The HealthService24 eTEN project aimed at realizing the mobile health dream. The project developed an innovative mobile healthcare system that supports patients’ and health professionals’ mobility, increases patients’ quality of life and reduces healthcare costs.

EPRI Start Project aimed at stimulating, increasing, but at the same time qualifying the participation of SMEs from New Member States of the European Union in the IST Programme.
FP5

QCCS – Quality Controlled Component-based Software development: before Component Based Development will be accepted widely, the quality of the components needs to be guaranteed. The QCCS developed a methodology and supporting tools that can guarantee that a component will perform as specified.

Purpose of the bioGRID project is to conduct a trial for the introduction of a grid approach in the biotechnology industry.

Duration: 2002-2003
Sponsor: EU-FP5

CBSEnet Project aimed to a) create a European-wide forum for the exchange of information between researchers and developers working in the area of Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE); b) suggest how CBSE technologies could improve software engineering processes in different domains and to propose future research requirements for development and deployment of CBSE technologies.

MEDFORIST was a project of the EUMEDIS initiative of the European Union and aimed at implementing an Euro-Mediterranean network for sharing IST resources.

This UNESCO-led, multi-cultural EUMEDIS pilot project brought together higher education institutions from 15 Euro-Mediterranean states to create a regional community of e-learners. Every country represented in the consortium has set up its own Knowledge Centre (AKC), to produce, adapt and share e-learning modules.

Mediterranean Virtual University was an EU-project under the EUMedis programme. Tha aim was: 1. develop and deliver high quality, relevant online modules which meet the requirements of industry and individuals and 2. build a lasting international educational network where academic and technical expertise in e-learning can be exchanged between partners in Europe and the Mediterranean region.

The problems associated with non-compliance to a prescribed medication regime can have serious implications for the health of the patient and incur unnecessary healthcare costs. The aim of MEDICATE was to investigate the needs of such patients, analyse current methods used to address this problem and develop an innovative care model and associated peripherals to assist with compliance to a medication regimen.
Erasmus+













IDEA Erasmus+ (SEIT Lab Coordinator): the general objective of the project is to improve the quality of practices in the education of adults on the challenges and opportunities related to energy poverty eradication. The project aims to develop a high quality educational approach which will be able to address both sides of the problem (technical and social) and also highlight the entrepreneurship possibilities in the area of energy advising.


The ELSE project aims to:
- Design an innovative learning environment based on learner-centred pedagogies (holistic, constructivist, connectivist approaches), which can activate students’ learning process through problem-solving, learning-by-doing, gamification, or digital information research;
- Demonstrate to teachers that these opportunities can be realised through the application of Higher Order Thinking ICTs;
- Provide appropriate and easy to use training material to make this transformative journey possible.

ReaDI-STANCE (RESTART 2016 – 2020 PROGRAMME) READING DIFFICULTIES INTERVENTION: SCIENTIFIC, TECHNOLOGICAL, AND NEW COMMUNITY EFFORTS: Early intervention is crucial to the prevention of reading difficulties (RD). Nevertheless, there are no empirically validated answers to the question of what intervention(s) work best, for which children, in what setting(s), for what duration, and for what reason. Hence, there is an urgent need for several educational systems to get more deeply involved in this area. The aims of the present project are three-fold: First, to examine the efficacy of two intervention programs, one with more cognitive (PREP: PASS Reading Enhancement Program) and one with a more phoneme-code (Graphogame) focus. Both programs will be delivered as web-based applications through platforms that will allow data storage and processing via remote servers. Second, to develop a novel framework for analyzing remediation data micro-genetically. We expect that this sort of data processing will help us explore the learning progress dynamics and developmental stages of the readers during the intervention and examine the type of early intervention most useful for treating specific RD. Finally, the third aim is to intensively train graduate students, special education teachers, and school psychologists to understand better how to apply evidence-based effective intervention in theory and practice.

e-Thalassa: the project aimed to the design and development of a reliable and functinal application to enhance the quality of life of people with thalassemia in Cyprus.
INTERREG

InnoFun Interreg IVC: the main objective of InnoFun project is the creation of the specific methodology and the digital tool, whose main task will be to speed up the process “from Research to Sale”. In the context of InnoFun, an Innovation Funding Website has been designed and developed. The website aims to aggregate and offer easy access to available information about funding schemes, policies and events, as well as any relevant documents, people to contact with and other websites that are useful for applicants. It also attempts to facilitate the first steps of crowdfunding and crowdsourcing in Cyprus.
LLP

VALS LLP will establish sustainable methods and processes to build knowledge partnerships between Higher Education (HE) and companies to collaborate on resolving authentic business problems through open innovation mediated by the use of Open Source Software (OSS).

V-ALERT LLP: the vision of V-ALERT is to use a uniform environment that will simulate real-life security threat scenarios, examples and counterexamples in a way that different groups of users will experience the risks and combine critical skills, knowledge and collaboration to overcome them, without exposing their organization to real risk.
COST Action

ICT COST Action IC1302: Semantic keyword-based search on structured data sources (KEYSTONE)

ICT COST Action IC1406 High-Performance Modelling and Simulation for Big Data Applications (cHiPSet)
Description: The Big Data era poses a critically difficult challenge and striking development opportunities in High-Performance Computing (HPC): how to efficiently turn massively large data into valuable information and meaningful knowledge. Computationally effective HPC is required in a rapidly-increasing number of data-intensive domains, such as Life and Physical Sciences, and Socioeconomic Systems.Modelling and Simulation (MS) offer suitable abstractions to manage the complexity of analysing Big Data in various scientific and engineering domains. Unfortunately, Big Data problems are not always easily amenable to efficient MS over HPC. Also, MS communities may lack the detailed expertise required to exploit the full potential of HPC solutions, and HPC architects may not be fully aware of specific MS requirements. Therefore, there is an urgent need for European co-ordination to facilitate interactions among data-intensive MS and HPC experts, ensuring that the field, which is strategic and of long-standing interest in Europe, develops efficiently – from academic research to industrial practice.This Action will provide the integration to foster a novel, coordinated Big Data endeavour supported by HPC. It will strongly support information exchange, synergy and coordination of activities among leading European research groups and top global partner institutions, and will promote European software industry competitiveness.
