We are elaborating on previous training sessions and we will focus on data integration. On top of the multiple lines of evidence, we will show how to do it and what the data means when you are integrating them. So we are laying some groundwork for the future in terms of how professionals will look to get this information. Really valuable.

Just completed the 'Scientific and Technological Innovation for BRI countries' seminar.

The focus on the students is what counts in an education programme. ADF-VDMA programme in Nigeria!

⚡️open call for young academics⚡️ What are the most relevant sustainable urban transition strategies, actions, and programs? How to develop integrated tools and approaches of action facing these challenges? How does the built environment and urban morphology impact on the climate and vice versa? What are the main trends related to sustainable urban mobility and how are they integrated into transport planning and the city fabric? How are energy transition and climate-neutrality tackled in urban research and discourse, and what is the role of the economy in incentivizing the transition? How can planning become a health and well-being generator so as to help people thrive in urban environments? #AESOP #opencall #urbantransition #urbanenergy #dastu Milan March 2024 Politecnico di Milano Dastu

Did you know that we can make methanol by capturing CO2 from biogas plants, while making biomethane in the process? This is what Horizon UP-TO-ME is all about and LAT/AUTh Laboratory of Applied Thermodynamics Aristotle University Thessaloniki is excited to be a part of this innovative project.

Two days of a full program in Dresden: The #ICDLI Technical Commission now met in the eastern German city in the Institut für Holztechnologie Dresden gemeinnützige GmbH (IHD) to exchange current information and innovations in the HPL world. In addition to specific projects - such as the work on a European HPL label on quality and sustainability - the conference focused primarily on the topics of sustainability and #HPL, new technical developments, chemical regulation and a restart of the #HPLAcademy (the training programme of the HPL manufacturers). One aspect that is set to play a greater role in the association's work in the future is addressing political stakeholders to a greater extent.   Of course, personal exchange during breaks and at dinner was also a must. The next meeting of the ICDLI Technical Commission will take place in Frankfurt am Main/Germany at the end of November. Furthermore, it was nice to see that a few new faces and member companies enriched the meeting.   Event announcement: Another important agenda point in Dresden was the upcoming annual ICDLI European HPL Summit, taking place in October - this time in the Portuguese city of Porto. Participants can expect a varied program on the topics of market development, design trends, and sustainability. Many thanks to Lars Blüthgen for being a wonderful host! #ICDLI #HPL #CircularEconomy #environment #sustainability #technology #networking

The cutting edge of AI.

Thanks a lot to the Green Deal Data Space | GREAT Project for the privilege to add my voice to this panel and milestone event! Here is a summary of my contributions, related to achieving interoperability in the Green Deal Data Space: ❓ Interoperability is a big challenge in data spaces, at all levels. It requires big investments and interoperability of infrastructures, semantics, and data at wide scale proofs a challenge. In many cases the end users don't see the outcomes of these efforts. 🗨 Many users will only see something if there is interoperability. The only reason why I can, pull in any map service is due to standards and interoperability. What is true is that existing users often feel they do not benefit from efforts that enable new user groups to use existing data. In other words, they are sceptical of "interoperability for the others". By harmonising data, we perform a proper quality assurance of the as-is data for the first time, and we often fix thousands of errors in that as-is data. This is something that users of as-is data will also profit from. ❓ Can you tell us if interoperability is a pathway for usability and adoption? 🗨 You can also revert the question to get an answer: Would you consider using a data set that is not documented, sometimes not accessible, and encoded in a weird proprietary format? My experience is that everybody expects interoperability, to easily find and access the data, read it, and process it. The three main enablers of making this workare: ➡ Accessible, understandable Documentation ➡ Defined semantics and conceptual models ➡ Open Formats and Open API specifications ❓ How can we justify the investments? 🗨 We can look at the alternatives. It is a bit like in reducing GHG emissions vs. adapting to the consequences of those same emissions. Just last week, the Potsdam Institute for Climate Research has published a study that it is about 6 times cheaper to reduce emissions than to adapt to climate change. The alternative to sharing interoperable, re-useable data to enable the Green Deal is very similar: Data needs to be collected and processed again, by every actor by themselves. This will cause delays in working towards achieving the Green Deal objectives, and it will cause costs. What is difficult is agreeing on things like common semantics. The actual costs of achieving interoperability, once a community has agreed, don't have to be high and can be phased. We have shown that it is possible to harmonise data sets at low cost while achieving high quality thousands of times. I think the key point to achieve data interoperability efficiently is to think about synergies across domains, processes and existing standards. Don't reinvent, but rather, connect & map what is there, and then fill in gaps as really required by high value use cases. In a GDDS, we will need to strike a balance, with all actors, including the data users, comitting and pitching in, to achieve our goals.
