CyberKit4SME aims to democratize a kit of cyber security tools and methods enabling SMEs/MEs to: Increase awareness of cybersecurity risks, vulnerabilities and attacks; Monitor and forecast risks; Manage risks using organisational, human and technical security measures with greater confidence; and Collaborate and share information in a collective security and data protection effort. Tools developed in the project are: Semi-automated ISO 27005 threat identification and risk mitigation analysis, using a knowledge base of technical and human/organisational risk factors; Encryption and isolation tools to protect data being stored, processed or exchanged; Security information and event management, using multiple data sources for threat detection and diagnosis, Blockchain tools for SMEs/MEs to share intelligence and incident reports with supply chain partners and with CERTs. CyberKit4SME will make its tools cheaper and more usable by SME/ME, by 1) Exploiting synergies between tools in the kit to simplify the use of each; 2) Sharing information to increase the data available for threat detection and diagnosis at each SME/ME; 3) Embedding intelligence (e.g. machine reasoning and data analytics), to fill gaps in inputs and automate tasks such as risk analysis and security configuration. The project will also use its tools and cyber range demos to train SMEs/MEs to identify their top threats and recognise and address them with greater confidence. Results will be validated by SME/ME in four critical sectors: Finance, Health Care, Energy and Transport. Outcomes include reducing the time/cost of cyber security awareness and protection, simplifying meeting and demonstrating compliance with NIS Directive and GDPR, protecting distributed assets from cloud services to edge devices, and engaging in secure supply chains with larger organisations. The project will also collaborate with related research projects and disseminate widely in the scientific community and in SME networks.

ReGreeneration is a public-private consortium including 9 European cities that will design & experiment together for 4 years Nature Based Solutions to regenerate deprived neighbourhoods for climate resilience, GES reduction and local ecosystem dynamization through participative methods. A set of mixed skills, covering architecture, landscape design, geomatics and digital twins, project value modelling, urbanism, nature & public space facilities, sociology, economics will be deployed in different projects in Paris (FR), Barcelona (ES), Alverca (PT), Bucharest (RO), followed by replicators located in Roma (IT), Gent (BE), Ljubljana (SL), Segrate (IT), Lappeeranta (FI). Projects are complementary and will contribute to create a replicable knowledge on a large set of cities’ challenges: - How to regenerate quality of life, health and attractiveness in marginalized areas (Bucharest, Paris) - How to capture carbon, create freshness Islands, preserve biodiversity, make a better usage of water, develop low carbon mobility & continuity, prepare resilience to stressed weather events (Alverca, Barcelona, Paris) - How to educate and make local actors (inhabitants, municipality agents, local businesses, political authorities) participate to design & maintain the green areas created ? (the nine cities) - How to analyze the diversity of local contexts to choose the right best practices to replicate in a european territory, and define the required investment & governance model ? (Roma, Gent, Ljubljana, Segrate, Lappeeranta) The knowledge to successfully create for meeting these challenges will focus on some key concepts: 1) Creation of an in-depth territory analysis unifying multiple planning domains and able to simulate evolution scenarios; 2) Extensive use of 15 Mn methodology and pedestrian/green mobility focus to support life quality and impacts analysis; 3) Permanent integration of local climate resilience challenges at each key milestones of the project.

The Europlanet 2020 Research Infrastructure (EPN2020-RI) will address key scientific and technological challenges facing modern planetary science by providing open access to state-of-the-art research data, models and facilities across the European Research Area. Its Transnational Access activities will provide access to world-leading laboratory facilities that simulate conditions found on planetary bodies as well as specific analogue field sites for Mars, Europa and Titan. Its Virtual Access activities will make available the diverse datasets and visualisation tools needed for comparing and understanding planetary environments in the Solar System and beyond. By providing the underpinning facilities that European planetary scientists need to conduct their research, EPN2020-RI will create cooperation and effective synergies between its different components: space exploration, ground-based observations, laboratory and field experiments, numerical modelling, and technology. EPN2020-RI builds on the foundations of successful FP6 and FP7 Europlanet programmes that established the ‘Europlanet brand’ and built structures that will be used in the Networking Activities of EPN2020-RI to coordinate the European planetary science community’s research. It will disseminate its results to a wide range of stakeholders including industry, policy makers and, crucially, both the wider public and the next generation of researchers and opinion formers, now in education. As an Advanced Infrastructure we place particular emphasis on widening the participation of previously under-represented research communities and stakeholders. We will include new countries and Inclusiveness Member States, via workshops, team meetings, and personnel exchanges, to broaden/widen/expand and improve the scientific and innovation impact of the infrastructure. EPN2020-RI will therefore build a truly pan-European community that shares common goals, facilities, personnel, data and IP across national boundaries

The overall vision is to operationalise energy efficiency first principle in the practical context of buildings, towards the decarbonisation of the EU building stock, through: Electrified low-carbon technologies such as heat pumps for the electrification of the building thermal energy demand; Integration of RES & storage; Building digitalisation and intelligence with smart energy management systems. To achieve the ‘META BUILD of the building sector’, we will develop and demonstrate at TRL 6-8 highly cost-effective, integrated and replicable solutions (i.e. Heat Pumps coupled with RES and ES systems) for electrifying thermal energy demand in buildings. Social acceptance and strict adherence to energy efficiency measures will be ensured to promote a sustainable, efficient energy use and an affordable pathway to decarbonise the building-sector heating. A holistic approach addresses challenges throughout the building life cycle, including product manufacturing, energy solution design and engineering, construction, renovation, operation, and maintenance. META BUILD will deliver: KPI-driven assessment methodology & LCA analysis on building electrification; Decarbonisation as a service decision support tool; sound Business Models combined with energy efficiency and electrification; Advanced HP technologies, PVTs & other RES solutions, thermal & second-life battery storage systems; Interoperable framework for electrified ready buildings; Energy management services for RT-monitoring & performance analytics; Demand response, grid interaction & flexibility planning tools; Pro-active maintenance & controls services; Digital Twins for maintaining/enhancing the buildings’ performance; Blueprints & policy recommendations for replication & scalability. Focus will be given on both construction and renovation phases of a building, while META BUILD solutions will be demonstrated and replicated in different types of buildings including 6 Front Runners and 7 Replication Multipliers.
