Active Projects
CLIMB aims to develop the next generation of bionic limbs, featuring an unprecedented degree of intelligence through cloud connectivity and 5G technology. By leveraging the high throughput and low latency of 5G networks, cloud-connected bionic limbs will offer more reliable, responsive, and intuitive user experiences. The interdisciplinary nature of the project team, combined with cutting-edge technology, provides an enormous potential to revolutionize assistive robotics and create effective solutions for individuals with disabilities.

I3LUNG is a European project funded under the framework of the H2020 call “Ensuring access to innovative, sustainable and high-quality health care”. Our consortium gathers 16 partners located worldwide characterized by different expertise, with the common goal of providing better assistance and individualize treatment for patients affected by metastatic lung cancer. The project will set up a global platform comprising data from 2 000 patients for AI models validation; moreover, it will collect multi-omics data from 200 NSCLC patients for information integration and application in leading immunotherapy decisions.

CLEVER proposes a series of innovations in hardware accelerators, design stack, and middleware software that revolutionize the ability of edge computing platforms to operate federatedly, leveraging sparse resources that are coordinated to create a powerful swarm of resources. CLEVER technologies will support the deep edge computing paradigm, moving computing services closer to the end user or the source of the data to reduce power consumption, reduce capacity requirements, and latency for mission critical applications.

QUARC will train 8 Doctoral Candidates (DCs) through an outstanding training program that includes coordinated research in different cryptography areas, focusing on implementation. QUARC is an industrial doctorate, and besides a 50% of their time located in an industrial partner, each DC will be also exposed to a set of training initiatives in the areas of relevance for industry and receive the support of an external advisory board made out of experts in the field. QUARC establishes a well-balances, interdisciplinary, intersectoral and innovative training network, with an overarching theme of quality and edginess - research as a training tool to push the current state-of-the-art in PQC.

The project aims is to provide a framework for application of gamification to programming education, including the specifications, collection of gamified exercises and software. The project aims at increasing the educational potential of the FGPE framework by enhancing its usability for both students and teachers, by (1) enabling the automatic generation of gamified programming exercises, (2) enabling the effective use of the FGPE programming learning environment on mobile devices which are, for some period, disconnected from the Internet, (3) developing a full-fledged open online course for a popular programming language.
