FFN-ii: Location Aware System Deployment in the two Experimental Sites
The objective of this output is to provide information about the various tasks that took place during the 2nd cultivation period (Semesters V-VI) in the two experimental sites of the project aiming to verify the good performance of the e-traps, as well as to test the new functionalities and ensure the good operation of the e-services in the large-area sites. To accomplish the full deployment of the Location Aware (LA) products, the olive and Med e-traps were tested in both sites to satisfy all the evaluation criteria set for the full operation. Noteworthy, the OliveFlyNet was tested in Greece by the Agricultural University of Athens (AUA) and the MedFlyNet in Italy by the University of Molise (UNIMOL). The results for both types of the e-traps tested in the two experimental fields showed very good performance in terms of battery charge level and signal reception.
The e-services of adults’ population distribution map, infestation risk map and spray density map creation were tested by AUA in its experimental site to validate its functionalities in the new environment. A new e-service was developed and tested regarding the automatic digitalization of trees, that is an e-service which facilitates the implementation of the system. An additional e-service which gives the ability to the system to identify the optimum position for placing each trap in each area with olive groves was developed and tested too, so that to rationalize the approaches used. The two new e-services were implemented successfully whereas the updated software was able to produce all the different kind of maps required for the full implementation of the LA e-services.
Finally, a detection and count machine learning test for the case med fruit fly pest was also studied by UNIMOL. Tests related to the automatic recognition of medfly catches in the e-trap were also conducted and showed a very food response.
U-SOLVE - Urban Entrepreneurship Ecosystem Roadmap
This report presents the main results of analyzing the Urban Entrepreneurial Ecosystem (EE) across project
partners, relying on a unique U-SOLVE approach. The analysis relied on secondary data from prior studies and
reports investigating the same issue in each country and primary data collected from ecosystem actors
representing academia, business actors, business support organizations, and NGOs.
Urban entrepreneurial policy for sustainable development in the Mediterranean area
Urban entrepreneurial policy for sustainable development in Cyprus, Greece, Egypt, Palestine and Jordan to foster a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem across Mediterranean urban areas, catalyzing sustainable development, environmental resilience, and social inclusivity.
Euro-Mediterranean Open Innovation Network Handbook development
The experience and the feedback gained from these workshops will be integrated into a “EuroMED Open Innovation Network Handbook” which will be offered to policy makers, intermediaries, and agencies in EU & MPC countries. Correction measures and actions will be integrated for fine-tuning, guiding, or even shifting (if necessary) the delivery mechanism or the nature of services offered addressed. Feasibility and financial sustainability planning including roadmap for post project activities.
MedTOWN Regional Monitoring and Evaluation Report of the Demonstrative Actions
MedTOWN has created a framework for monitoring and evaluating social experimentation. This process was a complex task due to the diversity of social policies in each territory and the lack of regulatory frameworks for Social Solidarity Economy (SSE) and co-production across the six countries. MedTOWN's approach to this challenge was to provide findings that could immediately and practically serve policy-making. This was achieved by evaluating intentional, unintentional, and political changes in local socio-economic resilience.
The current evaluation aims to offer a regional perspective on the MedTOWN project, providing an overall assessment of its achievements, learnings, and findings. It synthesizes research and evaluation conducted by a team of local experts. The evaluation addresses both summative and formative aspects, examining whether the project achieved its goal of demonstrating the value of co-producing public policies with Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) actors. The assessment also aims to provide valuable insights for project actors and stakeholders, emphasizing the interconnected nature of summative and formative dimensions.
Roadmap for mainstreaming EMPHASIS approach/ policy adoption
Policy recommendations in a form of a roadmap will be consolidating key findings taking into consideration the EUROMED region’s Research to Innovation System and identifying commonalities and challenges among participating countries. Areas for cooperation, promotion of cross-border innovation partnerships and innovation support measures will be presented in different aspects of Innovation Policy.
