CA20140 - CorEuStem: The European Network for StemCell Core Facilities (CorEuStem)
The COST Action CorEuStem – The European Network for Stem Cell Core Facilities iscomprised by experts in stem cell biology, differentiation, organoids and gene editing technologies with the aim of developing an efficient and effective consortium for harmonizing procedures and protocols across Europe and beyond. CorEuStem consortium seeks to become a Pan European reference point for stakeholders in stem cell biology and associated technologies.
3D Modeling and Predictive Analysis for Optimizing the Management of the Miljacka River: Towards a Sustainable Water Environment
3D Modeling and Predictive Analysis for Optimizing the Management of the Miljacka River: Towards a Sustainable Water Environment
The project "3D Modeling and Predictive Analysis for Optimizing the Management of the Miljacka River: Towards a Sustainable Water Environment" is a research and development project aimed at improving the management strategy of the Miljacka River in accordance with the development strategy of the Sarajevo Canton for the period 2021-2027 through the application of innovative digital solutions.
The aim of the project was to utilize three-dimensional (3D) modeling technology to identify pollution hotspots, assess their causes, and propose remediation strategies, ultimately promoting the sustainability of the river's aquatic ecosystem. Initially, a two-dimensional (2D) model based on satellite imagery was created to provide a foundational understanding of the river's hydrology. This 2D model was then upgraded to a more sophisticated three-dimensional (3D) model using tools like SketchUp, Revit, and Twinmotion. The process involved integrating topographic characteristics and physical data, including length, width, and depth of the river. Additionally, the methodology included mapping significant pollution areas along the riverbed, particularly from City Hall to Otoka, to identify pollution hotspots. The identification of these hotspots involved a thorough analysis of potential pollution sources. The analysis reveals that these hotspots are primarily caused by streams and collectors, highlighting the importance of accurately pinpointing pollution sources for effective remediation. Furthermore, the study was demonstrate the capability of 3D modeling to provide detailed insights into the river's hydrology, facilitating the identification of optimal sites for algae colonization for bioremediation purposes.
The project has social and economic significance, as it is closely aligned with the Sarajevo Canton's development strategy for the period 2021-2027. Its goal is to optimize the management of the Miljacka River in accordance with the principles of sustainable development.
This project was supported by the Ministry of Science, Higher Education and Youth of Canton Sarajevo.
CA20124 - Maximising impact of multidisciplinary research in early diagnosis of neonatal brain injury (AI-4-NICU)
CA20124 - Maximising impact of multidisciplinary research in early diagnosis of neonatal brain injury (AI-4-NICU)
The AI4NICU Action will create a pan-European multidisciplinary network with the clinical and technical expertise required to bring artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled decision-support tools to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). These AI tools build on existing cot-side technologies, such as the electroencephalogram, by including machine-learning algorithms to detect biomarkers of brain injury.
