Early Stage Researchers

The ACROSSING project will train and develop 15 Early Stage Researchers in conducting research across 15 specificially tailored, complementary, individual research projects. These researchers have been receruited from across the Globe and will work across the research programme over the course of 3 years. Learn more about our researchers here.

Research & Training

The project aims to address the global ageing problem by implementing a multidisciplinary cross-sector pan-European training network of 15 Early Stage Researchers. The overall goal is to address existing challenges of Smart Home research by focusing on the development of technology infrastructures. You can learn more about our research and training goals here.

Upcoming Project Events

Throughout the 4 years life-span of the project, we aim to host various events that can faciliate specialised research training for our 15 ESRS. CERTH will host the next upcoming training event, which will be held in Thessaloniki, Greece from 13th September - 16th September 2016.

ACROSSING

Welcome to ACROSSING - an innovative research training network funded by the EU H2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme which aims to change the way millions of the older people in Europe live and maintain wellbeing. The project aims to make a critical contribution towards an open smart home technology infrastructure by interlinking disciplines from sensing technologies, context inferences and interaction and considering key principles of social impact, ethics, security and privacy.

Scientific target:

Develop technologies for smart-home based assisted living, including 4 specialised technology infrastructures, a shared experiment data repository and guidelines for smart home development based on best-practice demonstrators.

Training target:

Educate 15 ESRs in multi-disciplinary, transferable skills to become future research leaders in assisted living and create networks for future collaborations among partners.

Social target:

Increase European innovation capacity and competitiveness in smart home technology through the collaboration of industry and academia by integrating 4 ICT-driven application demonstrators as best-practice examples for the envisioned open SH technology infrastructure.

ACROSSING Secondment: De Monfort University

ESR Eduardo Machado completed his latest secondment in De Montfort University. Our ESR 14 is investigating on adaptive user interfaces to help older people in Smart Home environment. During the secondment, he had the opportunity to present his recent work at the Symposium on Smart Healthcare and Innovation at DMU. A computational framework that combine eye features metrics and machine learning algorithms enabling the assessment of user cognitive load.
