E-SPFdigit will bring novel onsite digital tools already at TRL5 under systemic innovation, which will be further deployed, upscaled, field-tested and demonstrated to TRL7-8, in viticulture and horticulture applications in Greece and Spain in soil-contaminated areas (located near mines, offensive industries, highways, floodwaters). E-SPFdigit brings novel developed: i) MIP-based electrochemical sensors coupled with SPME for on-site monitoring and analysis of dedicated to PFAS targeted molecules, ii) Multiplex organic Surface Plasmon Resonance optical biosensors for onsite pesticides residues monitoring and analysis, iii) IDE-based electrochemical sensors for onsite detection and quantification of heavy metals & micronutrients, and iv) UVC LED -based nutrient analysers for soil water content in-situ and real time monitoring. The AI-driven onsite digital tools will be model calibrated using machine learning algorithms to improve error distribution of a predictive model, ensuring reliability. Also, E-SPFdigit brings an edge-based remote sensing framework via a robust autonomous mobile robot self-navigating and a heavy-duty unmanned aerial vehicle for in-field detection of soil parameters regarding the aforementioned chemical and biological stressors. Finally, to predict pesticide and fertiliser and other chemical contaminants impacts on crop-soil-microbiome nexus, the project will use on-field real-time digital ground sensors combined with Earth Observation data and causal machine learning. All the onsite digital tools will be interconnected with a Decision Support Systems with blockchain and cybersecurity mechanisms enabling informed decisions and automated decision making for IPM and INM, enhanced with automated decision making for immediate soil management practices.

SEADOTs (Social-Ecological Ocean Management Applications using Digital Ocean Twins) has the objective of advancing holistic, just and sustainable ocean management by bringing a predictive component for social-ecological aspects into comprehensive digital ocean twins (DOTs). These DOTs will combine digital twins of the ocean (DTO) with human activities in the ocean and combine socio-ecological and socio-economic data with ocean data, ecosystem data, and a variety of models. By creating and demonstrating applications in the Norwegian North Sea, the Southern North Sea and the Baltic Sea that address current challenges and developments and can simulate the intricate interactions between human activities and marine ecosystems, SEADOTs aims to facilitate and inform political decision making, marine spatial planning and adaptive management. SEADOTs ambition is to help safeguard ocean ecosystems, promote sustainable resource use, and enhance social and economic well-being. The project will leverage developments from ongoing Mission and Green Deal projects where partners are involved in, including the European Digital Twin projects Iliad and EDITO, OLAMUR and CLIMAREST and demonstrate Ocean Management Applications with Digital Ocean Twins on the EU Digital Twin Ocean (DTO) infrastructure as well as distributed platforms for socio-ecological, socio-economic and political endpoints. For that purpose will SEADOTs work with data acquisition and beyond the state of the art and the objective to provide spatially-explicit social-ecological data and data interoperability with geospatial ocean data also after the project period in suitable repositories, through stakeholder capacity building and through collaboration with the co-funded projects of this call. The SEADOTS consortium was built across scientific and technical excellence and is accompanied by an Advisory Board that spans marine spatial planning, political aspects, gaming and social science as well as Ocean Best Practices.

The next generation of wireless communication networks, 6G, is set to revolutionize the scope and potential of networked services by offering ultra-high data rates, ultra-low latency, ultra-reliability, and energy efficiency. However, to fully realize the benefits of 6G, it is crucial to ensure efficient and effective orchestration of its broad range of services and resources. ELASTIC proposes a novel approach to 6G service orchestration that utilizes cutting-edge technologies, including WebAssembly (Wasm), Function-as-a-Service (FaaS), and edge Internet of Things (IoT) orchestration, to enable flexible and efficient serverless deployment of services and functions, dynamic scaling and optimization of service delivery, and collaborative processing of large datasets in a privacy-preserving manner. ELASTIC's approach addresses the critical issue of security in 6G orchestration by leveraging Confidential Computing with Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), and by implementing security policies and service level agreements provided by verticals in edge cloud-native environments and enclaves. To support the development of this approach, ELASTIC will conduct extensive research on executable isolation, early detection of security vulnerabilities, comparative study of Kubernetes eBPF solutions for observability, and assessment of WASM security properties. ELASTIC will also develop a comprehensive infrastructure that includes an open-source framework and interfaces for cross-platform and portable drivers, low-latency, real-time monitoring of cluster-distributed eBPF/XDP and WASM for security issues, high-speed, secure communication algorithms, distributed state synchronization algorithms, and an observability framework for WebAssembly-based serverless/FaaS workloads in Kubernetes. The impact of the ELASTIC will be materialised within the active contribution of the project to referent open-source projects (Linux, Kubernetes, etc), communities, and standards.

Languages are part of our shared Cultural Heritage and gateways to European multicultural identity. Within this framework, Endangered Intangible Heritage and Language (EIHL) communities hold unique traditional knowledge that supports a distinct sense of place-making and long traditions of cultural and heritage sustainability within some of the most vulnerable ecosystems. Although digital technologies provide a uniquely powerful opportunity to revitilise EIHL, previous efforts have predominantly concentrated on preserving grammatical/lexical aspects. There remains untapped potential in exploring the integrated use of immersive technologies and participatory storytelling for linguistic heritage revitalisation through active community engagement. REVIVE will identify and evaluate the role of digital innovation, creativity and interactive narratives in promoting understanding and engagement with EIHL, fostering social integration and cross-cultural fertilisation among marginalised European communities. The project will be based on two concrete case studies and cultural contexts: Cornish (UK), and Griko (Italy). Taking advantage of XR (Extended Reality) technologies, REVIVE will produce the first EU online digital scaffolder - so called REVIVE(S) - comprising a) an online repository (and showcase) of old material testimonies collected by locals and new XR digital narratives and b) onsite temporary exhibitions, made of micro and macro outputs born out of REVIVE(S) and setup in selected communities’ venues. These activities will inform policy recommendations, best practice guidelines, and toolkits for EIHL revitalisation, aligning with REVIVE's main goal: demonstrating that citizen participation, multidisciplinarity, and the creative connotation of digital innovation are crucial and effective means for consolidating and promoting multilingualism and EIHL in Europe.
