HOLOBALANCE – Plenary meeting 11th and 12th October 2018

The EU-funded Holobalance project aims to develop and validate a new personalised hologram coach platform for virtual coaching, motivation and empowerment of the ageing population with balance disorders. The third plenary meeting was held in Venice, Don Orione, on 11 and 12 October 2018. This meeting was very fruitful, we discussed about holograms, and augmented reality games, along with easy to use sensors, such as smart bracelet, smart glasses and sensorised soles. These will coach the user with specific, individualised exercises, offering new forms of accessible user interaction. The accuracy in performance of the exercises will be measured objectively in real time, through a set of motion capture and wearable sensors. Experts will monitor the status through a visual analytics expert panel. Holobalance integrates research groups, universities and companies from Germany, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Serbia, Switzerland and United Kingdom.

EeMAP – EeDaPP 27th September 2018

The Energy Efficient Mortgages Pilot Scheme Meeting, which took place in Venice in our Sala Goldoni on 27 September 2018, brought together about 80 participants to bring further clarity on how best to ensure a successful deployment of the Energy Efficient Mortgage in the market, by combining market and institutional expertise under the Energy Efficient Mortgages Initiative.
The analysis of the criticalities and the potential solutions, which was conducted by the seven subgroups (Origination/Retail; Risk Management; Marketing ; Funding & Investor relations; Partnerships; IT Solutions & Data; Development of technical expertise) from July to September, was presented to participants as the starting point for the discussion. An interactive discussion took also place during the Energy Efficiency Panel Discussion, giving the audience the opportunity to actively contribute by sharing their views and suggestions.
The Energy Efficient Mortgages Initiative, led by European Mortgage Federation-European Covered Bond Council (EMF-ECBC), is aimed at delivering a standardised European framework and data collection process for energy efficient mortgages, with favourable financing conditions for energy efficient buildings and energy saving renovations. It consists of two parallel projects, the “Energy efficient Mortgages Action Plan” (EeMAP) and the “Energy efficiency Data Portal & Protocol” (EeDaPP), and is funded via the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 Programme.

CERIecon Interreg 20th and 21st September 2018

It is important to provide, at regional level, the right mix of financial and non-financial support to assist entrepreneurs to create new firms.” “And this is the goal of CERIecon. By mid-2019, the project will contribute to a change in the way entrepreneurs are inspired, trained and supported through a balanced package of strategies, actions plans, pilot actions, training, and tools to create new-type comprehensive regional innovation ecosystems in seven Central Europe regions. With their three-step logical project approach (Development – Implementation – Improvement), they want entrepreneurs and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to benefit the most from what they do. But also their regions will benefit because from now on regional smart specialisation strategies will be further used to develop novel technologies, and brilliant products and services for economic and social innovation.
