We are interested in joining a competitive consortium as task owners. Our primary expertise is in the broad digital domain, and we are interested in researching innovative and disruptive digital services, such as those harnessing sensors, UAVs, and AI.
For this particular call, we are deeply committed to adopting a transdisciplinary approach. Thus, we are interested in harnessing citizen and participatory science as a means of fostering a sense of ownership in both problem definition and its resolution.
Our expertise can be successfully applied in any of the four thematic areas.
Please see the following for an indication of our research themes:
