Terrorism resulting from radicalisation and violent extremism is a serious threat to European security.

Projects’ results under this topic are expected to contribute to some or all of the following outcomes:

• Improved understanding of motivation of women and girls for supporting extremist ideologies, such as grievance and stigmatisation.
• Improved understanding of the role of masculinity in men and boys’ motivation for the support of extreme ideologies.
• Better understanding of the group dynamics at play during processes of radicalisation, including factors for factionalism and potential splinters in terrorist organisations.
• Development of strategies aimed at enhancing the use of motivation factor in detection, prevention and de-radicalisation efforts.
• European Police Authorities, Prison Authorities, social care workers, teachers and other P/CVE practitioners benefit from modern and validated tools, skills and training curricula to identify early symptoms of radicalisation.
• Identification and assessment of best practices that are transferable across Member States improving and developing modules and trainings, strengthening adaption of local community policing in diverse communities.
• Design girls and women’s empowerment approaches through legal, financial and/or cultural means aimed at tackling the root causes of radicalisation and extremism.

Towards networked Local Digital Twins in the EU

Closed

Code: 34296 | Identifier Code: DIGITAL-2024-CLOUD-DATA-AI-07-DIGITALTWIN | Programme name: 15593 | Start submission calls: 04/07/2024 | End submission calls: 21/11/2024

The action is divided in three objectives, each to be achieved through a separate work strand:

Objective 1: Technical inter-connection of existing LDTs: Connecting data platforms and LDTs from cities and communities that already have a LDT in place, in order to create an EU “federation” of LDTs.

Objective 2: Creation of LDTs based on common needs: Developing open-source pilots of LDTs services, based on shared needs of cities and communities that already have a local data platform and/or a LDT and want to expand them with new real-life use case services.

Objective 3: Adding new complex AI-based tools to the LDTs toolbox: Complementing the EU LDT toolbox launched under WP2021-22 with additional complex AI-based and innovative services (e.g., for adaptable multi-sector considerations, advanced simulation and modelling approaches including bottom-up self-organised models).

These objectives will be implemented through three work strands by a single project that will provide cascading funding to the third parties through a single call.

Support to the implementation of Multi-Country Projects (MCPs)

Code: 34294 | Identifier Code: DIGITAL-2024-BESTUSE-07-MULTICOUNTRY | Programme name: 15593 | Start submission calls: 04/07/2024 | End submission calls: 21/11/2024

Multi-Country Projects (MCPs) are large scale projects facilitating the achievement of the targets for digital transformation of the Union and industrial recovery. They involve at least three Member States and typically include the Union’s and Member States’ financing.

The topic aims to facilitate the implementation of Multi-Country projects, including where the European Digital Infrastructure Consortia (EDICs) have been chosen as implementation mechanism. The selected projects should be implemented either by an EDIC or through another mechanism listed in the DDPP Decision, including a consortium which includes at least three Member States.

Multi-source satellite image analysis – Organisation of a technological challenge

Closed

Code: 34289 | Identifier Code: EDF-2024-LS-RA-CHALLENGE-SPACE-MSIAO | Programme name: 3564 | Start submission calls: 20/06/2024 | End submission calls: 05/11/2024

The objective evaluation of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, such as those used for satellite image analysis, requires a specific organisation whereby systems are tested on datasets that are new to the systems (blind testing), but that are representative of the tasks under study, and using common protocols. This scheme is commonly referred to as a “technological challenge”. One objective of the call is to organise a technological challenge driving research toward enhanced satellite image analysis for defence applications, and in particular for the combined analysis of optical and radar images. While a few challenges on satellite image analysis are organised in other contexts, there is a need for evaluations focusing on defence use cases, and for large datasets with annotations enabling accurate performance measurements.

Multi-source satellite image analysis – Participation in a technological challenge

Optical and radar images of a given geographic area contain complementary information. While these different types of images result from very different physical principles, which make their combination quite challenging, such a combination can lead to improved information extraction and capabilities. This call topic therefore aims at progressing information fusion approaches towards this objective.

To fulfil their missions, the next generation of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) are expected to offer an increased level of autonomy. Their effective deployment necessitates key features of swarming and navigation to target positions when GNSS availability is contested or lost and more generally in non-permissive environments.
The use of various types of sensors (e.g. inertial, optical, infrared, hyperspectral, radar, LIDAR, acoustic, etc.) and intelligent information fusion are needed to provide the necessary capabilities to tackle these technical and operational challenges. Such intelligent navigation payloads should be usable on a wide range of unmanned assets, including in swarm formations, while having a low SWaP-C (Size, Weight, Power and Costs). Their performances should be measured in a quantitative, objective and comparable way.
