Enabling Positive Energy Districts through a Planning and Management Digital Twin

ExPEDite-project aims at Enabling Positive Energy Districts (PED) through a Planning and Management Digital Twin. PEDs are energy efficient and energy-flexible urban areas, that produce net zero greenhouse gas emission and actively manage an annual local or regional surplus production of renewable energy. To support and accelerate the development of PEDs, the ExPEDite project aims to create and deploy a novel Digital Twin for real-time monitoring, visualization, and management of district-level energy flow.

Interacting network of intelligence and securIty practitioners with industry and academia actors

NOTIONES brings together academia and IT-industry with intelligence community and law enforcement. The goal is to facilitate dialogue about new innovations that could be utilized by the intelligence practitioners. Robust and innovative intelligence and security technological assets can heavily contribute to the early detection of enablers of terrorism. But how can security and intelligence practitioners benefit of these assets? And what assets in particular? First of all, they need monitoring the results of academic research and industrial innovation, and then, recommending the actions to be followed by academia and industry to address these results towards an implementation useful to fight against terrorism. The output recommendations will be synthesized into specifications that can be provided to industry and academy across Europe, providing tangible benefits to those organisations and individuals engaged in intelligence, security and related work. The results of the NOTIONES project will be presented to the broad intelligence community and will contribute to the definition of further security and intelligence research.

ARCSAR - Arctic and North Atlantic Security and Emergency Preparedness Network

ARCSAR is a five-year project funded by the EU Horizon2020 Research and Innovation Programme. The project is lead by Joint Rescue Coordination Center Northern Norway (JRCC NN) including 21 partners from 13 differents countries. The ARCSAR network will address the Arctic and North-Atlantic (ANA) region, preparing to cope with the Security and safety threats that will result from increased commercial activity in the region including traffic through the Northern passages, cruise traffic, and offshore oil and gas activity. This project will establish the first formal Arctic and North Atlantic Security and Emergency Preparedness Network. The network will be primarily for professional security and emergency response practitioners operating in the Arctic and the North-Atlantic region.
