Published on | 1 year ago

Programmes Digital, Industry & Space Defence EDF

EPIIC project aims at tackling the huge challenges of the future air warfare and the collaborative combat by identifying, breeding and assessing highly innovative technologies and disruptive interactive modalities to be integrated to future fighter cockpits. Tomorrow, the presence of the man on board will be justified by his creativity, his ability to decide in uncertainty, under strong time constraints, with or without assistance, but also to recover from an unexpected technical failure.

The cockpit is where the pilot interacts with the system. It must be designed to get the job done quickly, efficiently and intuitively. The cockpit must also be capable of understanding the pilot's physiological, cognitive and emotional state, for example to anticipate phenomena impacting mission performance or flight safety (tunnelling, decision-making capacity).

Two thematic have been emphasised that will host subject to be proposed to the community through open-innovation calls: the crew monitoring and the innovative interaction modalities.

WHO CAN PARTICIPATE: This open call for innovation is open to a wide range of participants, including: Laboratories, Research Institutes, Startups, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), Large Companies.

YoPA – Youth-centered participatory action for a healthy lifestyle

The YoPA project, ‘a youth-centred preventive action approach towards co-created implementation of socially and physically activating environmental interventions’ obtained funding from Horizon Europe’s Health Cluster. The project addresses the multifaceted challenges of physical inactivity and health inequalities through a unique participatory approach. The project places teenagers between 12 and 18 years old in vulnerable situations at the forefront of the intervention process. The Institute of Tropical Medicine is a partner in the project and will conduct a Realist Evaluation to understand how youth co-creation contributes to improved adolescent health and well-being in four cities in Denmark, Netherlands, Nigeria and South Africa.  By integrating its results and sharing its approach in an open access Toolbox, ITM aims to contribute to fostering sustainable, youth-led solutions for healthier urban environments.
