On the first quarter of 2023, the LIFE project Innovative Energy (Efficiency) Service Models for Sector Integration via Blockchain (InEExS) organised the 1st series of roundtables, under the leadership of NTUA, to engage relevant stakeholders (energy providers, service providers, local/regional/national authorities, energy agencies, citizen’s associations, building owners, financiers, etc.) and gather feedback on the business model development, the validation of smart services and the replication of results.

Η βιομηχανία αποτελεί σημαντικό καταναλωτή ενέργειας με έντονο οικονομικό και περιβαλλοντικό αντίκτυπο στην Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση αλλά και στην χώρα μας. Ένα από τα βασικά εργαλεία για τη βελτίωση της ενεργειακής απόδοσης στον τομέα της βιομηχανίας είναι οι ενεργειακοί έλεγχοι. Παρά την ευρεία διάδοση των ενεργειακών ελέγχων και τη γνώση για τα πλεονεκτήματα τους, το πραγματικό ποσοστό εφαρμογής μέτρων εξοικονόμησης ενέργειας που προτείνονται από τους ελεγκτές, μετά τη διεξαγωγή των ενεργειακών ελέγχων, παραμένει σχετικά χαμηλό.

The importance of data analysis and tools is clearly established in medical research, especially when considering Real World Data (RWD), where heterogenous and big-data sources need to be harmonised and combined. In MES-CoBraD, the use of such tools is required to extract and perform analyses on various types of RWD (raw imaging data, electroencephalograms, hypnograms, etc) and use the resulting information to perform diagnosis and suggest treatment, to test scientific hypotheses, and, ultimately, to advance medical research.

It has long been predicted that wars would become hybrid, fought in multiple fronts at the same time, mixing conventional and irregular warfare with subversion, disinformation, and cyber-warfare. Following Russia’s invasion, Ukraine is facing constant cyber-attacks against its critical infrastructure.

Based on the project’s work plan, the SPHINX proposed technology has been evaluated in simulated operating conditions in four Health Delivery Organisations across three European countries. The pilot sites are:

Hospitals are becoming the frequent target of cyber-attacks, with very serious consequences in terms both of data leakage, and, even more, of business continuity. The time has come to learn lessons from attacks, plan and invest in implementing effective full spectrum mitigation measures. One way to do this is by leveraging results from European funded research to better prepare your healthcare organisation in 2022, thereby improving preparedness in the face of new attacks.

AI4EU Stakeholder Forum, 9-10 December 2021, Bologna, Italy

I-NERGY will participate in final AEI4EU event on the 9th and 10th December 2021, in Bologna, Italy.

The European Union has set targets for renewable energy sources to make up at least 32% of the energy mix, and for energy savings to reach 32.5%, by 2030. Greece must now design and implement policies and measures in line with these targets.

However, these policies must promote a “just transition” and be socially accepted in order to be effective and robust. Ideally, citizens should take part in the selection of these policies, by being informed and expressing their preferences on the available options.
