QUBITECH organised and hosted the AQIPCS Portfolio Meeting in Heraklion, Crete, on 27 and 28 October 2026. The meeting was held in the frame of the HEISINGBERG EIC Pathfinder project, in support of the portfolio activities, and brought together representatives of the projects that form the Alternative Quantum Information Processing, Communication and Sensing (AQIPCS) Portfolio of the European Innovation Council (EIC). Over the two days, delegations from the VeriQuB, PANDA, IQARO and ARTEMIS projects joined the HEISINGBERG consortium to present their most recent scientific and technological highlights and to work through open scientific questions in small, focused working groups. The format favoured hands-on exchange over plenary presentation, allowing researchers working on photonic, superconducting and hybrid quantum platforms to compare results, identify complementarities and align their plans for the final year of the portfolio.

UBITECH organised and hosted, on 15 and 16 October 2026 in Athens, the kick-off meeting of SignAIL, the Horizon Europe Innovation Action on “Strategic Intelligence for the Detection and Triage of Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference”. Over two days, the consortium partners aligned the project’s objectives, work plan, technical architecture, governance and exploitation strategy, and set the course for a 24-month programme of work that started on 1 October 2026 and runs until 30 September 2028. SignAIL is co-funded by the European Commission under Grant Agreement ID 101309373, within the Civil Security for Society cluster of Horizon Europe and its Strengthened Security Research and Innovation (SSRI) strand. Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (FIMI) has become one of the most pressing threats to Europe’s democratic resilience, economic security and public trust. Influence operations now blend coordinated inauthentic behaviour across social media, narrative seeding on the surface and dark web, synthetic and deepfake media, and financial infrastructures that span multiple blockchains, which makes detection, attribution and timely response a complex, multi-domain challenge for competent authorities. SignAIL answers this challenge by delivering an operational, near-market capability that enables European authorities to detect, assess and respond to FIMI in real time.

UBITECH’s Energy Digitalisation (EDG) Research Group (https://ubitech.eu/edg/) has published a new research paper introducing a conversational agentic interface that connects everyday natural language to physics-based household energy simulation. The paper, titled “A Conversational Agentic Interface to Physics-Based Household Digital Twins for Residential Energy Decision Support,” is now available on arXiv and has been accepted for presentation at the IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies (ISGT) Europe 2026 conference, taking place October 19–22, 2026 in Budapest, Hungary. The work, authored by Costas Mylonas, Titos Georgoulakis, and Dr. Magda Foti of UBITECH’s Energy Digitalisation Group, tackles a persistent bottleneck in residential energy decision-making: the gap between high-fidelity physical simulation and the people who actually need its insights. Homeowners weighing a retrofit, consultants assessing building- and district-level interventions, and retailers or aggregators estimating residential flexibility for distributed energy resource coordination have historically been forced to choose between costly, static professional audits, rough rule-of-thumb estimates that ignore household specificity, or simulation tools that demand specialised engineering expertise to operate. UBITECH’s new framework is designed to close that gap by letting any of these stakeholders query a rigorous, physics-based household model simply by describing what they want to know.

UBITECH’s Energy Digitalization Group (EDG) announces the publication of two research papers that establish rigorous, reproducible benchmarks for evaluating Large Language Model (LLM) agents on real power system engineering workflows. The papers, “PowerAgentBench-SS: A Benchmark for Agentic AI in Power System Steady-State Studies” and “PowerAgentBench-Dyn: A Benchmark for Agentic AI in Power System Dynamic Studies,” are now available on arXiv at https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.18789 and https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.20401 respectively, and will be presented at the North American Power Symposium 2026 (NAPS 2026), taking place October 11-13, 2026 at Michigan Technological University (https://www.mtu.edu/ece/naps-2026/). Both works were developed within UBITECH’s participation in PowerAgent, the open-source Agentic AI community for power systems maintained by Harvard University’s School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (https://poweragent.seas.harvard.edu/), which EDG joined as a member of the core development team. Both papers were authored jointly by researchers from UBITECH’s Energy Digitalization Group, Harvard SEAS, Politecnico di Milano, EnliteAI, and the National Technical University of Athens, with the accompanying benchmark code released publicly through the PowerAgent Community repository at https://github.com/Power-Agent/PowerAgentBench.

UBITECH and QUBITECH, its subsidiary dedicated to quantum technologies, took part in the kick-off meeting of QCERT, the new Digital Europe Programme project on Quantum safe CERTificate Infrastructure for Resilient Trust, held in Athens on 29–30 September 2026 and hosted by the project coordinator UniSystems. Co-funded by the European Union under Grant Agreement No. 101299572, QCERT runs for 36 months, from September 2026 to August 2029, and brings together twelve organisations from across Europe to prepare the continent’s digital trust infrastructure for the post-quantum era. The two-day meeting set the project’s technical baseline, work plan and governance, and gave the consortium’s trust service providers, certification authorities, regulators, research institutes and technology companies a first opportunity to align on how Europe’s public key infrastructure (PKI) should evolve once cryptographically relevant quantum computers make today’s RSA- and ECC-based certificates obsolete.

QUBITECH took part in the kick-off meeting of the Digital Europe project INQREASE (INdustrial Quantum ecosystem foR nExt-generAtion Secure nEtwork), held on 16–17 September 2026 in Padova, Italy. The two-day meeting was hosted by the project coordinator ThinkQuantum and gathered the full consortium to align on the technical roadmap, the work plan and the certification strategy for the 48 months ahead. Co-funded by the European Commission under Grant Agreement No. 101304887, INQREASE runs from July 2026 to June 2030. Its ambition is to establish a mature European industrial ecosystem for security-certified terrestrial quantum key distribution (QKD) technologies and systems, and to enable their integration into operational telecommunication networks. The project follows a vertically integrated approach that spans the entire technology stack, from advanced quantum components and photonic integration to complete QKD systems, network software and real-world deployments, with leading European industrial and academic partners contributing complementary expertise.

UBITECH’s Energy Digitalization Group (https://ubitech.eu/edg/) announced today the publication of a peer-reviewed research paper introducing mAIEnergy, an open-access, multimodal dataset purpose-built to support Large Language Model (LLM) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) applications in the energy domain. The paper, titled “A Multimodal Dataset for Large Language Model Applications in the Energy Domain,” was authored by Costas Mylonas and Dr Magda Foti and has been accepted and published in Scientific Data, a journal of Nature Portfolio. The work addresses a long-standing gap in energy-sector data infrastructure: while numerical, geospatial, textual, and imagery data relevant to energy systems have long existed in scattered, single-modality repositories, no openly available corpus had previously integrated all four modalities into a single, harmonized, AI-ready resource. mAIEnergy closes that gap, providing a foundational knowledge base that energy researchers, utilities, regulators, and technology developers can use directly or extend with their own proprietary data.
