On the 24th and 25th of May we had the pleasure to host a physical meeting for REBEL project here, at the University of Cyprus campus in Nicosia, Cyprus.

The plan was to go over our evaluation framework, agree about the specifics for the upcoming MOOC, as well as discuss our dissemination and upcoming reports.

And that we did!

Additionally, the partners, had the chance to learn about, exchange ideas with, and become inspired by the D-COLLAB project partners and other related projects our lab is currently participating in.

SEIT Research Laboratory (Software Engineering and Internet Technologies Laboratory) of the Computer Science department of the University of Cyprus participates in the Digi-Sporting project, started in September 2019, with a duration of 30 months.

Digi-Sporting funded through the Erasmus + KA203 – Strategic Partnerships for Higher Education Call 2019, aims to develop a guide of good practices for the effective incorporation of technology in sports clubs and academies, as well as the creation of a competitive profile of Sports Technologist and a postgraduate training package. The project code is 2019-1-ES01-KA203-06550

What is DIGI-SPORTING general aim?

Creating, developing and transferring the professional profile of technologist-analyst (postgraduate training – higher degree) in the field of sports sciences with the aim that sport academies and clubs can fully explore the opportunities offered by digital transformation.

What are DIGI-SPORTING specific aims?

• Address the need to break the barriers of fear of technology and the change that the introduction of new IT tools may imply.
• Expand the training offer in technological skills in the world of sports, for personal and professional performance, tackling skills gaps and mismatches to avoid wasting much of the potential and possibilities offered by the digital transformation.
• Create educational contents, by promoting interdisciplinary cooperation in technology and sports science, that can be adapted to different job positions, so that everyone learns what their professional profiles need, in order to foster employability.

The consortium for this project is made up of nine organizations that will ensure the quality of the project in all its phases, assuming roles in the analysis of the environment, fieldwork, training, technological development or dissemination of the activities.

Check out post about Digi-Sporting Project where our Lab participates!A TPM and a multiplier event was organized in Toledo, Spain from 2/6/2022-3/6/2022 where our lab was physically present.

Our lab participated in another physical meeting about the EU funded Erasmus+ project, Dig-IT on 31/05/2022 – 01/06/2022! This was the last TPM meeting and took place at L-Università ta’ Malta.

Dig-IT is a project that explore how EU universities, and the healthcare industry can collaborate to benefit from international networks that support educators to develop confidence and skills to use emerging technologies to enhance learning opportunities.

In the meeting, partners discussed the last tasks needed to completed and about future work since we are approaching the end of the project!

The European project BRIGHTS: “Bringing HEIs Towards Sustainability“, held its Kick-Off Translational Project Meeting, with the physical presence of the partners on the 19th and 20th of May, 2022 at University of Pavia, Italy.

It was a very productive Kick-Off Meeting, allowed the consortium to meet up for the very first time for the #ErasmusPlus #BRIGHTS project.

From our Mr. Stylianos Argyrou participated.

The first Debate event in the context of the “Rural Plus” Erasmus+ Project was organised on the 10th of May, at 18:00, by the SEIT Lab, UCY, in Cyprus.

The event was held in a blended manner: some participants joined us at the premises of the University Campus, while others joined online through zoom.

The debate was held in the format of a focus group. From UCY, the hosts Evangelia Vanezi and Constantinos Tefkros Loizou were posing specific questions about the topic of Sustainability in Rural Areas. Five selected participants, two members of the communities councils, and three representatives of the youth of rural areas comprised our panel of experts:

Andreas Kyprianou, President of the Community Council of Paliometoxo
Dimitris Anastasiou, Member of the Community Council of Kornos
Marios Kyprianou, resident of Paliometoxo
George Zampa, resident of Aradippou
Maria Anastasiou, resident of Kornos

The experts shared their opinions and knowledge on the matter in a very constructive and fruitful way.

UCY will analyse the qualitative data gathered and will extract useful results for the next steps of the project, towards helping the communities of rural areas learn about and understand the EU finding programmes and the way they can apply, and receive funding towards addressing some of the issues they are facing.

Low energy bluetooth (BLE) technology

Our displays will be based on the Android operating system and will be equipped with 3G, WI-FI and BLE connectivity ( Bluetooth Low Energy ).

BLE devices do not have a direct internet connection, which is why they allow much more stable connection and tracking stability. They also consume very little energy, and can interface with each other as needed.

We are responsible for the technical part of the project! We created certificates for users when they answer the questionnaire. There are 4 certificates depending on the user’s score in the questionnaire. The blue one is for users with score less than 15.5, bronze for score higher than 15.5 and lower than 27 points, silver for score higher than 27 and lower than 43 and gold for score higher than 43. Below you can see what the gold certificate looks like.

The European project EPSILON – European Platform for Data Science: Incubation, Learning, Operations and Network, held its Kick-Off Translational Project Meeting online on the 28th of April, 2022.

It was a very productive meeting for the #ErasmusPlus #EPSILON project, where the SEIT Lab as a partner of the project, participated successfully. The SEIT Lab’s team (UCY) was represented by Evangelia Vanezi , Christos Mettouris, Katerina Petsa and Maria Anastasiou
