A new CEN Workshop is being established to build upon the innovative outcomes of the R&I project RobétArmé, funded under the Horizon Europe programme. Targeting a step-change in Construction 4.0., the RoBétArmé architecture follows the three shotcrete application phases (inspection and metal printing, construction repair and surface finishing) aiming at automatizing particularly laborious construction tasks of shotcrete application through a highly digitalized robotics solution, which is robust and versatile enough to perform autonomous shotcreting in diverse construction environments e.g. tunnels, buildings, bridges, retaining walls, etc.
A new CENELEC Workshop is being established that will bring focus to the discussion on wind energy and Europe’s carbon reduction goals. The project’s vision is to provide clarity in the design requirements for offshore wind turbines.
A new CEN Workshop is being established entitled “Ultrasound-assisted production of lignin nanoparticles”. This Workshop arises from the Horizon 2020 BIOMAC project (European Sustainable BIO-based nanoMAterials Community). The project seeks to establish an Open Innovation Test Bed (IOTB), a true collaborative ecosystem where technologies and solutions utilising nano-enabled bio-based materials (NBMs) will be upscaled and prepared for market applications.
A new CEN Workshop is being established entitled “Reference Architecture for AI solutions’ application within process industry – the EU project s-X-AIPI experience”. This Workshop arises from the Horizon 2020 s-X-AIPI project (self-X Artificial Intelligence for European Process Industry digital transformation). The s-X-AIPI project endeavour is to research, develop, test, and validate a bespoke suite of trustworthy self-X AI technologies tailored for process industries. This initiative aims to bridge the gap between AI capabilities and traditional automation processes, ensuring that AI tools are both accessible and effective across various industrial applications.
A new CEN Workshop is being established to build upon the innovative outcomes of the VARCITIES European Project (VISIONARY NATURE BASED ACTIONS FOR HEALTH, WELLBEING & RESILIENCE IN CITIES). The project’s vision is to implement visionary solutions in cities, creating sustainable models aimed at improving the health and well-being of citizens facing diverse climatic conditions and urban challenges.
