Green.Dat.AI – Energy-efficient AI-ready Data Spaces
GREEN.DAT.AI aims to channel the potential of AI towards the goals of the European Green Deal, by developing novel Energy-Efficient Large-Scale Data Analytics Services, ready-to-use in industrial AI-based systems, while reducing the environmental impact of data management processes. GREEN.DAT.AI will demonstrate the efficiencies of the new analytics services in four industries (Smart Energy, Smart Agriculture/Agri-food, Smart Mobility, Smart Banking) and six different application scenarios, leveraging the use of European Data Spaces. The ambition is to exploit mature (TRL5 or higher) solutions already developed in recent H2020 projects and deliver an efficient, massively distributed, open-source, green, AI/FL – ready platform, and a validated go-to-market TRL7/8 Toolbox for AI-ready Data Spaces. The services will cover AI-enabled data enrichment, Incentive mechanisms for Data Sharing, Synthetic Data Generation, Large-scale learning at the Edge/Fog, Federated & Auto ML at the edge/fog, Explainable AI/Feature Learning with Privacy Preservation, Federated & Automatic Transfer Learning, Adaptive FL for Digital Twin Applications, Automated IoT event-based change detection/ forecasting. The GREEN.DAT.AI Consortium consists of a multidisciplinary group of 17 partners from 10 different countries (and one associated party), well balanced in terms of expertise.

EMERALDS – Extreme-scale Urban Mobility Data Analytics as a Service
EMERALDS’s vision is to design, develop and create an urban data-oriented Mobility Analytics as a Service (MAaaS) toolset, consisting of the so-called ‘emeralds’ services, compiled in a proof-of-concept prototype, capable of exploiting the untapped potential of extreme urban mobility data. The toolset will enable the stakeholders of the urban mobility ecosystem to collect and manage ubiquitous spatio- temporal data of high-volume, high-velocity and of high-variety, analyse them both in online and offline settings, import them to real-time responsive AI/ML algorithms and visualize results in interactive dashboards, whilst implementing privacy preservation techniques at all data modalities and at all levels of its architecture. The toolset will offer advanced capabilities in data mining (searching and processing) of large amounts and varieties of urban mobility data and its efficiency will be assessed, validated and demonstrated in three TRL5 pilot use cases (by following a co-development approach with mobility and city stakeholders to improve decision making in urban smart city environments), and deployed/showcased in two early adopters’ data-driven TRL6 applications (by integrating the new services to existing systems to improve commercial offerings).

MobiSpaces, New Data Spaces for Green Mobility
Mobility in the urban and maritime domains hugely impacts the global economy, generating data at high rates from an increasing number of moving objects. Management of the complete lifecycle of such data implies that trustworthy and privacy-preserving infrastructures need to be put in place, so that reliable and secure data operations can be provided. Meanwhile, the mobility data exploitation still has a wide potential due to the emerging applications and the environmental footprint caused by mobility.
From September 2022 to August 2025, the brand new Horizon Europe project MobiSpaces will be developing effective data governance solutions to exploit the huge data volumes produced in secure and trustworthy digital infrastructures to enable data sharing, reuse and interoperability using standardised protocols across different organisations and stakeholders.

VesselAI – Enabling Maritime Digitalization by Extreme-scale Analytics, AI and Digital Twins
VesselAI aims at realising a holistic, beyond the state-of-the-art AI-empowered framework for decision-support models, data analytics and visualisations to build digital twins and maritime applications for a diverse set of cases with high impact, including simulating and predicting vessel behaviour and manoeuvring (including the human factor), ship energy design optimisation, autonomous shipping and fleet intelligence.

OPTIMA – Computational Intelligence Methods for Big Mobility Data
The main objective of this research project is the development of new Computational Intelligence (CI) methodologies, with emphasis on Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), Evolutionary computation (EC) and Swarm Intelligence (SI), which will be inherently designed tο address the particular characteristics of big mobility data, with the aim of improving public transport services and as a result to enhance people life quality and to maximize environmental benefits. This research project aims to design “attractive” for passengers, and simultaneously “efficient” and “economical” public transports. In order to accomplish this, it is necessary to study tasks such as: bus capacity / passenger load prediction, bus arrival time prediction, bus timetable optimization (scheduling), bus predictive maintenance, bus Eco-driving behavior, safety and collision risk on intelligent transportation sy
SoundScapes – A Toolkit for the Analysis and Synthesis of Soundscapes
The goal of the SOUNDSCAPES project is to develop a framework and tools for the design and production of sound scenes and related sound effects and ambiences. To that end, the project develops a suite of Acoustic Scene classification, Audio Event Detection and Audio Scene synthesis tools aiming at: (i) providing a framework and solutions for the cost-efficient production of static and living soundscapes, background sound textures and foreground sound effects with the aid of cutting-edge ICT and (ii) overcoming obstacles that prevent individuals from incorporating high-quality sound scenes and ambiences into their products or services. SOUNDSCAPES relies on cutting-edge machine learning research with an emphasis on deep neural networks and reinforcement learning algorithms to develop solutions that deal with the research challenges of the exciting field of automatic scene analysis and production.

MASTER – Multiple ASpects TrajEctoRy management and analysis
MASTER (Multiple ASpects TrajEctoRy management and analysis) is a project funded under the call H2020-MSCA-RISE-2017 with the objective of forming an international and inter-sectoral network of organisations working on a joint research programme to define new methods to build, manage and analyse multiple aspects semantic trajectories.
