Descrizione del progetto
Apprendimento di alto livello nel campo dell’IoT
Gruppi di ricerca di università e aziende di cinque Stati membri dell’UE e di un paese associato si uniranno per formare una rete di formazione innovativa sull’Internet delle cose (IoT). Coordinati dal progetto IoTalentum, finanziato dall’UE, 15 ricercatori in fase iniziale di carriera riceveranno una formazione di alto livello nel campo dell’IoT di prossima generazione. Il passo successivo sarà far progredire l’IoT producendo vantaggi coordinati in materia di infrastrutture e cibersicurezza. L’obiettivo di ricerca globale include lo sviluppo di un controllo integrale, autonomo e flessibile per un’infrastruttura eterogenea nella nuova era dell’IoT basata sul 5G. Inoltre, il progetto proporrà nuove soluzioni di cibersicurezza e svilupperà reti intelligenti utilizzando l’infrastruttura e i servizi della prossima generazione di IoT.
Obiettivo
The Internet of Things (IoT) consists of a vast number of interconnected devices with heterogeneous characteristics. The market value of IoT is expected to exceed trillions of euros by 2020 and, with so much at stake, Europe has to pursue leadership in this area. Although several aspects of research and deployment of separate IoT pieces have been addressed by some EU project initiatives, integral training and research across diverse sectors, i.e. providing a global view of IoT technologies and applications for the professionals of tomorrow has not been yet addressed. That is the driving force for IoTalentum, a European Training Network on IoT, providing interdisciplinary and integral training and research in IoT: infrastructures, cybersecurity and applications.
IoTalentum will train 15 Early-Stage Researchers (ESRs) through an outstanding training program that includes coordinated research in different IoT fields. IoTalentum has been structured in 6 workpackages (WPs): 3 research WPs focused on infrastructures, cybersecurity and applications, respectively, and 3 transversal WPs.
IoTalentum establishes a well-balanced, interdisciplinary, intersectoral and innovative training network of 11 beneficiaries: 6 companies and 5 universities. Moreover, IoTalentum is also composed of two partner organisations from industry and one university complementing the expertise of beneficiaries.
The overarching objective of IoTalentum is to provide high-level training in the field of IoT to a new generation of ESRs to provide them with the transferable skills necessary for thriving careers in a burgeoning area that underpins innovative technological development across a range of diverse disciplines. This goal will be achieved by a unique combination of “hands-on” research training, non-academic placements, courses and workshops on scientific and complementary soft skills facilitated by the academic/non-academic composition of the consortium.
