<< Objectives >>The I.D.E.A.S. project aims to build an educational program for sound engineers to manage audio and video signals synced in music live streaming contexts.Both OECD and IPOL stats state the huge crisis involving the live music business during the pandemic.The live music industry tried to react against diffused lockdowns with streaming events.Live streaming concerts acquired an important role in generating income so sound engineers have to be highly skilled in live streaming.<< Implementation >>The I.D.E.A.S. educational program aims to implement key skills for sound engineers in live streaming contexts. Inparticular:-To update and consolidate physical acoustics knowledge: how to manage sounds created in the physical domain and to convert them into a digital one;-To describe the approach to the several virtual platforms where a live concert can be streamed on the web;-To implement video skills aiming to manage phenomena like delays or latency between video and audio streaming.<< Results >>The I.D.E.A.S. project aims to create an educational program that will give as a result an efficient and comprehensive tool forsound engineers who:-Worked in live streaming contexts, giving them other instruments to increase their already existing skills;-Worked in live contexts and not in streaming ones, giving them the chance to join a growing sector and increasing their chances to work;

DIHs have the mission of helping companies (mainly start-ups, SMEs and mid-caps) to better understand and experiment on how digital technologies can improve their efficiency, effectiveness and product quality – in other words, their competitiveness. DIHs should have strong linkages with service providers outside of their own region in order to support companies in those services and technologies where regional DIHs do not have the requested in-house resources to provide services based on specific technologies sought by users. In recent decades, health-related activities have evolved from a reactive approach (curing diseases) to an approach based on the P4 medicine paradigm: Predictive, Preventive, Personalised and Participatory. In this new paradigm, the use of digital technologies is key. Thanks to digital technologies such as AI or HPC and the massive generation of medical and other health-related data, traditional methods for early detection, diagnosis, treatment, patient management, precision medicine, drug development, genomics, or medical image analysis are being transformed. DIHsP4_MEDICINE project aims to unleash the potential that exists around the collaboration among DIHs focused in health-related activities. The lessons to be learned from the activities carried out within the framework of the project will make possible to take advantage this experience for the implementation of joint long-term and stable programmes to fostering collaboration among DIHs, as well as exploring the opportunity to articulate stable Hub corridors to shape these collaborations.

Our vision is to “co-create Europe'' through a 21st century mindset, methodology, skills and tools, closing the innovation gap between “innovation leaders” and “moderate/modest innovators”. We rely on inclusion and active participation of actors, institutions and places that collaborate to maximize the value of innovation to society and ensure equitable diffusion of its benefits. BOOST project proposes a systemic approach, both inclusive and collaborative, to strengthen innovation ecosystems in Europe. The main aim of BOOST project is to increase the scope and efficiency of interregional collaboration among project partners and their regional innovation ecosystems, in the following thematic areas: Industry 4.0, Cleantech and Green Transition, Health & Well-being, and ICT & Digital Transformation, by designing a structural (multi-dimensional) Interregional Collaboration Framework (ICF), develop tools and mechanisms that enable and support the operationalization and scale up of the ICF among Smart Regions, and contribute to the transition towards Green and Digital Regional development models and policies in Europe. BOOST proposes a two-phase implementation process: (1) first the co-design and co-development of project’s core concepts: Vision, mission, ICF and Unique Selling Proposition, and initiating the BOOST community and collaboration Corridor; and (2) second to set up and mature the ICF among Smart Regions by developing a joint 5-year Innovation Action Plan, aligned with regional/national/EU innovation policies and synchronized with innovation funding mechanisms across partner regions and EU. The consortium brings together 4 partners (TIT, NWRDA, BBF and CLDI) from 3 modest and moderate innovator countries Bulgaria, Romania, and Spain, and 2 partners (VK and TSP) from 2 lead innovator countries Denmark and Estonia, enhancing exchange of innovation and boost best practices at the level of public and private stakeholders.

The project FLAMENCO (Forward Looking Approaches for Green Mobility Ecosystem Network Collaboration) goal is to analyse and pilot forward looking approaches and methods to enable and make sustainable the collaboration on the skills intelligence in the Automotive-Mobility Ecosystem. It is the direct support of the Pact for Skills large-scale partnership implementation in the Automotive-Mobility Ecosystem - Automotive Skills Alliance. The challenge is to make the collaboration of the partnership pragmatic and sustainable (outreach to other Pact for Skills partnerships as a good practice) so that it brings valuable info about the new technological and societal trends, related skills needs training offer/needs and other goals in terms of the skills intelligence leading up to the re-/up-skilling within the European mobility ecosystem.The project main activities will be to analyse the sector in cooperation with stakeholders in terms of the needs, tools, requirements and goals of the sectoral collaboration on skills intelligence via different methods, such as desk research, survey or workshop all validated by the sectoral stakeholders.Finding will be implemented in the methodology, methods and models for the collaboration and unified methodology and approach will be provided and further tested and piloted on individual focus groups. Project will develop recommendations and good practices in form of case studies and will provide them alongside with tested, frequently updated and validated methods which are to be rolled-out in different Pact for Skills partnerships and sustained after the project ends.All of this is supported by strong partnership with background and experience with skills agenda, pioneering Pact for Skills partnership as a full partner, strategical projects and implementation of such activities. Dissemination will assure that the impact of the project is consistent and on the desired level to the all Pact for Skills community in Europe.

BOWI project addresses the challenge of limited capacities among DIHs to support the uptake of SAE/I4MS technologies during the last 7 years in the European industry at large. The overall aim of the project is to create a DIH widening network that supports the collaboration of new DIHs (proto-hubs) in regions where SAE and I4MS technologies are underrepresented and well-established DIHs that are highly experienced in these technologies (mature hubs). BOWI takes the first step towards creating a fully sustainable post-project network by: 1. Strengthening proto-hubs by carrying out actual experiments and facilitating the collaboration between proto-hubs and mature hubs; 2. Ensuring sustainability of BOWI network by developing a blended financing accelerator and membership model; 3. Creating the BOWI community, initiating the participation of proto-hubs, mature hubs, regional stakeholders, and investors. The mechanism will be first tested by supporting 6 pioneer proto-hubs (pioneer stage), which will be later extended to 9 proto-hubs in the second full-fledged strengthening stage, allowing new members of the EU DIH community to participate, including the proto-hubs and mature hubs that are currently not part of the consortium. The post-project BOWI network business model is to be explored, including service and funding needs. To ensure practical experience, all 15 proto-hubs will be supported to conduct 60 (15x4) SAE/I4MS uptake experiments with SMEs in total. For this purpose, an extensive FSTP approach will be used. The consortium includes experienced partners that participate intensively in the SAE/I4MS strategies (Civitta, FBA, VTT, and RWTH). They are complemented by 6 proto-hubs from various countries that act as pioneer hubs to test and validate approaches (TIT, LITC, UWB, KTP, NTNU, ICT).
