The second contractual review meeting for the InteropEHRate H2020 co-funded research project (https://www.interopehrate.eu/) was held virtually on September 21, 2021. InteropEHRate aims to support peoples’ health by opening them up new ways to make health data available where needed. To make this possible, key health data is managed in “patients’ hands”, i.e. through Smart EHRs (S-EHR) on mobile devices. Data is always transferred via highly secure channels including a direct device-to-device. The InteropEHRate consortium successfully presented the results of the work of the project during the second period.

UBITECH has participated at the competitive infrastructure-oriented open call of the EC funded eSSIF-Lab H2020 project (https://essif-lab.eu/), that targets the provision of open source components, for example the SSI-Roles layer, the SSI Protocols or the Crypto layer, and was awarded with a cascading grant for implementing the DOOR project on hardware roots of trust. In particular, DOOR aims to extend the ESSIF-Framework by building a new component on the Holder side that enables the use of hardware-based keys and offers the possibility to bind Verifiable Credentials (VCs) to the wallet of the holder.

The final review of the ASTRID H2020 project, held virtually on the September 15th, 2021, was completed with success, marking the end of the three-year action. UBITECH successfully demonstrated its use case on secure Voice-over-IP (VoIP) communications using the Kubernetes enabled MAESTRO orchestrator. During the project, UBITECH extended MAESTRO to utilize the community wide accepted Kubernetes orchestration engine, manage it through its dashboard and integrate the Security related plugins of MAESTRO with Kubernetes. Such Security related plugins are BPF, Vulnerability check, Traffic Monitoring, Packet interception, and System auditing.

The European Commission’s proposal for tackling climate and environmental-related challenges as set in the 2019 communication for a European Green Deal resets the Commission’s commitment to achieving zero emissions of greenhouse gases in 2050 and stresses the importance of a resource-efficient economy where economic growth is decoupled from resource use. In this context, a sustainable ‘blue’ economy will compensate for the demands in land resources for energy production. Renewable energy sources are expected to play a key role towards a clean energy transition. Offshore facilities for renewable energy production are expected to expand, thus affecting marine activities such as fishing and shipping. Planning for this transition requires improving knowledge of the current status of the European waters.
