✅ The Research and Innovation Symposium for European Security and Defence (RISE-SD 2024), organized by the M4D Group of ITI-CERTH, has been successfully completed! 👥 100 participants, 30 co-organising projects showcasing their results in Booths or Stands in the exhibition space, panels, and workshops gave us two days full of lively discussions, fruitful meetings, and valuable insights!   📊 Moreover, two very interesting keynote talks were given by Mr. Giannis Skiadaresis (DG HOME) on “Research & Innovation as a driver for impactful security policy” & by Dr. Paola Piccinini (JRC) on “JRC activities in the area of Security and Defence”. 👏 Special thanks to all the co-organising projects presenters, and participants for their decisive contribution to the success of the conference!

🌱 Exciting News! 🌱 When something ends, a new beginning arises! I'm excited to once again coordinate an EU project in Agriculture 4.0! The Green Deal PestNu Project, successfully finalised on September 30th, achieved a significant impact: 11 enabled product prototypes, 51 publications (26 in scientific journals and 25 in conference proceedings- all with DOIs), and more others 😊 Now, as of October 1st, we're embarking on a new journey with the Soil Mission project E-SPFdigit, which will leverage emerging digital tools and robotic systems to detect chemical contaminants, nutrients, and biological stressors in soil. 💡Stay tuned over the next 3 years — the results will surely impress! #PestNu #ESPFdigit #GreenDeal #SoilMission #ICT #Materials #3Dprinting

How ofter do you have the chance to work outdoors? In the case of our team, too few to mention! So it was a pleasure for our own Konstantinos Karystinakis to join along two field crews on the same day: ➡️ First, he tagged along with the team of the Greek National Biotope/Wetlands Center (EKBY) of the Goulandris Natural History Museum on their field trip to Lake Sfikia! CDXi solutions is collaborating with EKBY for in-situ data in specific reservoirs to be used for the calibration of our #AI-based algorithms for #WaterQuality monitoring of inland water resources. A big shout out to Ms Vasiliki Tsiaousi, Triantafyllia Perivolioti, Dimitra Kemitzoglou and the whole EKBY team! ➡️ Then, he joined the team of ACCELIGENCE LTD for low altitude flights with their custom-built (beast) UAV on the same lake. CDXi solutions is working with ACCELIGENCE LTD for UAV imagery to be used for #multimodal fusion for our water quality algorithms. A big shout out to Pantelis Velanas, Spyros Velanas and the whole team involved. These activities are part of our incubation proposal to expand company's offering in the field of water quality monitoring and are funded by ESA BIC Greece! #CDXi #DataFusion #DeepTech #Innovation #StartUpJourney

Last September 5th 2024, the Council of Europe made history by signing the first-ever legally binding international treaty concerning #AI alignment with #HumanRights 🙍♀️ 👥 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑭𝒓𝒂𝒎𝒆𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌 𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒐𝒏 𝑨𝒓𝒕𝒊𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝑰𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆 The Convention aligns seamlessly with the #AIAct, the world's first comprehensive AI regulation. It adopts a nuanced, risk-based approach for assessing and regulating AI systems potentially harmful for citizen’s fundamental rights, democracy, and the rule of law 🤖 ⚖ Find out more on fundamental principles and key features hereunder⤵ 🗞 https://lnkd.in/dfHmtdyR 📬 Subscribe to our newsletter to stay in the loop & receive all the latest updates, event news, and opportunities to be involved. 📩 https://lnkd.in/e2NQk7WG EU Digital & Tech | EU Science, Research and Innovation | Centre for Research & Technology Hellas (CERTH) | Universidad Politécnica de Madrid | The Lisbon Council | European Research Executive Agency (REA) | EU AI Act
