AUTONOMIC
The Interreg Aurora funded project AUTONOMIC introduces autonomous inspection and monitoring of the environment to promote sustainable development in northern regions. A team of mobile robots navigate in harsh, remote areas of arctic and sub-arctic climates with the aid of intelligent perception and decision making. The robotic system will be equipped with advanced tools enabling […]
WaVes – Smart Innovative Biotechnology from Arctic Plant-Derived Waxes and NanoBiomaterials
The WaVes projects objective is to utilize Arctic spruce and berry waxes, along with extracellular vesicles (EVs), by capturing them from natural sources. Building on the success of the WAX project (Interreg Nord), which analyzed Nordic berry waxes and explored extraction methods, the current WaVes project seeks to develop novel wax- and EV-based biosensors for […]
DSS-oral, Digital support solutions for oral health care
The project addresses the shortage of dental care resources in the Aurora region and strives for improved access to oral healthcare. Public oral healthcare in Scandinavia, particularly in rural and northernmost areas, faces significant challenges due to limited human resources. This scarcity results in delayed treatments of oral diseases and eventually higher treatment costs. Moreover, […]
TRUST
The Interreg Aurora funded project TRUST aims to develop secure, resilient, and scalable wireless networking and detection systems in the Aurora programme area, with a focus on remote and sparsely populated areas. By combining terrestrial and non-terrestrial (satellite) systems, the project enhances real-time data management, resource optimization, and automation in sectors such as manufacturing, supply […]
DeHigh – Demonstrated methodology to transfer sustainable and low risk e-power train concepts
The Interreg Aurora funded project DeHigh aims to support the electrification of utility vehicles in the Interreg Aurora programme area, focusing on industries like forestry, agriculture, and transportation. These sectors, which heavily rely on internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, face increasing sustainability demands, and vehicle electrification is critical to reducing their environmental impacts. However, many […]
MEQAL – Methane Quantization and Localization
Methane is one of the most powerful greenhouse gases, with a much greater short-term warming effect than carbon dioxide. Yet, it’s often hard to detect and quantify, making it difficult to act on emissions. The Interreg Aurora funded project Methane Quantization and Localization (MEQAL) explores how sensor technology and drones can be used to detect […]
ProWater
Photo: Janne-Pekka Manninen The recirculation of industrial side products in wastewater treatment systems and processes has the potential to increase resource efficiency, reduce waste disposal impacts, lower gas emissions, decrease water pollution, and promote a circular economy. Despite its potential, various challenges stand in the way of its realization. The Interreg Aurora funded project ProWater aims […]
Transforming Healthcare Education through XR and AI – XRHealthEdu
The Interreg Aurora funded project Transforming Healthcare Education through XR and AI (XRHealthEdu) aims to revolutionise nursing education by integrating Extended Reality (XR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) into clinical learning environments and supervision. The project aims to provide nursing students and staff with immersive, interactive learning to enhance nursing skills, clinical decision-making, and readiness for […]
FOR-BLEND
The Interreg Aurora funded project FOR-BLEND creates cross-border knowledge networks enhancing the green transition towards a sustainable economy. The project aims to develop a feasible process for managing forest-based residue locally and producing a sustainable fuel blending component. The component is produced by pyrolysis and upgraded. Physical-chemical properties of the component are analyzed and advanced […]
