✨ It’s a wrap for WeForming’s first Plenary Meeting! Over the course of two full days, we worked on refining our objectives, making them more tangible, and explored how to enable sustainable cities through a holistic approach that benefits all stakeholders in the #energy ecosystem. The agenda included: 🔸 Breaking down the state-of-the-art review into #iGFBs; 🔸 Outlining stakeholders’ requirements and system specifications; 🔸 Analysing business vs. system use cases; 🔸 Establishing conceptual convergence about iGFBs and the reference architecture; 🔸 Exchanging perspectives on the digital #interoperability framework; 🔸 Assessing the demonstrators’ status (🇱🇺Luxembourg, 🇵🇹Portugal, 🇭🇷Croatia, 🇧🇪Belgium, 🇪🇸Spain, and 🇩🇪Germany). A special word of appreciation goes to our incredible hosts - Grid ONE, #SmartIslandKrk, and FER - and to ZICER - Zagreb Innovation Centre for providing a great meeting venue.

🌐 Wrapping Up the EURMARS Project Living Labs Workshop! 🚀 With the successful conclusion of our #LivingLabs workshop, we consider opportune to reflect on the progress and collaboration achieved over the past few days. From setting up the require infrastructure to conducting valuable exercises based on the established use cases, the whole process has demonstrated our commitment to advancing border management and surveillance through innovation and teamwork. Here's a summary of the key highlights from our workshop: 🔹We kicked off the workshop with the equipment setup and integration of all components of the EURMARS platform. This crucial groundwork laid the foundation for the days ahead, ensuring that we were ready to deliver the planned testing scenarios. 🔹 With our Living Labs fully operational, we engaged in a series of exercises focused on real-time vessel activity. Leveraging a multi-sensor approach, including vessel tracking data, ground-based cameras, UAV cameras, and high-resolution satellite imagery, we collected comprehensive data to enhance border management through the EURMARS digital platform. Throughout the workshop, collaboration among our consortium partners has been at the heart of our success. This achievement wouldn't have been possible without the valuable contributions and collaborative spirit of our whole team. The culmination of this workshop signifies a significant milestone, empowering the EURMARS digital platform with the capability to analyse and visualise data for available sensors, and demonstrating enhanced situation awareness and efficiency in identifying events of interest. Stay tuned for further updates as we persist in harnessing technology and collaboration to elevate standards across the border management domain. Thank you for joining us on this journey towards researching innovative solutions to enable safer and more efficient management of European borders! 🛰️💼 #EURMARS #Project #HorizonEU #LivingLabs #Workshop #Innovation #Collaboration #Research #Technology #Security #Satellite #Sensors #InnovationInAction #Drones #UAV EUROPEAN DYNAMICS AIT Austrian Institute of Technology Bulgarian Defence Institute GEOSYSTEMS HELLAS S.A.
