MAIN GOAL. Develop protocols to guide the installation, adaptation, and operation of hydrological stations for monitoring the quantity and quality of surface water in the Amazon basin defined in the AHN and WQN projects; as well as for the processing of the data generated in these networks, along with its publication, aiming at the methodological harmonization among the countries of the region for monitoring integration in the Amazon basin.
MAIN GOAL. This Agreement aims to establish the terms for carrying out activities in cooperation between the FOREIGN INSTITUTION and UFJ, seeking to expand and strengthen scientific, educational, and technical exchange in all areas of activity of both institutions.
MAIN GOAL. Develop a secondary zinc-air battery system for efficient and cost effective stationary energy storage. Why Zinc-air battery? • High energy density • Abundant and environmentally friendly materials • Non-flammable and safe • Low cost Xxxx-Xxx Xxx, Metal–Air Batteries with High Energy Density: Li–Air versus Zn–Air, Adv.

MAIN GOAL. The communication and dissemination actions within the context of PLATOON focus on promoting the project’s research and educational aspects, including jargon-free, policy- and decision-making messages, to a vast range of stakeholders. PLATOON (Digital PLAtform and analytical TOOls for eNergy) builds a cyber-secure digital platform that allows for large-scale multi-party data exchange, processing and monetisation, all governed by a clear data governance policy. During the project, the necessary analytical toolbox is developed for energy specific applications that can contribute to make the existing energy system more efficient by improving current processes and unleashing new services and business models. Most importantly, all these solutions need to be implemented, and validated using the project’s seven large scale pilots. The COSMAG compliant reference platform with flexible capabilities will cover a wide number of challenges and solutions: ● Interoperability to deal with a wide spectrum and heterogeneous data sources, formats, interfaces, ● Data governance and security to answer multiple data owners and providers, ● User friendliness by energy domain experts without deep mathematical knowledge. The toolbox will apply pure mathematical techniques, like statistical characterization, classification, prediction, optimization, to the energy sector needs predictive maintenance and life extension of energy assets, distribution grids optimum management, peak power avoidance and demand side response, efficient end use of energy. At the end of the project, PLATOON will successfully cover the following business challenges: ● To enhance the role of the energy sector stakeholders to let them reliably, fairly and securely extract knowledge from their own data. ● To xxxxxx the new business models in the energy sector using digital technologies. ● To enhance the multi-party cooperation between technology providers and data owners. ● To contribute to standardization of the energy management systems by assessing whether current standards offer the proper roles interfaces to enable business processes, including new ones and identify where new standards may be needed, according to the COSMAG reference. Consequently, all communication and dissemination messages will be customised to address all aspects of the project and communicate the project’s progress and output to a vast range of stakeholders, who are analysed in Section 5.
MAIN GOAL. Design and develop the thematic module on forests which will be integrated into the Amazonian Regional Observatory (ARO) platform, incorporating in the integrating modules (GeoAmazon, Amazon Networks, Digital Amazon and Our Amazon) information on Amazonian forests. Pre-existing and articulated data from public and official sources of ACTO Member Countries will be the basis of the Module, as well as data from international institutions and platforms with relevant performance in the forest theme (e.g., FAO, ITTO, UNFF, ForestPlots), which should be consistent with the components and strategic actions of the ACTO Forest Program for the Amazon Region.
MAIN GOAL. 1. Development of community-based short break programmes for carers of persons with disabilities.
