Cross-border strategies

A Strategy for the Application and Marketing of Residual Biomass By-products and a Strategy for the Development of Transboundary Biorefinery Processes will be developed that will contribute to the output indicator RCO83. These strategies will be critical for the successful transfer of residual biomass by-products to other economic sectors within the area of cooperation of the Sudoe space and for the replication of cross-border processes by other organisations. Regarding the first strategy, it is focused on identifying and promoting the use of the most viable residual biomass by-products in different economic sectors within the Sudoe space. To achieve this, lessons learned and good practices from the pilot actions and previous activities of the project will be collected. This strategy will also establish continuous actions and define the economic sectors with the greatest potential for replicability. Within the framework of the implementation of this strategy, guidance and advice will be provided to entities seeking to market and apply the tested by-products and promote the adoption of public measures in the field of reducing agricultural and forest biomass waste. The second strategy will highlight biorefinery processes that have proven to be effective and efficient in converting residual biomass and that can be replicated by other organisations in the area of cooperation. Companies supplying raw materials and trading companies will be identified in the value chains of the selected sectors in order to promote new transnational partnerships that promote the circular economy in different industries. For the implementation of this strategy, the cross-border matching programme will be organised and policy proposals for cross-border cooperation between public authorities will be made.

Development of tools for breakage detection and Eco-design guide to facilitate remanufacturing

The development of tools for breakage detection and the multi-robot system capable of disassembling and/or preparing the product for reintroduction into the production chain are two of the main expected outcomes of this project. All these efforts will be reflected in pilot actions targeting the footwear industry as the primary audience.

Additionally, an eco-design guide will be created, outlining proposals and protocols for product design and manufacturing to enhance future remanufacturing. This set of guidelines will form a strategy that companies can adopt to improve the circularity of their production, creating more sustainable products. It will also include an action plan with specific steps on how to implement the proposals in this strategy.

Postgraduate course in “Wireless Sensor Networks for Environmental Risk Management”

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.

Application of WSN in municipal action plans and self-protection against forest fires

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.

Method to identify industrial and territorial problems and provide solutions to solve them

The methodology will be built in conjunction with the clusters and incubators of the SCAIRA project and will be validated by the public authorities. It will detail the following steps: the mapping of local ecosystems, the establishment of the database, the organisation of external audits and analyses, the organisation of local workshops, the description of the Design Thinking method and the questionnaire used, the organisation of the final session, as well as the integration of comments from taxpayers and public authorities in terms of the methodology and relevance of the identified challenges. Secondly, the methodology for emerging solutions will also be built in conjunction with incubators and CTAs. It will take the concepts of the Sustainable Innovation Challenge developed by IMT Albi and optimise them to meet SCAIRA’s transnational objectives. This methodology will be tested during GT1 by the 5 incubators in the aeronautical and automotive sectors. It has set a target of 6 industrial and territorial challenges to be identified through the methodology developed, as well as the realisation of 2 emergency events, one in 2024 and the other in 2025. These 2 events will be Hackathons organised in a hybrid way with an event organised in person in one of the Spanish, Portuguese and French incubators. In practice, 3 events will be organised on the same date of 2024 in the facilities of HIESE (Portugal), CEEIM (Spain) and IMT Albi (France) with joint live presentations and a common agenda.
