UBITECH participated at the kick-off meeting hosted by EURECAT in Barcelona, Spain (September 14-15, 2022) of the NebulOus Research and Innovation Action, officially started on September 1st, 2022. The project is funded by European Commission under Horizon Europe Programme (Grant Agreement No. 101070516) and spans on the period September 2022 – August 2025. NebulOus aims to transparently manage all the layers of the cloud continuum stack, in an equivalent manner to an Operating System (OS), managing the available computing capacity to facilitate an adaptive application hosting environment, driven by the processing proximity to data sources and optimised based on the data involved, the defined QoS requirements and the regulatory, security or privacy constraints.

UBITECH successfully concluded the DOOR project (Hardware Roots of Trust as an Enabler of Trustworthiness in Digital Transactions) that empowers participating entities in the ESSIF-Framework to establish trust by providing strong verifiable evidence and assurances on the origin and integrity of the presented verifiable credentials. DOOR achieves this goal by building a trusted layer between interacting parties that is based on strong cryptographic privacy-preserving tools. In this way, DOOR can enable the handling of VCs requiring higher level of assurances locally at the holder’s wallet.

On 27 and 28 June 2022, the H2020 project OneNet is organising a two-part online event to shine a light on the OneNet demonstration clusters. OneNet includes several demos that are organised in four clusters covering the whole of Europe. Each cluster involves multiple DSOs and TSOs to implement new market concepts and new flexibility solutions and test them in a real life environment. In this online event, each demo cluster will briefly present the novel solutions they are bringing to the European electricity sector, followed by a moderated discussion on a specific, distinct topic.

On Tuesday June 21, 2022 at 17:30 CEST, the EC co-funded RAINBOW Research and Innovation Action (https://rainbow-h2020.eu/) is hosting an online workshop on “Edge Orchestration”. In particular, platforms for managing Cloud-only infrastructures, such as Kubernetes or OpenStack are well known. Recently various platforms for managing the Cloud-Edge continuum have started to emerge. Both, academia and industry, have presented innovative ideas for tackling the challenges of this domain over the past years. This workshop presents platforms for managing Cloud-Edge infrastructures and applications deployed on them.

The second review of the FARCROSS H2020 Innovation Action with the external reviewer and the Project Officer from the EC side took place on June 21, 2022, wherein the FARCROSS consortium successfully presented the results of the work of the project during the second year of the project. The FARCROSS project aims to connect major stakeholders of the energy value chain and demonstrate integrated hardware and software solutions that will facilitate the “unlocking” of the resources for cross-border electricity flows and regional cooperation. The project will promote state-of-the-art technologies to enhance the exploitation/capacity/efficiency of transmission grid assets, either on the generation or the transmission level.
