The event was successfully held on Friday, September 27th at the Thessaloniki Concert Hall. Many educational organizations and institutes participated while M4D Group made a strong presence at the Researchers’ Night in Greece! The team brought the colors of tradition with them! The Project Chromata (ΧΡΩΜΑΤΑ) shared a new perspective on the preservation and reuse of our traditional values, through a digital world where cultural heritage is transcribed and projected through 3D virtual spaces. The platform combines artificial intelligence, natural language processing, and computer vision techniques to create virtual environments. Through the 3D virtual spaces of the platform, the visitors explored a new digital world where the cultural heritage is transcribed and displayed traditional customs, such as the “Anastenaria”, the “Kodonofori” and the Thracian wedding. We put on our VR glasses and transformed into inspectors in the Law Game Project. A complete gamified training system for Law Enforcement Agencies to assist them in developing core competencies required for intelligence crime analysis and illegal acts prediction. The system uses the latest advances in Virtual Reality Gaming, Artificial Intelligence, Human Modelling, Emotional Intelligence in Human-Artificial Agent Interaction, Social and Secure Cloud Systems. CDXi Solutions, a spin-off by M4D Group, demonstrated the PathoSAT solution. PathoSAT is a water quality monitoring system which offers an efficient system that utilizes multispectral satellite data and enables regular monitoring of inland water bodies. Satellite data ensures water purity and provides alerts when concentrations exceed normal levels. Visitors participated in a simulation of the process through a camera that monitored a tank of water, detecting contaminants on its surface. We walked through all the dimensions of the construction sector with the ASHVIN Project! An automated system for vision-based 3D inspection for maintenance activities, integrated into a VR environment. Users could remotely navigate the space and identify detected defects in real time. The highlight of the night was our little visitors breaking the dance floor!

EDITED POST We are very excited that this year, the M4D Group of ITI-CERTH will play a leading role in the Core Organizing Group of the RISE-SD 2024 Symposium, which will be held on October 16-17 in Chalkidiki, Greece. Ηaving a leading role in multiple R&D European Projects, we support the research and development in the security sector. The “Research and Innovation Symposium for European Security and Defense 2024” (RISE-SD 2024) is a European Research and Innovation event focused on presenting and demonstrating technologies, frameworks, methodologies and results of EU R&D projects beneficial to end-users in the field of Fighting Crime and Terrorism, Disaster and Crisis Management, Critical Infrastructure Protection, Cybersecurity and Border Management Research among others. Furthermore, Panels & Workshops will be led by experts, EC officers and representatives of R&D projects will be organised focused on specific security and civil protection issues such as the resilience of critical entities, fight against crime etc. What’s more, Speaker Talks by invited speakers and lectures will open the respective sessions of the RISE-SD 2024. Don’t miss the opportunity to join the symposium and be part of the conversation! Stay tuned and register here: https://rise-sd2024.eu Looking forward to seeing you in Chalkidiki! EDITED POST
