Big data is becoming a hype that is going to completely redefine industries within very traditional sectors like agriculture, food and beauty. The emergence of niche big data companies like Enolytics (“bringing big data insights to the wine industry”) is threatening to disrupt these industries against the interests of the EU.

BigDataGrapes wants to build upon the rich historical, cultural and artisan heritage of Europe in order to ...

The VESSEDIA project will bring safety and security to many new software applications and devices. In the fast evolving world we live in, the Internet has brought many benefits to individuals, organisations and industries. With the capabilities offered now (such as IPv6) to connect billions of devices and therefore humans together, the Internet brings new threats to the software developers and VESSEDIA will allow connected applications to be ...

One goal of the study is to develop tools and activities to trigger energy-awareness with "K-12" audiences. The envisaged age group is 10-14 year: at younger ages, kids are naturally drawn to technology; somewhere in the period of 10-14 years of age, they seem to lose interest, technology is not "cool" anymore. Once through this stage, the later study interest is more or less made.

The goal is also to further enlarge KIC ...

Access to necessary information, communication with other rescuers and stakeholders as well as the availability of resources are key factors in minimizing damage and loss of life.

The protection of critical infrastructures increasingly demands solutions which support incident detection and management at the levels of individual CI, across CIs which are depending on each other, and across borders. An approach is required which really integrates functionalities across all these levels. Cooperation of privately operated CIs and public bodies (governments and EU) is difficult but mandatory. After about 10 years of analysis ...

The FutureID project builds a comprehensive, flexible, privacy-aware and ubiquitously usable identity management infrastructure for Europe, which integrates existing eID technology and trust infrastructures, emerging federated identity management services and modern credential technologies to provide a user-centric system for the trustworthy and accountable management of identity claims.

Systems software such as operating system kernels, hypervisors, database engines, web servers and language run-times forms the foundation of any modern computer system. It is extremely complex and hard to get right, with bugs making whole services unavailable or opening the doors of seemingly secure systems to viruses and criminals. Ensuring its reliability is thus imperative for building future trustworthy ICT infrastructures.
