Research
SAT2Rescue
The SAT2Rescue project aims to strengthen the use of satellite communication by government institutions and nongovernmental organizations, in particular in the areas of response to natural and man-made disasters, optimization of emergency services activities, and telemedicine in humanitarian aid. Infrastructure and services under the GOVSATCOM initiative will be used.
PAVE-SCAN
The project aims to advance EGNSS-based, low-cost sensor technologies and AI-driven software (utilizing machine learning and machine vision) to market readiness (TRL8-9). These solutions will detect, classify, and geo-reference road surface anomalies for cost-effective pavement assessment via participatory detection.
DESIDERATA
DESIDERATA addresses the critical challenge of reducing Substances of Concern (SoCs) in the chemical value chain by advancing the Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) framework in real-world industrial applications. Focusing on flame retardants, surfactants and plasticizers, DESIDERATA aims to develop safer, sustainable alternatives without compromising performance or cost-effectiveness. The project addresses current gaps in the SSbD framework, including data scarcity at low technology readiness levels, undefined safety and environmental criteria, and trade-off management.
SNUG
The SNUG project addresses the urgent need for Zero Emission Buildings (ZEBs) by developing innovative, AI-driven solutions to improve energy efficiency and sustainability throughout the building lifecycle. Buildings account for 40% of Europe’s energy consumption and 36% of greenhouse gas emissions. However, current renovation rates and efforts are insufficient to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. Therefore, SNUG will develop an AI-based Digital Tool Assistant to optimize the selection of advanced thermal insulation materials and designs, ensuring cost-effective and low-carbon solutions tailored to different building types and climates.

Collaborative platforms
Advanced materials hold significant potential to create better products and production processes. Yet realising their promise remains challenging: historically it has taken 15 to 20 years from discovery to deployment of new materials in products.

Carbon Management
The bioeconomy brings opportunities for economic growth while tackling climate change. Fossil carbon resources can be replaced by bio-based carbon resources, especially biomass. To allow these solutions to be scaled up without threats to biodiversity and the environment, it is necessary to develop the bioeconomy as a circular economy.
