From June 26-28, 2024, the PETRA Conference took place in Crete, Greece, bringing together experts from various fields to advance assistive technologies aimed at improving the quality of life. This interdisciplinary event addressed critical issues in healthcare, manufacturing, transportation, and more, with a particular focus on sensitive populations like the elderly and those with chronic conditions.
We are excited to announce that our project partners ICCS – NTUA, represented by Ioannis Kavouras, successfully presented the OCEANIDS Data Cubes at PETRA 2024. These Data Cubes are a critical component of the OCEANIDS project, designed to enhance climate resilience in coastal regions through advanced data integration and analysis.
The OCEANIDS Data Cubes facilitate the consumption and interchange of diverse data sources, providing valuable insights for climate risk assessments and decision-making processes. By integrating historical, time-series, and near-real-time data, the Data Cubes support comprehensive climate risk assessments and help in estimating the mitigation of climate change impacts. The presentation highlighted the innovative approach of the OCEANIDS project in supporting European coastal regions in managing climate risks. The project’s Climate Change Risk Assessment Platform and Integrated Earth Observation (EO) and Spatial Data Platform are designed to optimize operations in coastal areas by providing efficient monitoring of socio-economic aspects and supporting reliable decision-making for environmental policies and long-term strategic planning.
We look forward to continuing our journey towards transformative innovations in this field, inspired by the knowledge and connections gained from the PETRA conference. The event provided an excellent platform for sharing insights, fostering collaborations, and exploring new opportunities in assistive and environmental technologies, underscoring the critical role of innovation, sustainability, and inclusivity in advancing these industries.
