Projects

Research that leaves the lab and reaches the field

OXTEND’s own projects come first. Below them are EU projects our founders led in their academic roles.

Horizon 2020Innovation Action · 2020–2024 · Completed

SMART4ALL

Self-sustained cross-border customized cyber-physical system experiments for capacity building among European stakeholders

SMART4ALL built a network of digital innovation hubs across Southeast Europe and funded cross-border experiments that moved research from universities to companies. Within the project, OXTEND developed intelligent IoT solutions for emergency management. They combine 3D scanning, computer vision, drones, thermal cameras and low-power microcomputers to give emergency responders faster, clearer information from the field.

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 872614.

EU projects led by our founders

Our founders led and co-led these EU-funded projects in their academic roles; the projects were carried out by their institutions, such as South East European University. They bring this experience to every consortium OXTEND joins.
