DATAWiSE will develop and test building and building portfolio management tools, leveraging cross-sectoral lifecycle data on the basis of an open, secure, interoperable, and scalable framework. Utilizing cutting-edge artificial intelligence and advanced analytics, the methodology will integrate data from a variety of sources to provide a holistic understanding of building operations. DATAWiSE will design and implement a scalable data architecture that ensures data quality, privacy, interoperability, and sharing, and a Data Sharing Platform that will not only ensure interoperability and scalability but will also prioritize data sovereignty to secure data handling and preserve ownership control. DATAWiSE will develop: i) a Data-driven Building Performance Management (DBPM) toolkit which will harness Building Information Modeling (BIM) data in conjunction with advanced data mining techniques through a digital twin. ii) An AI-enhanced Lifecycle Data-driven Decision Support (LD2S) toolkit. This will serve as a versatile solution for well-informed decision-making across planning, renovation, and sustainability domains. Through these tools, the project will offer a suite of added-value services aimed at optimizing building management in various aspects: Electrical and Thermal Flexibility Management; AI-Powered Energy Forecasting and Optimization; Smart Sustainability & Comfort Balancing for Building Occupants; Adaptive Building Risk & Resilience Assessment; Circular Lifecycle Assessment; Predictive Maintenance; Integrated Sustainability Performance Management; Smart Readiness Assessment. Besides technological innovation, the project also incorporates a supportive market and policy framework designed to offer evidence-based pathways for widespread adoption and commercialization.

PRUDENT aspires to change the way agriculture and forestry systems currently operate and to accelerate the transition to sustainable agriculture and forestry practices and smart farming technologies. The project will identify and evaluate the most effective green nudges, in the context of appropriate behavioural and experimental settings, that can enable farmer/forester behavioural change to more sustainable agriculture and forestry. Nudges will be also tested in natural contexts to evaluate the interactive effect of nudges with actual policy changes in the transition to sustainability. Innovative nudging tools, in the form of web/mobile apps, will be employed to boost farmer/forester self-regulatory capacity and enhance the durability of nudging effects. Four different systems, representing major farming and forestry systems in Europe (arable crops [wheat], perennial crops [grapevines, apples, olives], livestock [bovines] and forests [boreal forests]) in various EU regions (Northern, Southern, and Central Europe) will be studied to account for the heterogeneity of farming/forestry systems and contexts in the EU. The behavioural insights are used to develop transformative pathways, via social innovations, business models and policy recommendations, to encourage transition to fair, healthy and environmentally-friendly agriculture and forestry systems. PRUDENT will provide a set of social innovations and business models establishing roadmaps for a shift towards sustainable agriculture and forestry and will develop a series of policy recommendations and tools to foster behaviourally informed policy design and implementation. Throughout the project's lifespan, multiple value chain actors, at various levels of society, will actively participate in co-creation activities to establish a mutual understanding of the benefits and bottlenecks of the value chain, as well as effective transformation pathways to change.

dRural overall goal it to co-develop and implement a digital solution that delivers multiple services to rural citizens while creating opportunities economic growth and quality of life improvements. Then, to ensure the successful exploitation and sustainability after the project’s lifetime and its replication in other European territories. As such, our aspiration is to become the service marketplace of reference for European rural areas. dRural will build a service network for rural areas and communities based on four rural regions of Europe, namely: Extremadura (ES), Dubrovnik-Neretva County (HR) and Region Gelderland Midden (NL). Each of these settings are called regional demonstrators. The solution building will follow agile methodologies and ensure end-users co-creation and validation in each regional demonstrator. Besides, dRural will be developed with a 'by-design' approach to ethics, privacy, and data protection. An internet coverage optimization in the demonstrators will be done to guarantee a smooth deployment. Then, the solution will be set up in each region, guaranteeing its personalization and customization to the regional needs, and integrating with the local service providers. In parallel, an ecosystem of relevant players surrounding the dRural solution will be created in each region by identifying the key stakeholders, current problems and designing a value proposition for each of them. The ecosystem building exercise will be supported by an open call in each demonstrator leveraging financial support to third parties to incentivize the solution take up and expand the ecosystem of players involved. This will offer opportunities for entrepreneurs by promoting new market openings allowing also smaller and newer players to capture value. An evaluation of usage and impacts will be performed to ensure on-going support in the region after the project completionend.

The growing introduction of automated or even autonomous machinery on farms makes the need for good quality data more critical. Moreover, the demand is increasing to log the outputs of those machines for analysis, documentation and compliance. However, current datafiles sent to, or retrieved from machinery lack quality standards. They cannot be certified because any guarantee on the integrity of the used data and workflow is missing. HASHTAG is therefore leveraging space assets and services to safeguard the reliability of data ensuring trusted application and governance. Within a period of two years, three building blocks will be developed to proof our concept: 1. Standardising protocols, logging and verifying prescribed tasks using machine data flows to assure as-applied maps are trustworthy. 2. Standardising the processing of high quality EO data from Copernicus into prescription maps. 3. Using Galileo’s High Accuracy Service and Navigation Message Authenticator in a GNSS receiver to provide trusted and accurate machine positioning. Integrating these components will result in a workflow capable of generating a transparant and authenticated data chain of EO data to as-applied maps. This is relevant for current reality, where food production and processing are international businesses with ingredients from around the world, governed by food standards and environmental regulations. Our solution, deploying space assets, can be used anywhere in the world, hence leveraging European knowledge and expertise to enable the next level of sustainable and regenerative farming. International partners from Serbia are included and use cases in Brazil, Ukraine and Indonesia will be explored. HASHTAG will reach out to standardisation initiatives in agritech to promote its results and increase impacts. The specific advantages that the European space infrastructure offer, are important to develop globally acceptable and affordable private and public uptake of our space assets.

The BIOS MATER aims to develop and demonstrate advanced bio-based construction products and building elements with tailored functional properties such as durability, fire resistance, water barriers, acoustic and thermal insulation, lightweight structure, mechanical strength, and antimicrobial features, ensuring safety and sustainability. At the core of the concept are the four Production routes which are built around four pillars. Specifically: Production route A will focus on the development of bio-based core product and sandwich structure for flooring applications, Production route B will focus on the development of bio-based wall panels and flooring tiles, Production route C will focus on the development of fiber reinforced bio-resin composite panels applied as exterior façade cladding panels and Production route D will focus on the development of biodegradable and plantable bio-based tiles from foams applied as drywalls panels. Moreover, the four pillars are: Pillar 1. Innovation in bio-based construction and building product development; Pillar 2. Health, safety, and environmental impact through Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD), Pillar 3. Circular economy integration and scalability and Pillar: 4 Driving market adoption of bio-based products through digital transparency, stakeholder engagement, and social acceptability. Key elements include life cycle assessments (LCA), circularity, and SSbD assessments. BIOS MATER will test and demonstrate the compatibility of these products with existing construction practices and regulatory frameworks at the controlled real-world application of a DEMOpark. The project also incorporates stakeholder engagement, training, and awareness programs, with 22 partners from 10 EU countries working together to achieve these goals across 7 work packages.
