Estado proyecto 27: On going

This Action Plan aims to transmit the knowledge, technologies, developments and results of the Project to current and future professionals of the Sudoe. A transnational and interuniversity postgraduate course (hereinafter the Course) will be promoted to train professionals with a highly multidisciplinary profile in a variety of essential WSN technologies such as Sensor Science and Technology, Intelligent Devices and Systems, Wireless Technologies, Energy Microgeneration Technologies, Data Science and Technology, Cloud Technologies, Artificial Intelligence and others. The Course will show how to integrate these technologies into WSNs and how to adapt WSNs to local contexts so that their implementation, operation and maintenance is economically viable and sustainable over time. It will also show examples of applications from WSNs to environmental risk management in rural areas. The format of the Course will be that of ONLINE MASIVO and OPEN COURSE (MOOC), in which the consortium has previous experience; for example, the MOOC in “Low-cost sensors for air quality monitoring” of the NanoSen-AQM (Interreg V-B Sudoe) project. Two editions of the MOOC will be held in years 2 and 3 of the Project and the final version will be delivered in month 34. The University of Coimbra (FCTUC/DEI) will lead the Action Plan in which the beneficiary universities (B6, B8 and B9) and partners (A4) of the Project will participate. The R & D centres (B1, B2, B3, B11 and B12) will collaborate in the preparation of the Action Plan and provide training in the Course. CSIC and CNRS have a wide territorial implementation in ES and FR, share mixed centers and associated units with national universities and maintain collaborations with universities in other countries. This will make it possible to expand the number of participating universities and extend the scope of the Course to other regions of the Sudoe, as well as to other EU countries.

This Action Plan aims to promote the implementation of WSN in municipal action plans and self-protection against forest fires (PAMIF and PAIF) in the Sudoe. The municipalities of the pilot areas of Spain and Portugal will draw up plans to implement the WSNs in PAMIF and PAIF in the municipalities. This will be supported by own knowledge and experience in the application of technology in other areas (e.g. air quality), as well as on the knowledge and experience provided by the Project (GT3 and R3.1). The municipalities will establish the specific objectives of the plan, the municipal services that will be involved in its implementation, the chain of command and operations and the protocols of action. They will determine the material and human resources, infrastructures, equipment and training and training of the equipment necessary for the integration of WSNs. They will assess costs and identify sources of funding. The municipalities shall submit the plans to the competent higher authority, which shall decide on them. These are the Agência para a Gestão Integrada de Fogos Rurais (AGIF) of Portugal and the Directorate-General for Forest Policy of the Autonomous Communities in Spain. Public administrations and agencies will decide on the convenience/need to strengthen prevention and early detection in forest fire defence policies in the Sudoe. They will assess the advantages and benefits of the application of wireless sensor networks to forest fire management. JCYL DG Cultural Heritage will lead this realisation in which all the administrations and public agencies participating in the Project will participate.
