project-call mb-1">Agricultural Development Program (RAP) </p> </div> </div>  <div class="modal modal-project" id="modal-5391"> <div class="modal-dialog modal-xl"> <div class="modal-content border-0 rounded-0 ">  <div class="modal-header p-30 border-0 rounded-0 bg-dark "> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-8 pl-0"> <h2 class="project-title py-15 mb-10 text-light-green text-uppercase line-height-normal">COWLAM</h2> <p class="project-subtitle text-white mb-3">Lameness identification system at milk- producing cow units in the Region of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace </p> <p class="project-call text-white mb-1"> </p> </div> </div> <button type="button" class="close text-white m-0 p-0" data-dismiss="modal">×</button> </div>  <div class="modal-body p-30"> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1 row"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-12 text-justify"> <h4 class="section-heading text-dark font-weight-bold">Abstract</h4> <p class="project-abstract mb-1"> <p>In recent decades, animal production in Greece has been growing rapidly due to the increasing demand for animal products.

To achieve this, P2GreeN will develop new circular governance solutions for the transition from fork to farm to halt and eliminate N & P pollution by connecting blue urban with green rural infrastructure, focussing on circular nutrient flows of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). This objective will be achieved through the implementation and exploration of innovative N & P recovery solutions for the utilisation of human sanitary waste from urban settlements and its conversion into safe bio-based fertilisers for agricultural production in three pilot regions (P2GreeN pilot regions) on a north-south trajectory from the Baltic Sea region via the metropolitan area of Hamburg-Hannover to the region of Axarquia in Southern Spain and by multiplying the impact via four follower regions in Hungary, Italy, France and Greece.</span></p> </p> </div> <div class="col-lg-4 col-md-12"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 light-shadow green-line"> <div class="card-header bg-dark-green p-15"> <h5 class="mb-0 text-center text-white">Project Details</h5> </div> <div class="card-body"> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between"><span>Type:</span><span class="text-uppercase">european</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-call"><span>Call:</span><span class="text-right">HORIZON-CL6-2022-ZEROPOLLUTION-01-02</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-period"><span>Period:</span> <span class="project-dates text-right"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">01/12/2023</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">30/11/2026</span> </span> </p> <p class="d-flex flex-column project-website mb-3"><span class="mb-3">Website:</span><span><a href="https://p2green.eu/" alt="project site" target="_blank">https://p2green.eu/</a></span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-6 col-xl-3 project-wrapper european"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 py-15 pt-0 mb-30 project-card green-border-line" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#modal-4607"> <p class="project-title bg-dark p-15 text-light-green text-uppercase">SPADE</p> <div class="picture-wrapper d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center" style="min-height:270px;"> <div class="project-dates"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">01/09/2022</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">31/08/2026</span> </div> <img class="project-flag" src="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/themes/ibo/public/images/horizon_europe.jpg" title="project flag" alt="flag"/> <div class="project-picture bg-norepeat bg-center mb-10 mx-auto w-100" style="background:url('https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/SPADE_logo-new-resol.png')"></div> </div> <div class="card-footer border-0 mb-n3"> <p class="project-call mb-1">HORIZON-CL6-2021-GOVERNANCE-01-21</p> </div> </div>  <div class="modal modal-project" id="modal-4607"> <div class="modal-dialog modal-xl"> <div class="modal-content border-0 rounded-0 ">  <div class="modal-header p-30 border-0 rounded-0 bg-dark "> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-8 pl-0"> <h2 class="project-title py-15 mb-10 text-light-green text-uppercase line-height-normal">SPADE</h2> <p class="project-subtitle text-white mb-3">Multi-purpose physical-cyber agri-forest drones ecosystem for governance and environmental observation </p> <p class="project-call text-white mb-1"> </p> </div> </div> <button type="button" class="close text-white m-0 p-0" data-dismiss="modal">×</button> </div>  <div class="modal-body p-30"> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1 row"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-12 text-justify"> <h4 class="section-heading text-dark font-weight-bold">Abstract</h4> <p class="project-abstract mb-1"> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Τhe strategic objective of SPADE is to develop an Intelligent Ecosystem to address the multiple purposes concept in the light of deploying UAVs to promote sustainable digital services for the benefit of a large scope of various end users in the sectors of agriculture, forestry, and livestock.

This platform is making drone operations better accessible and controllable, as well as providing a service channel for value added services enabled by drones. Second, SPADE is demonstrating three innovative use cases of drones making use of the digital platform. While demonstrating the use cases, the benefits coming from the use of drones are analysed and quantified, on a detailed stakeholder level basis. This will demonstrate the new business opportunities. The demonstrations/pilots will also serve as an analysis platform to investigate the regulatory framework at international and national level.

Traditionally soil is managed uniformly, not taking account of the field variability. This leads to over-application or under-application depending on the specific properties and needs of each part of the field. Following the concept of Precision Agriculture, fields can be managed at sub-field level based on the spatial variability of field properties. However, managing field variability can be puzzling to most farmers and farm managers.</p> <p>The SIMS project fosters to simplify the procedures of precision agriculture making it accessible to farmers and farm managers. Within the framework of SIMS an automated system is developed for mapping and processing of soil parameters. It works as a decision support system, optimizing soil management (soil preparation, cultivation, etc.) and crop management (fertilization, irrigation, etc.). An Android-based smart application is also being developed as a portable version of SIMS platform.

During the implementation of the project, phosphine sensors will be utilized, having a direct impact on the timing of phosphine applications, leading to the reduction of insect resistance in the long run. Similarly, the application of precision fumigation will result in a limited number of phosphine applications, as repeated applications will be avoided due to application failures. Also, the implementation of this project is expected to lead to production of fully disinfested feed, resulting to the reduction of quantitative and qualitative degradation of feed due to entomological infestations. The immediate result will be the upgrading of the hygiene level of the feed and assurance of their quality as well as the improvement of farmed animals’ health (e.g., health problems related to the quality of the feed will be reduced). Additionally, consumer perspective on eco-friendly products is of growing interest, motivating firms to use alternative, “green” disinfestation methods. This survey aims to identify and analyze consumers’ awareness and perceptions on this topic, focusing on the use of alternative post-harvest disinfestation methods. For this survey a questionnaire was developed and answered on a national level in Greece of a sample of 1,000 interviewees. At the same time, the willingness to buy agricultural foods being treated with alternative disinfestation methods mentioned above was assessed. Based on the above, it is clear that the expected results of the project will effectively contribute to the further improvement of the competitiveness of the VIOZOKAT company, through the most effective reduction of entomological problems and the wider perception of the needs of its consumers.</p> </p> </div> <div class="col-lg-4 col-md-12"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 light-shadow green-line"> <div class="card-header bg-dark-green p-15"> <h5 class="mb-0 text-center text-white">Project Details</h5> </div> <div class="card-body"> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between"><span>Type:</span><span class="text-uppercase">national</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-call"><span>Call:</span><span class="text-right">Investment Innovative Program</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-period"><span>Period:</span> <span class="project-dates text-right"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">08/10/2021</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">07/10/2024</span> </span> </p> <p class="d-flex flex-column project-website mb-3"><span class="mb-3">Website:</span><span><a href="https://precisionfeedprotect.gr/" alt="project site" target="_blank">https://precisionfeedprotect.gr/</a></span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-6 col-xl-3 project-wrapper national"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 py-15 pt-0 mb-30 project-card green-border-line" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#modal-4733"> <p class="project-title bg-dark p-15 text-light-green text-uppercase">EcoPPPs</p> <div class="picture-wrapper d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center" style="min-height:270px;"> <div class="project-dates"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">08/10/2021</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">07/10/2024</span> </div> <img class="project-flag" src="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/themes/ibo/public/images/ESPA_2021_2027_anaptuksi_gia_olous.jpg" title="project flag" alt="flag"/> <div class="project-picture bg-norepeat bg-center mb-10 mx-auto w-100" style="background:url('https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/ecopps.png')"></div> </div> <div class="card-footer border-0 mb-n3"> <p class="project-call mb-1">Investment Innovative Program</p> </div> </div>  <div class="modal modal-project" id="modal-4733"> <div class="modal-dialog modal-xl"> <div class="modal-content border-0 rounded-0 ">  <div class="modal-header p-30 border-0 rounded-0 bg-dark "> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-8 pl-0"> <h2 class="project-title py-15 mb-10 text-light-green text-uppercase line-height-normal">EcoPPPs</h2> <p class="project-subtitle text-white mb-3">Development of an Integrated Management and Monitoring System for Plant Protection Equipment </p> <p class="project-call text-white mb-1"> </p> </div> </div> <button type="button" class="close text-white m-0 p-0" data-dismiss="modal">×</button> </div>  <div class="modal-body p-30"> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1 row"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-12 text-justify"> <h4 class="section-heading text-dark font-weight-bold">Abstract</h4> <p class="project-abstract mb-1"> <p>The wide and in many times inconsiderate use of chemical plant protection products has negative consequences for human and the environment and of course poses risks for public health. Many drastic substances that have been widely used in the past in agriculture, are now forbitten, leaving an important gap in the available methods of assessing the aforementioned problem. Considering the above, the need for developing and using innovative assessment method protocols, that are safe for the environment, do not leave toxic residues in the products and do not negatively affect the users and the final product becomes clear and imperative.</p> <p>The proposed project aims at developing new strategies for the proper use of plant protection products though innovative technologies, i.e. the minimization the impact of point and diffused sources of pollution and the maximization of the user and consumer safety, depending on the requested conditions and processes. Apart from the technological and the environmental dimension of the application of the aforementioned methods, their economic dimension will also be evaluated, so that the results produced will trigger the adoption of these methods on a larger scale in our country.</p> <p>More specifically, a series of best practice actions for the management of plant protection products, which are expected to offer a sustainable competitive advantage, will take place. These best practices will be adjusted on the individual conditions for the critical process of plant protection product application, that in turn is determinative for the product quality and safety level, as well as for the environmental footprint. Data and critical parameter collection and analysis will be conducted with the use of various technologies, that will be connected to the support of decision-making in the critical stages of the use and application of plant protection products process.</p> <p>The implementation stages of the proposal will include a) The creation of a portable station for the cleaning of compact tractor sprayer in particularly sensitive areas, such as rural areas located near lakes and rivers, in order to further reduce surface water pollution. b) The organization of training for point and diffuse sources of pollution, as well as for the safety of users, in areas with intense agricultural activity and profile, in order to indicate the “critical” points required by producers to comply with the rules of proper use, taking into account the specifics of each area all stages and various implementation scenarios and c) The evaluation of the economic viability, the efficiency and the acceptance of the proposed techniques at technical, environmental, social and economic level.</p> </p> </div> <div class="col-lg-4 col-md-12"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 light-shadow green-line"> <div class="card-header bg-dark-green p-15"> <h5 class="mb-0 text-center text-white">Project Details</h5> </div> <div class="card-body"> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between"><span>Type:</span><span class="text-uppercase">national</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-call"><span>Call:</span><span class="text-right">Investment Innovative Program</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-period"><span>Period:</span> <span class="project-dates text-right"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">08/10/2021</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">07/10/2024</span> </span> </p> <p class="d-flex flex-column project-website mb-3"><span class="mb-3">Website:</span><span><a href="https://www.ecoppps.site/" alt="project site" target="_blank">https://www.ecoppps.site/</a></span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-infopack mb-1"><span class="mb-2">Infopack:</span><span><a href="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Poster_EcoPPPs.pdf" alt="project infopack" target="_blank"><img class="img-fluid infopack-image" src="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/themes/ibo/public/images/file-icon.svg" alt="infopack-image" />Download</a></span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-6 col-xl-3 project-wrapper european"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 py-15 pt-0 mb-30 project-card green-border-line" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#modal-4687"> <p class="project-title bg-dark p-15 text-light-green text-uppercase">BIORECER</p> <div class="picture-wrapper d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center" style="min-height:270px;"> <div class="project-dates"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">01/09/2022</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">31/08/2025</span> </div> <img class="project-flag" src="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/themes/ibo/public/images/horizon_europe.jpg" title="project flag" alt="flag"/> <div class="project-picture bg-norepeat bg-center mb-10 mx-auto w-100" style="background:url('https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/boirecer-Logo-1.png')"></div> </div> <div class="card-footer border-0 mb-n3"> <p class="project-call mb-1">HORIZON-CL6-2021-ZEROPOLLUTION-01-05</p> </div> </div>  <div class="modal modal-project" id="modal-4687"> <div class="modal-dialog modal-xl"> <div class="modal-content border-0 rounded-0 ">  <div class="modal-header p-30 border-0 rounded-0 bg-dark "> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-8 pl-0"> <h2 class="project-title py-15 mb-10 text-light-green text-uppercase line-height-normal">BIORECER</h2> <p class="project-subtitle text-white mb-3">Biological Resources Certifications Schemes </p> <p class="project-call text-white mb-1"> </p> </div> </div> <button type="button" class="close text-white m-0 p-0" data-dismiss="modal">×</button> </div>  <div class="modal-body p-30"> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1 row"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-12 text-justify"> <h4 class="section-heading text-dark font-weight-bold">Abstract</h4> <p class="project-abstract mb-1"> <p>BIORECER aims to ensure the environmental performance and traceability of the biological feedstock used by the bio-based industries, deploying guidelines to strengthen the current certification schemes. Within this approach, the added value, the use, as well as social acceptance of bioproducts will be increased. To fulfill this goal, BIORECER is structured in three main technological pillars focusing on:<br /> 1)developing a multidimensional assessment framework for an aggregated analysis on the biological feedstocks and their associated supply chains;<br /> 2)creating a BIORECER Innovation ecosystem living-lab with a multi-agent approach, testing the framework in 4 bio-based systems supply chain cases of study, and<br /> 3)using all this knowledge to complement current certification schemes including new criteria for certifying biological resources’ sustainability, origin, and traceability, and ensure applicability at EU and global scale.<br /> The transition to a bio-based economy is expected to deliver substantial environmental and economic benefits. Specifically, BIORECER will assess the impact of current and adapted certification schemes on consumers and bio-based industries stakeholders’ willingness to pay along with industries and consumers’ acceptance of new bio-value chains from biological feedstocks, including residual feedstock and waste. In this context, the project will design and develop a multidimensional framework to analyze and define the assessment of the environmental performance of biological resources and traceability. This approach will be unfolded by the joint creation of two levels of interaction: a physical one through the creation of a BioResources Stakeholders Platform (BRSP) and a “digital” one through a BIORECER ICT tool (BIT) to amplify the “scope” of the project.</p> </p> </div> <div class="col-lg-4 col-md-12"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 light-shadow green-line"> <div class="card-header bg-dark-green p-15"> <h5 class="mb-0 text-center text-white">Project Details</h5> </div> <div class="card-body"> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between"><span>Type:</span><span class="text-uppercase">european</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-call"><span>Call:</span><span class="text-right">HORIZON-CL6-2021-ZEROPOLLUTION-01-05</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-period"><span>Period:</span> <span class="project-dates text-right"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">01/09/2022</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">31/08/2025</span> </span> </p> <p class="d-flex flex-column project-website mb-3"><span class="mb-3">Website:</span><span><a href="" alt="project site" target="_blank"></a></span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-infopack mb-1"><span class="mb-2">Infopack:</span><span><a href="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/BIORECER-Project-Profile.pdf" alt="project infopack" target="_blank"><img class="img-fluid infopack-image" src="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/themes/ibo/public/images/file-icon.svg" alt="infopack-image" />Download</a></span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-6 col-xl-3 project-wrapper european"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 py-15 pt-0 mb-30 project-card green-border-line" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#modal-4686"> <p class="project-title bg-dark p-15 text-light-green text-uppercase">BioRural</p> <div class="picture-wrapper d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center" style="min-height:270px;"> <div class="project-dates"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">01/09/2022</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">31/08/2025</span> </div> <img class="project-flag" src="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/themes/ibo/public/images/horizon_europe.jpg" title="project flag" alt="flag"/> <div class="project-picture bg-norepeat bg-center mb-10 mx-auto w-100" style="background:url('https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/biorural-logo-margin.png')"></div> </div> <div class="card-footer border-0 mb-n3"> <p class="project-call mb-1">HORIZON-CL6-2021-CIRCBIO-01</p> </div> </div>  <div class="modal modal-project" id="modal-4686"> <div class="modal-dialog modal-xl"> <div class="modal-content border-0 rounded-0 ">  <div class="modal-header p-30 border-0 rounded-0 bg-dark "> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-8 pl-0"> <h2 class="project-title py-15 mb-10 text-light-green text-uppercase line-height-normal">BioRural</h2> <p class="project-subtitle text-white mb-3">Accelerating circular bio-based solutions integration in European rural areas </p> <p class="project-call text-white mb-1"> </p> </div> </div> <button type="button" class="close text-white m-0 p-0" data-dismiss="modal">×</button> </div>  <div class="modal-body p-30"> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1 row"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-12 text-justify"> <h4 class="section-heading text-dark font-weight-bold">Abstract</h4> <p class="project-abstract mb-1"> <p>Abstract:<br /> The main objective of BioRural is to create a pan-European Rural Bioeconomy Network under which stakeholders will cooperate to promote currently available small-scale bio-based solutions in rural areas. Such a framework will contribute in bridging the gap between available novel high-end bio-based solutions and the everyday life of rural European citizens by assessing the existing situation of the European rural Bioeconomy, capturing grassroots-level needs and ideas, promoting effective exchange of knowledge and information and investigating the business opportunities for regional development through bio-based solutions integration in rural Europe. This way, BioRural will develop a transition framework towards a sustainable, regenerative, inclusive and just circular Bioeconomy across all Europe at local and regional scale and support innovators to scale-up inclusive and small-scale bio-based solutions in rural areas.<br /> BioRural aims to achieve this through a three-pillar intervention scheme. First, BioRural will provide a framework to increase knowledge for rural stakeholders by addressing information gaps, conducting knowledge exchange workshops, and the development of an BioRural Toolkit that makes research results widely accessible. Second, BioRural will create a wide network of stakeholders in a regional and pan-European level to interconnect actors that can boost circular Bioeconomy growth through the development of a European Rural Bioeconomy Network centred around 4 regional Rural Bioeconomy Platforms and Bioeconomy success stories supported by a series of capacity building actions. Third, BioRural will develop Business model blueprints for each of the 5 main Bioeconomy themes that support the entrepreneurial establishment and maturation of future innovative bio-based solutions for rural areas and also ensure the post-project sustainability of the Bioeconomy Network and the BioRural Toolkit.</p> </p> </div> <div class="col-lg-4 col-md-12"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 light-shadow green-line"> <div class="card-header bg-dark-green p-15"> <h5 class="mb-0 text-center text-white">Project Details</h5> </div> <div class="card-body"> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between"><span>Type:</span><span class="text-uppercase">european</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-call"><span>Call:</span><span class="text-right">HORIZON-CL6-2021-CIRCBIO-01</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-period"><span>Period:</span> <span class="project-dates text-right"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">01/09/2022</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">31/08/2025</span> </span> </p> <p class="d-flex flex-column project-website mb-3"><span class="mb-3">Website:</span><span><a href="" alt="project site" target="_blank"></a></span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-infopack mb-1"><span class="mb-2">Infopack:</span><span><a href="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/BioRural-Poster.pdf" alt="project infopack" target="_blank"><img class="img-fluid infopack-image" src="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/themes/ibo/public/images/file-icon.svg" alt="infopack-image" />Download</a></span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-6 col-xl-3 project-wrapper european"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 py-15 pt-0 mb-30 project-card green-border-line" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#modal-4683"> <p class="project-title bg-dark p-15 text-light-green text-uppercase">RELIEF</p> <div class="picture-wrapper d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center" style="min-height:270px;"> <div class="project-dates"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">01/07/2022</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">30/06/2025</span> </div> <img class="project-flag" src="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/themes/ibo/public/images/erasmus.jpg" title="project flag" alt="flag"/> <div class="project-picture bg-norepeat bg-center mb-10 mx-auto w-100" style="background:url('https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Logo-Relief.jpg')"></div> </div> <div class="card-footer border-0 mb-n3"> <p class="project-call mb-1">ERASMUS-EDU-2021-PI-ALL-INNO</p> </div> </div>  <div class="modal modal-project" id="modal-4683"> <div class="modal-dialog modal-xl"> <div class="modal-content border-0 rounded-0 ">  <div class="modal-header p-30 border-0 rounded-0 bg-dark "> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-8 pl-0"> <h2 class="project-title py-15 mb-10 text-light-green text-uppercase line-height-normal">RELIEF</h2> <p class="project-subtitle text-white mb-3">euRopean bio-Economy aLliancE in Farming </p> <p class="project-call text-white mb-1"> </p> </div> </div> <button type="button" class="close text-white m-0 p-0" data-dismiss="modal">×</button> </div>  <div class="modal-body p-30"> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1 row"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-12 text-justify"> <h4 class="section-heading text-dark font-weight-bold">Abstract</h4> <p class="project-abstract mb-1"> <p>Abstract:<br /> The transition to a sustainable bio-economy needs professionals with multidisciplinary, managerial, and cross sectoral expertise and requires higher education and vocational training that integrates dedicated curricula. RELIEF aims to support this by developing and delivering an innovative approach for teaching bio-economy in farming, by developing specific learning resources addressing Higher Education Institutes (HEI) students and farming practitioners with the goal of training and educating a new generation to possess the skills (including technical, economic and regulatory knowledge) which are required by the current and future European sustainable bioeconomy, and to rethink & improve the current Vocational Education & Training (VET) model. HEIs, VETs, farmer consultants, research institutes, and social partners from Italy, Greece, Sweden, Cyprus and Portugal will participate and deliver a high-quality network within the EU to advance bio-economy in the farming agenda.<br /> More specifically, RELIEF will deliver a training needs analysis and develop two curricula on the bio-economy, for HE students, farming practitioners and farmers exploring the key areas that are critical for the implementation of business models and strategies towards bio-economy in farming. Based on this knowledge, RELIEF will design and pilot learning units which will incorporate a mix of training methodologies. An e-learning platform will offer these learning resources in 5 languages for self-training and networking to support the long-term sustainability of farming enterprises.

The adaptation of RES technologies and machinery and their demonstration at a large-scale on farm level, require supporting measures with respect to spatial planning, infrastructure, different business models and market organization, trends that are not all under control from a farmers’ perspective. <strong>RES4LIVE </strong>project will fill these gaps ensuring a wider <strong>adoption </strong>of RES and energy efficiency technologies, machinery and techniques in livestock farms towards zero fossil fuel consumption. A great part of RES4LIVE technical work deals with the <strong>adaptation </strong>of specific technologies for both renewable energy and bio-fuels so that to perfectly fit livestock farming and becoming attractive in terms of cost effectiveness, operational flexibility and with low maintenance. The key technologies include:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Photovoltaic/Thermal</strong> (PVT) systems</li> <li>Modular <strong>heat pumps</strong></li> <li>Biogas upgrading to <strong>biomethane</strong></li> <li><strong>Tractors retrofitting </strong>to be fueled by biomethane.</li> </ul> <p>Except these technologies, standard RES and other solutions are included in the integrated energy system, such as the use of <strong>PV panels</strong>, <strong>geothermal energy</strong>, and <strong>electrification of on-farm machinery</strong>.</p> <p>The RES4LIVE project emphasizes on the demonstration of the selected technologies in <strong>4 pilot farms </strong>in Belgium, Italy, Germany and Greece for at least 12 months, to serve as the means of de-fossilizing evidence and impact generation. The aim is to <strong>totally replace </strong>the fossil fuel consumption of certain needs in the pilot farms, proving that fossil-free energy farming is possible to be achieved in a sustainable way. At the same time, the replicability is another key activity so that to prepare the commercialization process of the solutions.</p> </p> </div> <div class="col-lg-4 col-md-12"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 light-shadow green-line"> <div class="card-header bg-dark-green p-15"> <h5 class="mb-0 text-center text-white">Project Details</h5> </div> <div class="card-body"> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between"><span>Type:</span><span class="text-uppercase">european</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-call"><span>Call:</span><span class="text-right">H2020-FNR-2020-1</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-period"><span>Period:</span> <span class="project-dates text-right"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">01/10/2020</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">30/09/2024</span> </span> </p> <p class="d-flex flex-column project-website mb-3"><span class="mb-3">Website:</span><span><a href="https://res4live.eu/" alt="project site" target="_blank">https://res4live.eu/</a></span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-infopack mb-1"><span class="mb-2">Infopack:</span><span><a href="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/res4live_ibo_poster.pdf" alt="project infopack" target="_blank"><img class="img-fluid infopack-image" src="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/themes/ibo/public/images/file-icon.svg" alt="infopack-image" />Download</a></span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-6 col-xl-3 project-wrapper european"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 py-15 pt-0 mb-30 project-card green-border-line" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#modal-3513"> <p class="project-title bg-dark p-15 text-light-green text-uppercase">FIELDS</p> <div class="picture-wrapper d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center" style="min-height:270px;"> <div class="project-dates"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">01/01/2020</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">31/12/2023</span> </div> <img class="project-flag" src="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/themes/ibo/public/images/erasmus_alliance.jpg" title="project flag" alt="flag"/> <div class="project-picture bg-norepeat bg-center mb-10 mx-auto w-100" style="background:url('https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/fields.png')"></div> </div> <div class="card-footer border-0 mb-n3"> <p class="project-call mb-1">ERASMUS+ KA2 - Sector Skills Alliances</p> </div> </div>  <div class="modal modal-project" id="modal-3513"> <div class="modal-dialog modal-xl"> <div class="modal-content border-0 rounded-0 ">  <div class="modal-header p-30 border-0 rounded-0 bg-dark "> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-8 pl-0"> <h2 class="project-title py-15 mb-10 text-light-green text-uppercase line-height-normal">FIELDS</h2> <p class="project-subtitle text-white mb-3">Addressing the current and Future skIll needs for sustainabilty, digitalization, and the bio-Economy in AgricuLture: European skills agenda and Strategy. </p> <p class="project-call text-white mb-1"> </p> </div> </div> <button type="button" class="close text-white m-0 p-0" data-dismiss="modal">×</button> </div>  <div class="modal-body p-30"> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1 row"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-12 text-justify"> <h4 class="section-heading text-dark font-weight-bold">Abstract</h4> <p class="project-abstract mb-1"> <p>FIELDS is an Erasmus<sup>+</sup> project tackling the future skills needs in the agriculture and forestry sector.

There are new challenges and opportunities for agriculture today, driven by climate change, the greening of products and processes, the reuse of side-stream products, the higher complexity of value chains and the increased availability of information. The use of digital technologies, new business models and innovative strategies to respond to climate change are a selection of issues that can help to address them.</p> <p>The FIELDS approach, starting from the current and future trends and skills needed, will lead to a sustainable European strategy to address skills gaps. Since agriculture issues and opportunities differ a lot from country to country, the EU strategy will be customized to meet the demands for 7 different countries. It will address country-specific actions, occupational profiles and training material to reflect the country needs while keeping EU quality standards (ESCO, EQAVET, ECVET) in order to concretely address the mobility of learners throughout Europe.</p> <p>An Agriculture Sector Skill Alliance (SSA) will be established during the project to build upon the regulatory frameworks and opportunities at EU and country level, while proposing tangible and practical initiatives to address skills challenges, in particular through offering modular training inside the project while guaranteeing mobility of workers within the agriculture, forestry and agrifood industry.</p> </p> </div> <div class="col-lg-4 col-md-12"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 light-shadow green-line"> <div class="card-header bg-dark-green p-15"> <h5 class="mb-0 text-center text-white">Project Details</h5> </div> <div class="card-body"> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between"><span>Type:</span><span class="text-uppercase">european</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-call"><span>Call:</span><span class="text-right">ERASMUS+ KA2 - Sector Skills Alliances</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-period"><span>Period:</span> <span class="project-dates text-right"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">01/01/2020</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">31/12/2023</span> </span> </p> <p class="d-flex flex-column project-website mb-3"><span class="mb-3">Website:</span><span><a href="http://www.erasmus-fields.eu/" alt="project site" target="_blank">http://www.erasmus-fields.eu/</a></span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-6 col-xl-3 project-wrapper national"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 py-15 pt-0 mb-30 project-card green-border-line" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#modal-4430"> <p class="project-title bg-dark p-15 text-light-green text-uppercase">HepaHealthy_Egg</p> <div class="picture-wrapper d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center" style="min-height:270px;"> <div class="project-dates"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">08/10/2021</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">07/10/2023</span> </div> <img class="project-flag" src="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/themes/ibo/public/images/espa_perifereia_makedonias.jpg" title="project flag" alt="flag"/> <div class="project-picture bg-norepeat bg-center mb-10 mx-auto w-100" style="background:url('https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/HepaHeealthyEgg_logo.png')"></div> </div> <div class="card-footer border-0 mb-n3"> <p class="project-call mb-1">Investment Plans for Innovation </p> </div> </div>  <div class="modal modal-project" id="modal-4430"> <div class="modal-dialog modal-xl"> <div class="modal-content border-0 rounded-0 ">  <div class="modal-header p-30 border-0 rounded-0 bg-dark "> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-8 pl-0"> <h2 class="project-title py-15 mb-10 text-light-green text-uppercase line-height-normal">HepaHealthy_Egg</h2> <p class="project-subtitle text-white mb-3">Natural liver health and well-being of chickens using natural thistle extract for the production of high value eggs </p> <p class="project-call text-white mb-1"> </p> </div> </div> <button type="button" class="close text-white m-0 p-0" data-dismiss="modal">×</button> </div>  <div class="modal-body p-30"> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1 row"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-12 text-justify"> <h4 class="section-heading text-dark font-weight-bold">Abstract</h4> <p class="project-abstract mb-1"> <p><strong>HepaHealthy_Egg </strong>project seeks to develop a food supplement that will improve the welfare of chickens and the quality of the eggs produced. Within the region of central Macedonia are located the 31,5 % of the egg-producing facilities of Greece. One of the most significant challenges of egg-producing facilities operators is to safeguard the health of their livestock and secure the quality of their products. A common cause of death among egg-producing chickens is the Fatty Liver Hemorrhagic Syndrome (FLHS), as a result of large amounts of fat deposition within the liver. Moreover, various egg ingredients are found to come from the liver.</p> <p>The aim of the project is to deliver a food supplement based on the botanical extract of flora flourishing in Greece that will encounter FLHS and improve the overall health and productivity of egg-producing chickens. More specifically, thistle is a native plant of the Mediterranean and is known for its medicinal purposes since ancestry. Remarkably, thistle’s active ingredient, silymarin, has hepatoprotective properties and are administered to humans for treatment of insulin resistance syndrome. In extent, pilot-research will be conducted, by supplying food supplement based on the extract of thistle to chicken livestock and the outcome will be evaluated via internal organ examination.</p> <p>Furthermore, <strong>HepaHealthy_Egg </strong>aims in the production of branded high-added value products that will eventually contribute to the sustainable development of egg production in the region of Central Macedonia.

Diabetic foot ulcer is not only a patient problem but also a major health care concern throughout the world. Diabetic foot ulcer is one of the common and serious complications in diabetic patients. Treatment of infection in diabetic ulcer is difficult and expensive. Patients usually need to take long-term medications or become hospitalized for an extended period of time. It is estimated that usually 15-25% of diabetic patients develop Diabetic foot ulcer during their life-time. On the other hand, more than 70% of patients who have developed Diabetic foot ulcer , experience an exacerbation of the disease in the next 5 years. If an ulcer develops unfortunately, the treatment is challenging and need long duration. Teamwork consists of orthopedic surgeon, endocrinologist, infectious disease physician and a trained nurse in dressing is necessary to care for the wound. Moreover, diabetic foot ulcer treatment is expensive. On an average, the year treatment cost for wounds in Greece is 6.143 Euros. However, if the wound becomes complicated and amputated, the cost will rise to almost 60000 Euros. Therefore, based on the noble quote in health care profession “prevention is better than the treatment of the disease,”. Hence the purpose of the present proposal is to develop a smart insole for foot ulcer prevention in diabetic patients. Pressure sensors and actuators will be embedded into customized insoles to redistribute high-risk plantar pressures in localized plantar regions, such as metatarsal head and heel regions. The automatic adaptations of the shoe insole’s rigidity will redistribute the plantar pressure when the plantar pressure, as detected by the insole sensors, exceeds the preset threshold level.</p> </p> </div> <div class="col-lg-4 col-md-12"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 light-shadow green-line"> <div class="card-header bg-dark-green p-15"> <h5 class="mb-0 text-center text-white">Project Details</h5> </div> <div class="card-body"> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between"><span>Type:</span><span class="text-uppercase">national</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-call"><span>Call:</span><span class="text-right">2014-2020 (GSRT)</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-period"><span>Period:</span> <span class="project-dates text-right"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">16/06/2020</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">15/12/2022</span> </span> </p> <p class="d-flex flex-column project-website mb-3"><span class="mb-3">Website:</span><span><a href="https://uprevent-project.gr/" alt="project site" target="_blank">https://uprevent-project.gr/</a></span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-infopack mb-1"><span class="mb-2">Infopack:</span><span><a href="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/SafeACL.pdf" alt="project infopack" target="_blank"><img class="img-fluid infopack-image" src="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/themes/ibo/public/images/file-icon.svg" alt="infopack-image" />Download</a></span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-6 col-xl-3 project-wrapper national"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 py-15 pt-0 mb-30 project-card green-border-line" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#modal-3532"> <p class="project-title bg-dark p-15 text-light-green text-uppercase">FarMet</p> <div class="picture-wrapper d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center" style="min-height:270px;"> <div class="project-dates"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">01/07/2020</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">30/06/2021</span> </div> <img class="project-flag" src="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/themes/ibo/public/images/green_fund.jpg" title="project flag" alt="flag"/> <div class="project-picture bg-norepeat bg-center mb-10 mx-auto w-100" style="background:url('https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/farmet.jpg')"></div> </div> <div class="card-footer border-0 mb-n3"> <p class="project-call mb-1">Natural Environment & Innovative Actions 2020</p> </div> </div>  <div class="modal modal-project" id="modal-3532"> <div class="modal-dialog modal-xl"> <div class="modal-content border-0 rounded-0 ">  <div class="modal-header p-30 border-0 rounded-0 bg-dark "> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-8 pl-0"> <h2 class="project-title py-15 mb-10 text-light-green text-uppercase line-height-normal">FarMet</h2> <p class="project-subtitle text-white mb-3">Development of an urban farming and urban green assessment information system as a means of enhancing environmental quality and social cohesion in urban areas </p> <p class="project-call text-white mb-1">NATURAL ENVIRONMENT & INNOVATIVE ACTIONS 2020 </p> </div> </div> <button type="button" class="close text-white m-0 p-0" data-dismiss="modal">×</button> </div>  <div class="modal-body p-30"> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1 row"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-12 text-justify"> <h4 class="section-heading text-dark font-weight-bold">Abstract</h4> <p class="project-abstract mb-1"> <p>In modern reality, a change in policy making is required in order to safeguard the quality of life in the urban environment, the increase of urban green, but also for the enhancement of the connection between the urban population and the urban green. This connection can be reinforced with the integration of farming activities from citizens within the urban ecosystem. Even though such activities are acknowledged as basic drivers in participatory Eco-innovation, in our country an “integration gap” exists in the introduction of relative actions that promote sustainable development policies. There are multiple benefits from the integration of urban farming in urban spatial planning. More specifically, in the social level, such actions can reinforce social cohesion, networking and solidarity among citizens, will in parallel they constitute a strong stimulant in the promotion of participatory perception. In addition, urban farming connects modern citizens with the nature and the environment in the core of urban areas, while the cultivation of land offers a great exercising opportunity with beneficial physical and mental effects, thus improving the quality of physical and mental health of society as a whole. Moreover, the citizen engagement with primary organic farming is a source of supply of high-quality products for own consumption or to support initiatives such as social groceries. Similarly, at the financial level, the contribution can be significant, and in many cases, even critical (especially to low-income citizens), as through their involvement there is a financial benefit by limiting the expenses required for daily subsistence. At the environmental level, beyond the fact that the ecological awareness of the citizens is increased (especially in small ages with examples of urban gardens in schools), similar activities in urban centers contribute to the decrease of the carbon footprint though the promotion of green supply chains. In the context of the project, the development of an information system, towards enhancing urban farming in Greece, is proposed.</p> <p>The focus of this information system is on the following:</p> <ul> <li>Good practices of urban farming activity at international level</li> <li>Urban space specifications for the development of farming activities by citizens.</li> <li>Development of an information system for monitoring urban farming activity.</li> <li>Pilot application for monitoring areas suitable for urban cultural activity (e.g. municipal urban vegetable gardens, green areas in schools).</li> <li>Data collection for utilities and availability of local products.</li> <li>Practical advice to citizens/farmers and generation of educational material in the form of manuals and audio-visual material.</li> <li>Guidelines for environmental policy-making to promote urban farming</li> </ul> </p> </div> <div class="col-lg-4 col-md-12"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 light-shadow green-line"> <div class="card-header bg-dark-green p-15"> <h5 class="mb-0 text-center text-white">Project Details</h5> </div> <div class="card-body"> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between"><span>Type:</span><span class="text-uppercase">national</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-call"><span>Call:</span><span class="text-right">Natural Environment & Innovative Actions 2020</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-period"><span>Period:</span> <span class="project-dates text-right"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">01/07/2020</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">30/06/2021</span> </span> </p> <p class="d-flex flex-column project-website mb-3"><span class="mb-3">Website:</span><span><a href="" alt="project site" target="_blank"></a></span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-infopack mb-1"><span class="mb-2">Infopack:</span><span><a href="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/FarMet_Poster-1.pdf" alt="project infopack" target="_blank"><img class="img-fluid infopack-image" src="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/themes/ibo/public/images/file-icon.svg" alt="infopack-image" />Download</a></span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-6 col-xl-3 project-wrapper european"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 py-15 pt-0 mb-30 project-card green-border-line" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#modal-3194"> <p class="project-title bg-dark p-15 text-light-green text-uppercase">Med Food TTHubs</p> <div class="picture-wrapper d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center" style="min-height:270px;"> <div class="project-dates"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">01/03/2020</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">28/02/2023</span> </div> <img class="project-flag" src="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/themes/ibo/public/images/horizon.jpg" title="project flag" alt="flag"/> <div class="project-picture bg-norepeat bg-center mb-10 mx-auto w-100" style="background:url('https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/tt-hubs-final-logo.png')"></div> </div> <div class="card-footer border-0 mb-n3"> <p class="project-call mb-1">PRIMA Call-2019 </p> </div> </div>  <div class="modal modal-project" id="modal-3194"> <div class="modal-dialog modal-xl"> <div class="modal-content border-0 rounded-0 ">  <div class="modal-header p-30 border-0 rounded-0 bg-dark "> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-8 pl-0"> <h2 class="project-title py-15 mb-10 text-light-green text-uppercase line-height-normal">Med Food TTHubs</h2> <p class="project-subtitle text-white mb-3">Trace & Trust Hubs for MED food </p> <p class="project-call text-white mb-1"> </p> </div> </div> <button type="button" class="close text-white m-0 p-0" data-dismiss="modal">×</button> </div>  <div class="modal-body p-30"> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1 row"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-12 text-justify"> <h4 class="section-heading text-dark font-weight-bold">Abstract</h4> <p class="project-abstract mb-1"> <p><strong>Med Food TTHubs</strong> project focuses on Mediterranean food products as key points in the reform of tracing and authenticity procedures of traditional Mediterranean foods, adding value to high quality food products by supporting the implementation of full-path tracing practices through the whole distribution channel from seed to shelf.

The system will apply the “one step up, one step down” principle to provide effective tracking in the supply chain. In particular, each distinct product will be recognized globally and in a unique way so that it can be located upstream and downstream of the supply chain. All participants in the distribution network will be able to use the system to implement internal and external traceability practices, and in addition, internal traceability will be implemented in such a way as to ensure the necessary connections between inputs and outputs. The main objective of the system to be developed is to effectively support this implementation through a 4-step process: </span></p> <p><span lang="EN-US">1. Recognition: Following the GS1 standards, the system will (at unit level) discriminate all fresh products (commercial items), infrastructures , sites and so on, from the cultivator to the consumer. These numbers will provide links between the fresh product and the product-specific information. </span></p> <p><span lang="EN-US">2. Recording: GS1 system data carriers will be used for data management to meet different supply chain process needs for different products. The EAN / UPC barcodes are to be used for scanning at retail outlets. The GS1-128 barcodes will be used to identify product units in packaging and pallets to help inform product information and monitor their movement. GS1 DataBar barcodes that carry the same – and in some cases larger volumes – information in less space than the UPC barcodes will also be used. The data encoded in GS1 system carriers will not only identify the products (and product units) but will allow the trading partners to share large volumes of data (batch number, date of production, packaging information, etc.) . </span></p> <p><span lang="EN-US">3. Evaluation: The information gathered will be evaluated against the objectives expressed in the form of Performance Indicators (KPIs) set by the supply chain partners. In addition, the system will enable KPIs from the SCOR (Supply Chain Operations Reference) model to enable “anonymous” benchmarking of chain partners’ performance. </span></p> <p><span lang="EN-US">4.

Currently, policy making organizations predominantly utilize their own data, typically limited to their own jurisdiction/administrative area. However, once the policy development process expands beyond the traditional approach, there need for global data will emerge. The addition of national, European and even global reference data sets for comparative analysis including meteorological data, climatic analysis, and satellite data sources are needed to improve decision making processes. The studies at landscape scale are required to understand the ecological processes.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify; background: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 15.0pt 0cm;"><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #212529;">The focus will be on Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA). The benefits of applying agri-environment-climate technical solutions will be extensively studied to achieve sustainable agricultural development at landscape level. This can be achieved by supporting farm management modernization and at the same time getting to know the underlying ecological factors that shape the farming landscape. STARGATE will leverage access to these data while its climatic platform will foster easy and affordable adoption by policy making bodies. This simple approach is effective in the visualization of data and can support decision making in policy development. Unlike algorithmic simulation and modeling, visualization leaves the actual decision and assessment to a human user and thus provides an extra quality assurance before actual policy decisions are made. STARGATE provides innovative components for visualization of big data with a particular emphasis on geospatial visualization and advanced, dynamic charting.</span></p> </p> </div> <div class="col-lg-4 col-md-12"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 light-shadow green-line"> <div class="card-header bg-dark-green p-15"> <h5 class="mb-0 text-center text-white">Project Details</h5> </div> <div class="card-body"> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between"><span>Type:</span><span class="text-uppercase">european</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-call"><span>Call:</span><span class="text-right">H2020-SFS-2018-2020</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-period"><span>Period:</span> <span class="project-dates text-right"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">01/10/2019</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">30/09/2023</span> </span> </p> <p class="d-flex flex-column project-website mb-3"><span class="mb-3">Website:</span><span><a href="https://www.stargate-h2020.eu/" alt="project site" target="_blank">https://www.stargate-h2020.eu/</a></span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-infopack mb-1"><span class="mb-2">Infopack:</span><span><a href="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Poster_STARGATE-1.pdf" alt="project infopack" target="_blank"><img class="img-fluid infopack-image" src="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/themes/ibo/public/images/file-icon.svg" alt="infopack-image" />Download</a></span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-6 col-xl-3 project-wrapper european"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 py-15 pt-0 mb-30 project-card green-border-line" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#modal-805"> <p class="project-title bg-dark p-15 text-light-green text-uppercase">ATLAS</p> <div class="picture-wrapper d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center" style="min-height:270px;"> <div class="project-dates"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">01/10/2019</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">30/09/2022</span> </div> <img class="project-flag" src="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/themes/ibo/public/images/horizon.jpg" title="project flag" alt="flag"/> <div class="project-picture bg-norepeat bg-center mb-10 mx-auto w-100" style="background:url('https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/atlas.png')"></div> </div> <div class="card-footer border-0 mb-n3"> <p class="project-call mb-1">H2020-DT-2018-2020</p> </div> </div>  <div class="modal modal-project" id="modal-805"> <div class="modal-dialog modal-xl"> <div class="modal-content border-0 rounded-0 ">  <div class="modal-header p-30 border-0 rounded-0 bg-dark "> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-8 pl-0"> <h2 class="project-title py-15 mb-10 text-light-green text-uppercase line-height-normal">ATLAS</h2> <p class="project-subtitle text-white mb-3">Agricultural Interoperability and Analysis System </p> <p class="project-call text-white mb-1"> </p> </div> </div> <button type="button" class="close text-white m-0 p-0" data-dismiss="modal">×</button> </div>  <div class="modal-body p-30"> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1 row"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-12 text-justify"> <h4 class="section-heading text-dark font-weight-bold">Abstract</h4> <p class="project-abstract mb-1"> <p style="text-align: justify; background: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 15.0pt 0cm;"><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #212529;">The overall objective of ATLAS is the development of an open digital service platform for agricultural applications and to build a sustainable ecosystem for innovative data-driven agriculture using the platform. The platform will allow the flexible combination of agricultural machinery, sensor systems and data analysis tools to overcome the problem of lacking interoperability and to enable farmers to increase their productivity in a sustainable way by making use of the most advanced digital technology and data. The platform will define a service architecture providing hardware- and software-interoperability layers which enable the acquisition and sharing of data from a multitude of sensors and the analysis of this data using a multitude of dedicated analysis approaches.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify; background: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 15.0pt 0cm;"><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #212529;">The benefits of data driven agriculture will be demonstrated using the ATLAS platform within a multitude of pilot studies. Around these pilot studies, so called “Innovation Hubs”, a network of end-users, service providers, researchers and policy makers along the agricultural value chain, will be established to exploit the benefits of digital agriculture to a larger audience. Innovative companies will be attracted through seed funding to provide their services through the platform. With the knowledge created from these pilot studies, ATLAS will put significant effort into the definition of the next generation standards for data driven agriculture.</span></p> <p> </p> </p> </div> <div class="col-lg-4 col-md-12"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 light-shadow green-line"> <div class="card-header bg-dark-green p-15"> <h5 class="mb-0 text-center text-white">Project Details</h5> </div> <div class="card-body"> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between"><span>Type:</span><span class="text-uppercase">european</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-call"><span>Call:</span><span class="text-right">H2020-DT-2018-2020</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-period"><span>Period:</span> <span class="project-dates text-right"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">01/10/2019</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">30/09/2022</span> </span> </p> <p class="d-flex flex-column project-website mb-3"><span class="mb-3">Website:</span><span><a href="https://www.atlas-h2020.eu/" alt="project site" target="_blank">https://www.atlas-h2020.eu/</a></span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-infopack mb-1"><span class="mb-2">Infopack:</span><span><a href="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Poster_ATLAS-1.pdf" alt="project infopack" target="_blank"><img class="img-fluid infopack-image" src="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/themes/ibo/public/images/file-icon.svg" alt="infopack-image" />Download</a></span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-6 col-xl-3 project-wrapper european"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 py-15 pt-0 mb-30 project-card green-border-line" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#modal-803"> <p class="project-title bg-dark p-15 text-light-green text-uppercase">NAIADES</p> <div class="picture-wrapper d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center" style="min-height:270px;"> <div class="project-dates"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">01/06/2019</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">31/05/2022</span> </div> <img class="project-flag" src="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/themes/ibo/public/images/horizon.jpg" title="project flag" alt="flag"/> <div class="project-picture bg-norepeat bg-center mb-10 mx-auto w-100" style="background:url('https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/logo_naiades_project_0.png')"></div> </div> <div class="card-footer border-0 mb-n3"> <p class="project-call mb-1">H2020-SC5-2018-2019-2020</p> </div> </div>  <div class="modal modal-project" id="modal-803"> <div class="modal-dialog modal-xl"> <div class="modal-content border-0 rounded-0 ">  <div class="modal-header p-30 border-0 rounded-0 bg-dark "> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-8 pl-0"> <h2 class="project-title py-15 mb-10 text-light-green text-uppercase line-height-normal">NAIADES</h2> <p class="project-subtitle text-white mb-3">A holistic water ecosystem for digitisation of urban water sector </p> <p class="project-call text-white mb-1"> </p> </div> </div> <button type="button" class="close text-white m-0 p-0" data-dismiss="modal">×</button> </div>  <div class="modal-body p-30"> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1 row"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-12 text-justify"> <h4 class="section-heading text-dark font-weight-bold">Abstract</h4> <p class="project-abstract mb-1"> <p>The NAIADES project envisions the transformation of urban water management through automated and smarter water resource management and environmental monitoring, achieving a high level of water services for both residential and commercial consumers, exploiting the efficient use of physical and digital components of water ecosystem.

This awareness can be used for action planning of robots and coordination between robots and humans (Cheein et al., 2015). One of the potential domains for such application is agricultural intensive production systems where operational links in the production and supply chain are seen as emerging areas of human-robots synergetic approaches. The project objective is to develop a knowledge-based human-robot synergistic system for high-value crops (HVCs) handling operations including out-door harvesting and in-door storage in order to achieve an overall improved efficiency in HVCs logistics. Research will be performed along two axes with the aim: i. To improve human-machine synergy by introducing augmentation technologies to support machine’s situation awareness including workers’ activities, and ii.

In the current food market, synthetic sweeteners are available, such as aspartame, sucralose, cyclamates, etc. Although these sweeteners provide a sweet taste, with no calories, they are often accused of toxicity. This, promotes the growing need of consumption of natural sweeteners, such as sweeteners from Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni plant (200-300 times sweeter than sugar, no calories).</p> <p>However, although its use as a natural sweetener has been approved by European legislation (EC 1131/2011), consumer response is still moderate due to its undesirable metallic and bitter aftertaste. The objective of the proposed project is to optimize and consequently to promote the sensory characteristics of Greek stevia by removing or covering the bitter and metallic aftertaste. This aim will be achieved by intervening throughout the cultivation cycle, the post-harvest treatment, the processing of stevia for the production of raw materials (sweeteners) with excellent taste, to the development of new or improved food products, with innovative methods aiming at improving quality of life through reduction of sugar intake. The holistic approach at all the stages of agri-food chain of sweeteners production from stevia plant (steviol glycosides) is crucial for the in-depth investigation and afterwards the improvement of bitter-metal aftertaste.</p> <p>Specific objectives are:<br /> • Optimization of cultivation using innovative precision agriculture applications, to optimize the concentration and quality of glycosides<br /> • Recovery of glycosides through green extraction methods (microwaves, ultrasound, extraction in the presence of enzymes) and their isolation at high purity<br /> • Promotion of stevia sweeteners by covering or removing their bitter and metallic aftertaste through innovative encapsulation methods (electrospraying method), enzymatic transglycosylation and use of membranes<br /> • Use of improved steviol glycosides for the development of new or improved food products (refrigerated chocolate cream, refrigerated rice paddy) without addition of sugar, and sweeteners<br /> • Evaluation of the biological activity of steviol glycosides isolated from plant extract through in vitro studies (anti-cancer, intestinal barrier effect, drug interaction)<br /> • Techno-economic analysis and evaluation of the environmental footprint of processes and products through Life Cycle Analysis Methodology</p> <p>The development and application of innovative technologies in the agri-food sector, as well as the improvement of isolation and processing of stevia leaf extracts techniques, which will lead to the production of sweet powder or liquid to be used as a ready-to-use sweetener, will contribute to the dynamic introduction of Greece into the International stevia sweetener market, combining domestic stevia leaf cultivation with the ability to place the final product on the market as an E960 sweetener, with outstanding sensory properties. The development of innovative products based on steviol glycosides will benefit human health, contributing to the reduction of obesity and diabetes. Finally, it will benefit socially, environmentally and economically not only the participating institutions and the company, but also the Greek society.</p> </p> </div> <div class="col-lg-4 col-md-12"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 light-shadow green-line"> <div class="card-header bg-dark-green p-15"> <h5 class="mb-0 text-center text-white">Project Details</h5> </div> <div class="card-body"> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between"><span>Type:</span><span class="text-uppercase">national</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-call"><span>Call:</span><span class="text-right">2014-2020 (GSRT)</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-period"><span>Period:</span> <span class="project-dates text-right"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">31/07/2018</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">30/03/2022</span> </span> </p> <p class="d-flex flex-column project-website mb-3"><span class="mb-3">Website:</span><span><a href="http://tastestevia.gr/" alt="project site" target="_blank">http://tastestevia.gr/</a></span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-6 col-xl-3 project-wrapper national"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 py-15 pt-0 mb-30 project-card green-border-line" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#modal-498"> <p class="project-title bg-dark p-15 text-light-green text-uppercase">SAFEACL</p> <div class="picture-wrapper d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center" style="min-height:270px;"> <div class="project-dates"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">25/07/2018</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">24/05/2022</span> </div> <img class="project-flag" src="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/themes/ibo/public/images/epanek.jpg" title="project flag" alt="flag"/> <div class="project-picture bg-norepeat bg-center mb-10 mx-auto w-100" style="background:url('https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/safeacl2_logo.png')"></div> </div> <div class="card-footer border-0 mb-n3"> <p class="project-call mb-1">2014-2020 (GSRT)</p> </div> </div>  <div class="modal modal-project" id="modal-498"> <div class="modal-dialog modal-xl"> <div class="modal-content border-0 rounded-0 ">  <div class="modal-header p-30 border-0 rounded-0 bg-dark "> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-8 pl-0"> <h2 class="project-title py-15 mb-10 text-light-green text-uppercase line-height-normal">SAFEACL</h2> <p class="project-subtitle text-white mb-3">Decision support software for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction based on individualized muscoloskeletal computer models </p> <p class="project-call text-white mb-1">Single RTDI State Aid Action "RESEARCH - CREATE - INNOVATE" funded by the Operational Programme Competitiveness, Entrepreneurship and Innovation 2014-2020 (EPAnEK) </p> </div> </div> <button type="button" class="close text-white m-0 p-0" data-dismiss="modal">×</button> </div>  <div class="modal-body p-30"> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1 row"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-12 text-justify"> <h4 class="section-heading text-dark font-weight-bold">Abstract</h4> <p class="project-abstract mb-1"> <p>An anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is a devastating injury to an athlete and unfortunately is one of the more common knee injuries in athletes involved in rapid deceleration moves. An ACL deficient knee has a very high risk of instability, subsequent injury, and long-term osteoarthritis. It is estimated that between 100,000 and 250,000 of these injuries occur each year in the United States (no data for Europe). Reconstruction of the ACL is commonly performed to restore stability to the knee and allow the patient to return to a healthy and active lifestyle. The past 2 decades have seen significant advancements in the ability to restore stability and function to an ACL deficient knee with a primary ACL reconstruction. Although the procedure and rehabilitation has become more predictable, it still requires many months of rehabilitation and time away from the sports. After committing the time, effort and expense of a primary ACL reconstruction, to have it then re-tear is not only a frustrating and discouraging event for all involved, but there is also growing evidence that the long-term health of the knee is then at even greater risk Recent prospective analysis of a multicenter cohort has shown failure rate after ACL reconstruction to be 3.0 % at 2 years and a systematic review of randomized- controlled trials showed this rate to be 3.6 % at short-term follow-up.</p> <p>Revision ACL reconstruction is clinically challenging and associated with worse clinical outcomes than primary reconstructions, and a recent systematic review revealed a 13.7 % overall failure rate. Avoidable technical errors, including tunnel malposition, inadequate fixation, and failure to address concomitant malalignment and/or ligamentous injuries, have been implicated in 53–79 % of primary ACL graft failures. Due to the aforementioned reasons the development of an effective treatment to restore ACL function to avoid any postoperative complications is an important health and societal challenge. In current clinical practice, the ACL reconstruction plan is selected from a standard menu of options rather than customized to the unique characteristics of the patient. Furthermore, the treatment selection process is normally based on subjective clinical experience rather than objective prediction of post-treatment function. The net result is treatment methods that are less effective than desired at restoring lost knee joint’ s function. The aim of the present proposal is to develop a decision support system based on the integration of neuromusculoskeletal computer models with imaging (MRI, X-ray, ultrasound) and motion analysis data (kinematics, kinetics) to simulate the surgery and to improve customization, objectivity, and ultimately effectiveness of treatments for ACL reconstruction.</p> </p> </div> <div class="col-lg-4 col-md-12"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 light-shadow green-line"> <div class="card-header bg-dark-green p-15"> <h5 class="mb-0 text-center text-white">Project Details</h5> </div> <div class="card-body"> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between"><span>Type:</span><span class="text-uppercase">national</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-call"><span>Call:</span><span class="text-right">2014-2020 (GSRT)</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-period"><span>Period:</span> <span class="project-dates text-right"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">25/07/2018</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">24/05/2022</span> </span> </p> <p class="d-flex flex-column project-website mb-3"><span class="mb-3">Website:</span><span><a href="" alt="project site" target="_blank"></a></span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-infopack mb-1"><span class="mb-2">Infopack:</span><span><a href="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/SafeACL.pdf" alt="project infopack" target="_blank"><img class="img-fluid infopack-image" src="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/themes/ibo/public/images/file-icon.svg" alt="infopack-image" />Download</a></span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-6 col-xl-3 project-wrapper national"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 py-15 pt-0 mb-30 project-card green-border-line" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#modal-497"> <p class="project-title bg-dark p-15 text-light-green text-uppercase">GREENPOULTRY MEAT ANTIFREE</p> <div class="picture-wrapper d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center" style="min-height:270px;"> <div class="project-dates"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">09/07/2018</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">08/01/2023</span> </div> <img class="project-flag" src="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/themes/ibo/public/images/epanek.jpg" title="project flag" alt="flag"/> <p class="project-title text-light-green text-uppercase text-center font-weight-bold project-inner-title">GREENPOULTRY MEAT ANTIFREE</p> </div> <div class="card-footer border-0 mb-n3"> <p class="project-call mb-1">2014-2020 (GSRT)</p> </div> </div>  <div class="modal modal-project" id="modal-497"> <div class="modal-dialog modal-xl"> <div class="modal-content border-0 rounded-0 ">  <div class="modal-header p-30 border-0 rounded-0 bg-dark "> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-8 pl-0"> <h2 class="project-title py-15 mb-10 text-light-green text-uppercase line-height-normal">GREENPOULTRY MEAT ANTIFREE</h2> <p class="project-subtitle text-white mb-3">Development of a broiler meat production system with reduced environmental impact and antibiotic free </p> <p class="project-call text-white mb-1">Single RTDI State Aid Action "RESEARCH - CREATE - INNOVATE" funded by the Operational Programme Competitiveness, Entrepreneurship and Innovation 2014-2020 (EPAnEK) </p> </div> </div> <button type="button" class="close text-white m-0 p-0" data-dismiss="modal">×</button> </div>  <div class="modal-body p-30"> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1 row"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-12 text-justify"> <h4 class="section-heading text-dark font-weight-bold">Abstract</h4> <p class="project-abstract mb-1"> <p>Chicken meat production on an industrial scale must remain competitive in the world market and reduce its adverse environmental impact. This research proposal aims at enhancing the competitiveness and outreach of the participating companies, as well as in promoting innovative entrepreneurship through the production of chicken meat without the use of antibiotic substances, not even for therapeutic purposes, which will be achieved through an innovative production system of reduced environmental footprint. In particular, managerial and nutritional methods will be studied and applied which will replace the use of antibiotics in poultry farming, such as novel means of shaping the environmental conditions of the poultry house, building innovation and biosafety, with the creation of a prototype chicken house for 1000 broilers, that will lead to the production of an innovative product with scientific documentation as “green chicken free of antibiotics”.</p> <p>At the same time, the research project will scientifically identify and propose a system of traceability of the chicken farm and the produced chicken, using a combination of omic technologies, examination of the microbiome and identification of genes of antibiotic resistance of bacteria (in digestive system and the carcass), with well-defined methodology. It will also help minimize the risks of transferring resistance genes to bacteria that can cause harm to human health. In addition, the identification of the proteome and the microbiome of the produced chicken meat will support the discrete production, without the use of antibiotics and with a reduced environmental footprint, measured through the carbon-life cycle (LCA). Within the framework of this program, industrial development of production will be carried out with the involvement of business partners, as the cooperation between researchers, livestock farmers, feed andmeat industries will be promoted.</p> <p>A novel rearing system will be developed, to produce for the first time internationally a “green” and antibiotic-free chicken, by a unique innovative method of Greek production, leading to an increase of the domestic added value, with very competitive export importance, products of high added value, as well as benefits for consumers’ health in international level, since the absence of use of antibiotics will minimize the expression of microbial resistance genes in chickens and the possibility of transference to humans. This program covers two basic requirements of the European Union, that one on hand has prioritized the reduction of the consumption of energy in the agriculture sector due to rising energy prices and the requirements of sustainable development, and on the other hand the challenge of antibiotic resistance, since FAO considers antibiotic resistance as the most important global risk against human health. At the same time this program sets the small Greek poultry production as a unique and distinct production system, with worldwide importance, which could not be acquired through conventional methods of industrial production.</p> </p> </div> <div class="col-lg-4 col-md-12"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 light-shadow green-line"> <div class="card-header bg-dark-green p-15"> <h5 class="mb-0 text-center text-white">Project Details</h5> </div> <div class="card-body"> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between"><span>Type:</span><span class="text-uppercase">national</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-call"><span>Call:</span><span class="text-right">2014-2020 (GSRT)</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-period"><span>Period:</span> <span class="project-dates text-right"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">09/07/2018</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">08/01/2023</span> </span> </p> <p class="d-flex flex-column project-website mb-3"><span class="mb-3">Website:</span><span><a href="https://www.greenpoultry2.eu" alt="project site" target="_blank">https://www.greenpoultry2.eu</a></span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-6 col-xl-3 project-wrapper national"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 py-15 pt-0 mb-30 project-card green-border-line" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#modal-492"> <p class="project-title bg-dark p-15 text-light-green text-uppercase">NANOFUM</p> <div class="picture-wrapper d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center" style="min-height:270px;"> <div class="project-dates"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">29/05/2018</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">28/05/2021</span> </div> <img class="project-flag" src="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/themes/ibo/public/images/epanek.jpg" title="project flag" alt="flag"/> <div class="project-picture bg-norepeat bg-center mb-10 mx-auto w-100" style="background:url('https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/NANOFUM_logo-253x300.png')"></div> </div> <div class="card-footer border-0 mb-n3"> <p class="project-call mb-1">Greece-Germany: Call for Proposals on Bilateral Research and Innovation Cooperation </p> </div> </div>  <div class="modal modal-project" id="modal-492"> <div class="modal-dialog modal-xl"> <div class="modal-content border-0 rounded-0 ">  <div class="modal-header p-30 border-0 rounded-0 bg-dark "> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-8 pl-0"> <h2 class="project-title py-15 mb-10 text-light-green text-uppercase line-height-normal">NANOFUM</h2> <p class="project-subtitle text-white mb-3">Development of carbon nanotube-based wireless gas sensors and applications in stored product protection and food safety </p> <p class="project-call text-white mb-1">Greece-Germany: Call for Proposals on Bilateral Research and Innovation Cooperation </p> </div> </div> <button type="button" class="close text-white m-0 p-0" data-dismiss="modal">×</button> </div>  <div class="modal-body p-30"> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1 row"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-12 text-justify"> <h4 class="section-heading text-dark font-weight-bold">Abstract</h4> <p class="project-abstract mb-1"> <p>NANOFUM aims to develop highly-evolved, smart gas sensors and cloud-based tools, to address specific safety challenges in sanitation and protection of stored commodities such as grains.

The industry-led focus is Bioeconomy, an industry common to partners’ RIS3. BRIDGES partnerships are from Finland, Greece, Spain, Hungary, Poland and Slovenia. It combines RIS3 diversification and specialization in these regions, contributing to the achievement of the objectives in a complementary and synergetic way. BRIDGES regions face challenges deriving from the effectiveness of their RIS3 implementation. In some cases, challenges relate to the process of valorizing research results, while in other cases to the transformation and renewal of regional economies.</p> <p>The overarching improvement need is for better RIS3 implementation governance, to deal with:</p> <p>1) relatively weak impact of RIS3 on growth, jobs and regional economy renewal (linked to low upscale investments, research excellence absorptiveness, and exploitation of related variety potential),</p> <p>2) mismatches between RIS3 productive and RDI bases,</p> <p>3) distance from and better exploitation of research excellence as a path to further specialization,</p> <p>4) restricted resources towards RIS3 impact.</p> <p>BRIDGES wants to primarily break the vicious circle of regional lock-ins, dominant in less advanced regions, and restricting the RIS3 impact. By addressing knowledge asymmetries through networked solutions it also contributes to the uptake of commercially unexplored excellence results of the more advanced regions. Thus the RIS3 performance is improved in both types of regions. Furthermore, awareness, methodological and resource gaps between advanced and less advanced regions are bridged, concretely and for the long run. This creates upscaled sources of increasing returns for all the regions.</p> </p> </div> <div class="col-lg-4 col-md-12"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 light-shadow green-line"> <div class="card-header bg-dark-green p-15"> <h5 class="mb-0 text-center text-white">Project Details</h5> </div> <div class="card-body"> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between"><span>Type:</span><span class="text-uppercase">european</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-call"><span>Call:</span><span class="text-right">INTERREG EUROPE 2014-2020</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-period"><span>Period:</span> <span class="project-dates text-right"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">01/04/2016</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">31/12/2020</span> </span> </p> <p class="d-flex flex-column project-website mb-3"><span class="mb-3">Website:</span><span><a href="https://www.interregeurope.eu/bridges/" alt="project site" target="_blank">https://www.interregeurope.eu/bridges/</a></span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-infopack mb-1"><span class="mb-2">Infopack:</span><span><a href="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/18_BRIDGES-1.pdf" alt="project infopack" target="_blank"><img class="img-fluid infopack-image" src="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/themes/ibo/public/images/file-icon.svg" alt="infopack-image" />Download</a></span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-6 col-xl-3 project-wrapper european"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 py-15 pt-0 mb-30 project-card green-border-line" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#modal-255"> <p class="project-title bg-dark p-15 text-light-green text-uppercase">EUXDAT</p> <div class="picture-wrapper d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center" style="min-height:270px;"> <div class="project-dates"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">01/11/2017</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">31/10/2020</span> </div> <img class="project-flag" src="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/themes/ibo/public/images/horizon.jpg" title="project flag" alt="flag"/> <div class="project-picture bg-norepeat bg-center mb-10 mx-auto w-100" style="background:url('https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/EUXDAT_logo_v03_final-01-300x140.jpg')"></div> </div> <div class="card-footer border-0 mb-n3"> <p class="project-call mb-1">H2020-EINFRA-2016-2017</p> </div> </div>  <div class="modal modal-project" id="modal-255"> <div class="modal-dialog modal-xl"> <div class="modal-content border-0 rounded-0 ">  <div class="modal-header p-30 border-0 rounded-0 bg-dark "> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-8 pl-0"> <h2 class="project-title py-15 mb-10 text-light-green text-uppercase line-height-normal">EUXDAT</h2> <p class="project-subtitle text-white mb-3">European e-Infrastructure for Extreme Data Analytics in Sustainable Development </p> <p class="project-call text-white mb-1"> </p> </div> </div> <button type="button" class="close text-white m-0 p-0" data-dismiss="modal">×</button> </div>  <div class="modal-body p-30"> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1 row"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-12 text-justify"> <h4 class="section-heading text-dark font-weight-bold">Abstract</h4> <p class="project-abstract mb-1"> <p>Agriculture is a vital industry, not only important for nourishment, but also a key determinant of health, economic and political stability, employment, business and biological ecosystems and society. Because of its importance, most attention is focused on productivity but it is essential to have a global view in order to address environment sustainability problems. EUXDAT proposes an e-Infrastructure, which addresses agriculture, land monitoring and energy efficiency for a sustainable development, as a way to support planning policies. In order to do so, EUXDAT addresses the problems related to the current and future large amount of heterogeneous data to be managed and processed. EUXDAT builds on existing mature components for solving them, by providing an advanced frontend, where users will develop applications on top of an infrastructure based on HPC and Cloud. The front end provides monitoring information, visualization, different parallelized data analytic tools and enhanced data and processes catalogues, enabling Large Data Analytics-as-a-Service. EUXDAT will include a large set of data connectors (UAVs, Copernicus, field sensors, etc.), for scalable analytics. As for the brokering infrastructure, EUXDAT aims at optimizing data and resources usage. In addition to a mechanism for supporting data management linked to data quality evaluation, EUXDAT proposes a way to orchestrate tasks execution, identifying whether the best target is a HPC center or a Cloud provider. It will use monitoring and profiling information for taking decisions based on trade-offs related to cost, data constraints, efficiency and resources availability. During the project, EUXDAT will be in contact with scientific communities, in order to identify new trends and datasets, for guiding the evolution of the e-Infrastructure. The final results of the project will be an integrated e-Infrastructure which will encourage end users to create new applications for sustainable development.</p> </p> </div> <div class="col-lg-4 col-md-12"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 light-shadow green-line"> <div class="card-header bg-dark-green p-15"> <h5 class="mb-0 text-center text-white">Project Details</h5> </div> <div class="card-body"> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between"><span>Type:</span><span class="text-uppercase">european</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-call"><span>Call:</span><span class="text-right">H2020-EINFRA-2016-2017</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-period"><span>Period:</span> <span class="project-dates text-right"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">01/11/2017</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">31/10/2020</span> </span> </p> <p class="d-flex flex-column project-website mb-3"><span class="mb-3">Website:</span><span><a href="http://www.euxdat.eu/" alt="project site" target="_blank">http://www.euxdat.eu/</a></span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-infopack mb-1"><span class="mb-2">Infopack:</span><span><a href="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/05_EUXDAT_poster_iBO_002.pdf" alt="project infopack" target="_blank"><img class="img-fluid infopack-image" src="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/themes/ibo/public/images/file-icon.svg" alt="infopack-image" />Download</a></span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-6 col-xl-3 project-wrapper european"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 py-15 pt-0 mb-30 project-card green-border-line" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#modal-251"> <p class="project-title bg-dark p-15 text-light-green text-uppercase">OACTIVE</p> <div class="picture-wrapper d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center" style="min-height:270px;"> <div class="project-dates"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">01/11/2017</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">31/10/2020</span> </div> <img class="project-flag" src="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/themes/ibo/public/images/horizon.jpg" title="project flag" alt="flag"/> <div class="project-picture bg-norepeat bg-center mb-10 mx-auto w-100" style="background:url('https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/OACTIVE-300x93.jpg')"></div> </div> <div class="card-footer border-0 mb-n3"> <p class="project-call mb-1">H2020-SC1-2016-2017</p> </div> </div>  <div class="modal modal-project" id="modal-251"> <div class="modal-dialog modal-xl"> <div class="modal-content border-0 rounded-0 ">  <div class="modal-header p-30 border-0 rounded-0 bg-dark "> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-8 pl-0"> <h2 class="project-title py-15 mb-10 text-light-green text-uppercase line-height-normal">OACTIVE</h2> <p class="project-subtitle text-white mb-3">Advanced personalised, multi-scale computer models preventing OsteoArthritis </p> <p class="project-call text-white mb-1"> </p> </div> </div> <button type="button" class="close text-white m-0 p-0" data-dismiss="modal">×</button> </div>  <div class="modal-body p-30"> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1 row"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-12 text-justify"> <h4 class="section-heading text-dark font-weight-bold">Abstract</h4> <p class="project-abstract mb-1"> <p>Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease of the articular cartilage and the most common form of arthritis that causes joint pain, mobility limitation and, thus, reduces independence and overall quality of life. Although the usual population associated with the condition is the elderly (65 years old ranges from 12- 30%), who are mostly inactive, athletes and younger individuals are also susceptible. Whilst the available data have implicated the role of the various modifiable or non-modifiable risk factors in the development and progression of OA, no study has conclusively explored the interaction and integration of other information sets in a patient-specific manner. The current OACTIVE project intends to make a significant leap forward adopting a multi-scale holistic approach where patient-specific information from various levels, including cell, tissue, organ and whole body will be integrated and combined with information from other sources such as biochemical/ inflammatory biomarkers, behavior modeling and social/environmental risk factors to generate robust predictors for new personalized interventions for delaying onset and slowing down progression of OA. OACTIVE targets to patient-specific OA prediction and interventions by using a combination of mechanistic, phenomenological computational models, simulations and big data analytics. Once constructed, these models will be used to simulate and predict optimal treatments, better diagnostics, and improved patient outcomes. Overcoming the limitation of the current treatment interventions, Augmented Reality empowered interventions will be developed in a personalized framework allowing patients to experience the treatment as a more enjoyable, resulting in greater motivation, engagement, and training adherence. OACTIVE’s mission is to improve healthcare by transforming and accelerating the OA diagnosis and prediction based on a more comprehensive understanding of disease pathophysiology, dynamics, and patient outcomes.</p> </p> </div> <div class="col-lg-4 col-md-12"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 light-shadow green-line"> <div class="card-header bg-dark-green p-15"> <h5 class="mb-0 text-center text-white">Project Details</h5> </div> <div class="card-body"> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between"><span>Type:</span><span class="text-uppercase">european</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-call"><span>Call:</span><span class="text-right">H2020-SC1-2016-2017</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-period"><span>Period:</span> <span class="project-dates text-right"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">01/11/2017</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">31/10/2020</span> </span> </p> <p class="d-flex flex-column project-website mb-3"><span class="mb-3">Website:</span><span><a href="https://www.oactive.eu/" alt="project site" target="_blank">https://www.oactive.eu/</a></span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-infopack mb-1"><span class="mb-2">Infopack:</span><span><a href="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/14_OACTIVE.pdf" alt="project infopack" target="_blank"><img class="img-fluid infopack-image" src="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/themes/ibo/public/images/file-icon.svg" alt="infopack-image" />Download</a></span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-6 col-xl-3 project-wrapper european"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 py-15 pt-0 mb-30 project-card green-border-line" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#modal-100"> <p class="project-title bg-dark p-15 text-light-green text-uppercase">Z-FACTOR</p> <div class="picture-wrapper d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center" style="min-height:270px;"> <div class="project-dates"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">01/10/2016</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">31/03/2020</span> </div> <img class="project-flag" src="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/themes/ibo/public/images/horizon.jpg" title="project flag" alt="flag"/> <div class="project-picture bg-norepeat bg-center mb-10 mx-auto w-100" style="background:url('https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/z-factorlogo.jpg')"></div> </div> <div class="card-footer border-0 mb-n3"> <p class="project-call mb-1">H2020-FOF-2016</p> </div> </div>  <div class="modal modal-project" id="modal-100"> <div class="modal-dialog modal-xl"> <div class="modal-content border-0 rounded-0 ">  <div class="modal-header p-30 border-0 rounded-0 bg-dark "> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-8 pl-0"> <h2 class="project-title py-15 mb-10 text-light-green text-uppercase line-height-normal">Z-FACTOR</h2> <p class="project-subtitle text-white mb-3">Zero-defect manufacturing strategies towards on-line production management for European factories </p> <p class="project-call text-white mb-1"> </p> </div> </div> <button type="button" class="close text-white m-0 p-0" data-dismiss="modal">×</button> </div>  <div class="modal-body p-30"> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1 row"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-12 text-justify"> <h4 class="section-heading text-dark font-weight-bold">Abstract</h4> <p class="project-abstract mb-1"> <div class="project-description ng-binding"> <p>Manufacturing represents approximately 21 % of the EU’s GDP and 20 % of its employment, providing more than 30 million jobs in 230 000 enterprises, mostly SMEs. Moreover, each job in the industry is considered to be linked to two more in related services. European manufacturing is also a dominant element in international trade, leading the world in areas such as automotive, machinery and agricultural engineering. Already threatened by both the lower-wage economies and other high-tech rivals, the situation of EU companies was made even more difficult by the downturn. The Z-Fact0r consortium has conducted an extensive state-of-the-art research and realized that although a number of activities have tried to address the need for zero-defect manufacturing, still there is a vast business opportunity for innovative, high-ROI solutions to ensure, better quality and higher productivity in the European manufacturing industries. The Z-Fact0r solution comprises the introduction of five multi-stage production-based strategies targeting i. the early detection of the defect, ii. the prediction of the defect generation, iii. the prevention of defect generation by recalibrating the production line, as well as defect propagation in later stages of the production, iv. the working/remanufacturing of the product, if this is possible, using additive and subtractive manufacturing techniques and v. the management of the aforementioned strategies through event modelling, KPI -key performance indicators- monitoring and real-time decision support. To do that Z-Fact0r brought together a total of thirteen EU-based partners, representing both industry and academia, having ample experience in cutting-edge technologies and active presence in EU manufacturing.</p> </div> </p> </div> <div class="col-lg-4 col-md-12"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 light-shadow green-line"> <div class="card-header bg-dark-green p-15"> <h5 class="mb-0 text-center text-white">Project Details</h5> </div> <div class="card-body"> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between"><span>Type:</span><span class="text-uppercase">european</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-call"><span>Call:</span><span class="text-right">H2020-FOF-2016</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-period"><span>Period:</span> <span class="project-dates text-right"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">01/10/2016</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">31/03/2020</span> </span> </p> <p class="d-flex flex-column project-website mb-3"><span class="mb-3">Website:</span><span><a href="http://www.z-fact0r.eu/" alt="project site" target="_blank">http://www.z-fact0r.eu/</a></span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-infopack mb-1"><span class="mb-2">Infopack:</span><span><a href="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/10_Z-Fact0r-003.pdf" alt="project infopack" target="_blank"><img class="img-fluid infopack-image" src="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/themes/ibo/public/images/file-icon.svg" alt="infopack-image" />Download</a></span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-6 col-xl-3 project-wrapper european"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 py-15 pt-0 mb-30 project-card green-border-line" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#modal-484"> <p class="project-title bg-dark p-15 text-light-green text-uppercase">DESIGN IT</p> <div class="picture-wrapper d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center" style="min-height:270px;"> <div class="project-dates"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">01/09/2017</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">31/08/2019</span> </div> <img class="project-flag" src="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/themes/ibo/public/images/erasmus.jpg" title="project flag" alt="flag"/> <div class="project-picture bg-norepeat bg-center mb-10 mx-auto w-100" style="background:url('https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Design-IT_Logo-300x145.png')"></div> </div> <div class="card-footer border-0 mb-n3"> <p class="project-call mb-1">ERASMUS+</p> </div> </div>  <div class="modal modal-project" id="modal-484"> <div class="modal-dialog modal-xl"> <div class="modal-content border-0 rounded-0 ">  <div class="modal-header p-30 border-0 rounded-0 bg-dark "> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-8 pl-0"> <h2 class="project-title py-15 mb-10 text-light-green text-uppercase line-height-normal">DESIGN IT</h2> <p class="project-subtitle text-white mb-3">Design thinking in higher education for promoting human-centered innovation in business and society </p> <p class="project-call text-white mb-1"> </p> </div> </div> <button type="button" class="close text-white m-0 p-0" data-dismiss="modal">×</button> </div>  <div class="modal-body p-30"> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1 row"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-12 text-justify"> <h4 class="section-heading text-dark font-weight-bold">Abstract</h4> <p class="project-abstract mb-1"> <p>Enhancing the quality and relevance of student’s knowledge and skills: DesignIT targets entrepreneurial skills of higher education students and proposes innovative technology-enhanced learning approaches that expose students to emerging design thinking concepts. The project exploits technology, and particularly gaming elements in learning, to help bring into focus the creativity and innovation that every student has encouraging them to think out of the box for introducing solutions to real-world problems. Entrepreneurial capacity is important as it is among the key transversal competencies that can help an individual excel independently of subject area. Entrepreneurship is linked to creativity and innovation. It is particularly relevant today as it can contribute to sustainable growth by helping bring ideas into life. DesignIT addresses entrepreneurial capacity in all study disciplines in higher education. It aims at linking higher education to the world of work and to society by building the practical skills that students need in order to implement ideas and bring them to market for the benefit of all. Supporting the social engagement of higher education institutions and promoting inter cultural and civic competences: DesignIT addresses wide aspects of entrepreneurship. The project aims to build student capacity to ideate and implement ideas for business and for social innovation. The second objective is key in DesignIT and aims at putting the knowledge and creativity of students to work for addressing wide societal issues and for introducing viable solutions even when none appears to exist. This part of the project is linked to the social engagement of higher education students and institutions and the development of awareness and competences among students for becoming active citizens. In addition to building student skills, DesignIT also builds the capacity of educators to introduce into classrooms offerings related to entrepreneurship, including social entrepreneurship, enriching the learning experiences of students, enhancing their skills, and helping link skills developed in higher education to societal needs. Open and innovative practices in a digital era: DesignIT exploits emerging technology, and specifically gamification and learning games, for promoting the engagement and collaboration of students in entrepreneurship education contexts. The project introduces technology-enhanced learning solutions that can act as complementary learning tools in wider classroom practices. The proposed educational tools will be publicly available to all interested parties. Their evaluation in real-life contexts engaging students and instructors will contribute to the development of good practices on how technology can enhance already existing educational activities by enhancing interaction, motivating participation, promoting a healthy competition in educational contexts, and shaping innovative minds sets.</p> </p> </div> <div class="col-lg-4 col-md-12"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 light-shadow green-line"> <div class="card-header bg-dark-green p-15"> <h5 class="mb-0 text-center text-white">Project Details</h5> </div> <div class="card-body"> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between"><span>Type:</span><span class="text-uppercase">european</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-call"><span>Call:</span><span class="text-right">ERASMUS+</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-period"><span>Period:</span> <span class="project-dates text-right"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">01/09/2017</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">31/08/2019</span> </span> </p> <p class="d-flex flex-column project-website mb-3"><span class="mb-3">Website:</span><span><a href="https://designit.e-ce.uth.gr/" alt="project site" target="_blank">https://designit.e-ce.uth.gr/</a></span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-infopack mb-1"><span class="mb-2">Infopack:</span><span><a href="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Poster_DESIGNIT.pdf" alt="project infopack" target="_blank"><img class="img-fluid infopack-image" src="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/themes/ibo/public/images/file-icon.svg" alt="infopack-image" />Download</a></span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-6 col-xl-3 project-wrapper national"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 py-15 pt-0 mb-30 project-card green-border-line" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#modal-499"> <p class="project-title bg-dark p-15 text-light-green text-uppercase">NEXUS</p> <div class="picture-wrapper d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center" style="min-height:270px;"> <div class="project-dates"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">01/01/2017</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">31/12/2019</span> </div> <img class="project-flag" src="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/themes/ibo/public/images/gsrt.jpg" title="project flag" alt="flag"/> <div class="project-picture bg-norepeat bg-center mb-10 mx-auto w-100" style="background:url('https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/slider.jpg')"></div> </div> <div class="card-footer border-0 mb-n3"> <p class="project-call mb-1">2014-2020 (GSRT)</p> </div> </div>  <div class="modal modal-project" id="modal-499"> <div class="modal-dialog modal-xl"> <div class="modal-content border-0 rounded-0 ">  <div class="modal-header p-30 border-0 rounded-0 bg-dark "> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-8 pl-0"> <h2 class="project-title py-15 mb-10 text-light-green text-uppercase line-height-normal">NEXUS</h2> <p class="project-subtitle text-white mb-3">Research synergy to address major challenges in the nexus: energy-environment-agricultural production (Food, Water, Materials) </p> <p class="project-call text-white mb-1">Operational Programme Competitiveness, Entrepreneurship and Innovation 2014-2020 (GSRT) </p> </div> </div> <button type="button" class="close text-white m-0 p-0" data-dismiss="modal">×</button> </div>  <div class="modal-body p-30"> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1 row"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-12 text-justify"> <h4 class="section-heading text-dark font-weight-bold">Abstract</h4> <p class="project-abstract mb-1"> <p>The proposed project NEXUS aims to the development of innovative systems that connect the Nexus of Energy, Environment and Agricultural Production (Water, Food, Minerals), creating the technological foundations for economic and social development. At the proposed research scheme, two institutes of CERTH (CPERI and IBO) will join their forces to a holistic approach of the Nexus Energy-Environment-Agricultural Production utilizing and expanding their specialized expertise in the fields of agrotechnology and physicochemical processes. The aim of NEXUS is to utilize Greek raw materials and available residues and by-products of the primary sector, emphasizing in the use of technologies that have been developed to a great extent by CERTH itself.<span class="aak"> </span>This way the principles of circular economy, already applied in the EU, are promoted, having a great application potential in our country.<br /> NEXUS is expected to set the foundations for the development of smart farming systems, smart material production systems, as well innovative systems of sustainable energy production and energy carriers. More specifically NEXUS will contribute to the development of a model integrated and adaptive farm management low input system, aiming to the production of food raw materials and the management of the relevant resources (energy, water, etc.) in an environmentally and economically sustainable manner. At the same time, NEXUS will support the optimization of physicochemical, electrochemical, enzymatic and solar thermal processes for the integrated recovery of agricultural and industrial waste, and for the production of energy and energy carriers (e.g. hydrogen, cracker bio-oil). Equally important is considered to be the contribution of the project to the development and synthesis of innovative materials (biochemical, biopolymer, ceramic, magnetically etc.) with multiple applications such as communication systems, biomedical, cosmetics, packaging industry etc.</p> </p> </div> <div class="col-lg-4 col-md-12"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 light-shadow green-line"> <div class="card-header bg-dark-green p-15"> <h5 class="mb-0 text-center text-white">Project Details</h5> </div> <div class="card-body"> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between"><span>Type:</span><span class="text-uppercase">national</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-call"><span>Call:</span><span class="text-right">2014-2020 (GSRT)</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-period"><span>Period:</span> <span class="project-dates text-right"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">01/01/2017</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">31/12/2019</span> </span> </p> <p class="d-flex flex-column project-website mb-3"><span class="mb-3">Website:</span><span><a href="" alt="project site" target="_blank"></a></span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-infopack mb-1"><span class="mb-2">Infopack:</span><span><a href="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Poster_NEXUS.pdf" alt="project infopack" target="_blank"><img class="img-fluid infopack-image" src="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/themes/ibo/public/images/file-icon.svg" alt="infopack-image" />Download</a></span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-6 col-xl-3 project-wrapper european"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 py-15 pt-0 mb-30 project-card green-border-line" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#modal-268"> <p class="project-title bg-dark p-15 text-light-green text-uppercase">FINESOL</p> <div class="picture-wrapper d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center" style="min-height:270px;"> <div class="project-dates"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">01/11/2015</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">30/04/2019</span> </div> <img class="project-flag" src="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/themes/ibo/public/images/horizon.jpg" title="project flag" alt="flag"/> <div class="project-picture bg-norepeat bg-center mb-10 mx-auto w-100" style="background:url('https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/f71988_088c52729c5b4c09a746a9428131bd3d.png')"></div> </div> <div class="card-footer border-0 mb-n3"> <p class="project-call mb-1">H2020-FOF-2015</p> </div> </div>  <div class="modal modal-project" id="modal-268"> <div class="modal-dialog modal-xl"> <div class="modal-content border-0 rounded-0 ">  <div class="modal-header p-30 border-0 rounded-0 bg-dark "> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-8 pl-0"> <h2 class="project-title py-15 mb-10 text-light-green text-uppercase line-height-normal">FINESOL</h2> <p class="project-subtitle text-white mb-3">Assembly of miniaturized PCBs by using low cost hyper-fine solder powders </p> <p class="project-call text-white mb-1"> </p> </div> </div> <button type="button" class="close text-white m-0 p-0" data-dismiss="modal">×</button> </div>  <div class="modal-body p-30"> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1 row"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-12 text-justify"> <h4 class="section-heading text-dark font-weight-bold">Abstract</h4> <p class="project-abstract mb-1"> <p>The total EU electronics industry employs ≈20.5 million people, sales exceeding €1 trillion and includes 396,000 SMEs. It is a major contributor to EU GDP and its size continues to grow fueled by demand from consumers to many industries. Despite its many positive impacts, the industry also faces some challenges connected with the enormous quantity of raw materials that it needs for sustainability, the huge quantity of Waste Electrical, Electronics Equipment generated and the threat of competition from Asia. To sustain its growth, to manage the impact of WEEE and to face the competition from Asia, the industry needs innovations in key areas. One such area is the drive for ultra-miniaturisation/ultlra-functionality of equipment. The key current road block/limitation to achieving the goal of ultra-miniaturisation/functionality is how to increase the component density on the printed circuit board. This is currently limited by the availability of hyper fine pitch solder powder pastes. FineSol aims to deliver at first stage an integrated production line for solder particles with size 1-10 μm and to formulate solder pastes containing these particles. Thus, by proper printing methods (e.g. screen and jet printing) the fabrication of PCBs with more than double component density will be achieved. Consequently, this would effectively enable more than a doubling of the functions available on electronic devices such as cell phones, satellite navigation systems, health devices etc. The successful completion of the FineSol project would lift the ultra-miniaturisation/functionality road block and also enable reduction in raw material usage, reduction in WEEE, reduction in pollution and associated health costs and also a major reduction in EU energy demand with all its indirect benefits for environment and society.</p> </p> </div> <div class="col-lg-4 col-md-12"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 light-shadow green-line"> <div class="card-header bg-dark-green p-15"> <h5 class="mb-0 text-center text-white">Project Details</h5> </div> <div class="card-body"> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between"><span>Type:</span><span class="text-uppercase">european</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-call"><span>Call:</span><span class="text-right">H2020-FOF-2015</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-period"><span>Period:</span> <span class="project-dates text-right"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">01/11/2015</span> -

A rational, consistent and far-sighted approach to heating and cooling is key for ensuring such transformation. Toward this direction, district heating and cooling systems need to be more efficient, intelligent and cheaper. InDeal project will offer an innovative platform that will impose a fairly distribution of heating and cooling among the network’s buildings by: i. real – time energy consumption data gathering via artificial intelligent meters ii. identifying and evaluating the network’s buildings’ need and demand for heating and cooling depending to their energy efficiency, energy consumption and type of building, iii. predicting the short-term and long-term weather conditions and forthcoming need for heating and cooling, iv. monitoring and control the level of energy stored in network’s storage stations and substations v. 24/7 monitoring of the DHC system by a central control platform and vi. minimizing heat losses via novel pipe design solutions and innovative insulation materials. The target of InDeal is to turn the current DHCS into a new next-level automated DHCS that will guarantee the increase of the overall energy efficiency of the system accomplishing a fairly distribution of heating and cooling energy demands. In light of this, InDeal will make a significant step forward contributing to wider use of intelligent district heating and cooling systems and integration of renewables, waste and storage.</p> </p> </div> <div class="col-lg-4 col-md-12"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 light-shadow green-line"> <div class="card-header bg-dark-green p-15"> <h5 class="mb-0 text-center text-white">Project Details</h5> </div> <div class="card-body"> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between"><span>Type:</span><span class="text-uppercase">european</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-call"><span>Call:</span><span class="text-right">H2020-EE-2015-2-RIA</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-period"><span>Period:</span> <span class="project-dates text-right"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">01/06/2016</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">31/03/2019</span> </span> </p> <p class="d-flex flex-column project-website mb-3"><span class="mb-3">Website:</span><span><a href="http://www.indeal-project.eu/project/" alt="project site" target="_blank">http://www.indeal-project.eu/project/</a></span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-infopack mb-1"><span class="mb-2">Infopack:</span><span><a href="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Poster_INDEAL.pdf" alt="project infopack" target="_blank"><img class="img-fluid infopack-image" src="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/themes/ibo/public/images/file-icon.svg" alt="infopack-image" />Download</a></span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-6 col-xl-3 project-wrapper european"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 py-15 pt-0 mb-30 project-card green-border-line" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#modal-399"> <p class="project-title bg-dark p-15 text-light-green text-uppercase">DIY-ACCEL</p> <div class="picture-wrapper d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center" style="min-height:270px;"> <div class="project-dates"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">01/01/2018</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">31/12/2018</span> </div> <img class="project-flag" src="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/themes/ibo/public/images/dspf.jpg" title="project flag" alt="flag"/> <p class="project-title text-light-green text-uppercase text-center font-weight-bold project-inner-title">DIY-ACCEL</p> </div> <div class="card-footer border-0 mb-n3"> <p class="project-call mb-1">DSPF</p> </div> </div>  <div class="modal modal-project" id="modal-399"> <div class="modal-dialog modal-xl"> <div class="modal-content border-0 rounded-0 ">  <div class="modal-header p-30 border-0 rounded-0 bg-dark "> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-8 pl-0"> <h2 class="project-title py-15 mb-10 text-light-green text-uppercase line-height-normal">DIY-ACCEL</h2> <p class="project-subtitle text-white mb-3">Piloting of Danube and Ionian Youth Entrepreneurship Acceleration </p> <p class="project-call text-white mb-1"> </p> </div> </div> <button type="button" class="close text-white m-0 p-0" data-dismiss="modal">×</button> </div>  <div class="modal-body p-30"> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1 row"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-12 text-justify"> <h4 class="section-heading text-dark font-weight-bold">Abstract</h4> <p class="project-abstract mb-1"> <p>Danube and Ionian regions experience high youth unemployment rate.

The project further aims at closing the new digital divide by promoting the development of high quality digital content for higher education linked to both academic and industry needs. Specifically, the project promotes lean and agile learning design. Lean practices will encourage students to design solutions that meet needs while minimizing the deployment of resources. Agile practices will expose students to industry cycles in which design is integrated throughout production processes, as opposed to only in the early stages of production, ensuring that the final product effectively addresses consumer needs.LEAP will pursue these objectives through the design and development of serious games that encourage learners to adopt industry roles, to think critically for addressing community and societal needs through agile engineering solutions, to practice on the application of industrial process management in the context of their higher education curricula, and to take into account environmental responsibility issues in service design and implementation. Recognizing the importance of supporting educators on integrating the proposed innovative learning methods and tools into their teaching practices LEAP will further develop good practice guidelines and instructor support content. The outcomes will be validated in real-life contexts in classrooms in Greece, Portugal, Spain, Estonia, and Norway.</p> </p> </div> <div class="col-lg-4 col-md-12"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 light-shadow green-line"> <div class="card-header bg-dark-green p-15"> <h5 class="mb-0 text-center text-white">Project Details</h5> </div> <div class="card-body"> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between"><span>Type:</span><span class="text-uppercase">european</span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-call"><span>Call:</span><span class="text-right">ERASMUS+ </span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-period"><span>Period:</span> <span class="project-dates text-right"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">01/11/2017</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">31/08/2018</span> </span> </p> <p class="d-flex flex-column project-website mb-3"><span class="mb-3">Website:</span><span><a href="http://leapproject.eu/" alt="project site" target="_blank">http://leapproject.eu/</a></span></p> <p class="d-flex justify-content-between project-infopack mb-1"><span class="mb-2">Infopack:</span><span><a href="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Poster_LEAP.pdf" alt="project infopack" target="_blank"><img class="img-fluid infopack-image" src="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/themes/ibo/public/images/file-icon.svg" alt="infopack-image" />Download</a></span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-6 col-xl-3 project-wrapper european"> <div class="card border-0 rounded-0 py-15 pt-0 mb-30 project-card green-border-line" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#modal-265"> <p class="project-title bg-dark p-15 text-light-green text-uppercase">LANGUAGE GAMES</p> <div class="picture-wrapper d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center" style="min-height:270px;"> <div class="project-dates"> <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">31/12/2015</span> - <span class="project-start-date text-center mb-1">31/12/2017</span> </div> <img class="project-flag" src="https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/themes/ibo/public/images/erasmus.jpg" title="project flag" alt="flag"/> <div class="project-picture bg-norepeat bg-center mb-10 mx-auto w-100" style="background:url('https://ibo.certh.gr/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Language-Games-300x187-e1553438701693.jpg')"></div> </div> <div class="card-footer border-0 mb-n3"> <p class="project-call mb-1">ERASMUS+ Programme-KA2 Strategic Partnerships 2015-1-RO01-KA201-015212</p> </div> </div>  <div class="modal modal-project" id="modal-265"> <div class="modal-dialog modal-xl"> <div class="modal-content border-0 rounded-0 ">  <div class="modal-header p-30 border-0 rounded-0 bg-dark "> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-8 pl-0"> <h2 class="project-title py-15 mb-10 text-light-green text-uppercase line-height-normal">LANGUAGE GAMES</h2> <p class="project-subtitle text-white mb-3">Serious Games for Fostering Multilingualism in Early Childhood Education </p> <p class="project-call text-white mb-1"> </p> </div> </div> <button type="button" class="close text-white m-0 p-0" data-dismiss="modal">×</button> </div>  <div class="modal-body p-30"> <div class="d-flex flex-grow-1 row"> <div class="col-lg-8 col-md-12 text-justify"> <h4 class="section-heading text-dark font-weight-bold">Abstract</h4> <p class="project-abstract mb-1"> <p>Perceptions on multilingualism in early childhood education are shifting. In the past the exposure of a child to two languages at the same time was considered a potential disadvantage in fear of the child not being able to differentiate language structures. Emerging pedagogical theories, however, argue that multilingualism positively affects a child’s cognitive development as a whole, resulting in children becoming more intellectually perceptive and flexible. Researchers further argue that multilingual skill development before the age of 6 may be related to more effective use of brain capacity for multiple language production by early bilinguals. Other research makes connections between lifelong bilingualism and increased cognitive reserve. On a practical level, today’s children are exposed to languages other than their mother tongue in a natural way through sounds and images that are part of everyday life and their everyday environment. This takes place in a natural way through activities that include listening to music on the radio, following images on TV, viewing book texts, playing games, and more. In instructional settings a second language, such as English, is often introduced as early as in pre-school education, although often informally and beyond the requirements of formal school curricula; second language learning is integrated into classroom activities such as drawing, singing, playing, and more. The development of language awareness and capacity in early childhood education can help learners to more effectively build language skills in subsequent school grades in primary education. It contributes to the widening of learning opportunities through access to rich multilingual content in diverse subjects. On the other hand, early language learning can positively contribute to the transition of multilingualism from pre-school to primary education and the building of functional language literacy. LanguageGames aims at the development of second language skills in early childhood learning, spanning pre-primary and early primary education, in an active and experiential manner. The project takes current practices for language skill building a step further by exploiting emerging state-of-the-art serious games-enhanced learning frameworks adapted to the cognitive development level of young learners. The proposed active learning approach will immerse young learners in activities that take inspiration from real-life and familiar school practices offering benefits that include immediate feedback for scaffolding knowledge by better understanding mistakes, motivational factors in the form of game rewards, collaboration opportunities, and the development of problem-solving skills through puzzles. The proposed tools will be designed for classroom deployment, as opposed to standalone use, in the context of wider language learning activities thus enhancing existing school practices in language education. The proposed serious game for language learning will integrate age-appropriate, well accepted syllabic language learning methodologies that help youngsters build word recognition and reproduction capacity. The proposed activities will be validated in real-life contexts in pre-primary and early primary education classrooms in diverse school environments that span Greece, the UK, Estonia, Portugal, and Romania. The wide geographical footprint of deployment will lead on the one hand to the better understanding of the needs of diverse school systems in relation to language education and on the other to the development of good practice recommendations on applying serious games for early language education in the classroom targeting teachers at a European level. In relation to impact, LanguageGames promotes quality early childhood education through the integration of emerging ICT and innovative learning methodologies into classroom practices enhancing learning experiences for young children. It further promotes the strategic deployment of ICT in education through the design, development, and validation of proof-of-concept educational applications that exploit emerging ICT solutions in the context of learning frameworks aiming to address early childhood education needs. By building multilingualism and functional literacy it promotes cultural skills and intercultural dialog, fighting xenophobia and fostering social cohesion. In the longer term, the project promotes the development of basic skills, namely language literacy, for employment, mobility by removing language barriers in education, training, and youth programs, and ET2020 objectives on multilingualism that state as an objective the acquisition of at least 2 languages by learners at an early stage.</p> </p> </div> <div class="col-lg-4 col-md-12"> <div
