Two international research projects that include Polish researchers have won funding under the 2023 CHIST-ERA Call. The Polish researchers in question will be working in Poznań, with a total budget of nearly 1.3 million zlotys.
The call was launched in January this year by the CHIST-ERA (Information and Communication Science and Technologies) network, which supports research in information and communication technologies. It encompassed two research themes: Multidimensional Geographic Information Systems (MultiGIS) and Smart Contracts for Digital Transformation Ecosystems (SmartC).
The call was open to research consortia composed of at least three research teams from at least three and at most six (out of twenty) participating countries, which could submit projects planned over 24 or 36 months. Their joint proposals were evaluated by an international expert team appointed jointly by the research-funding agencies involved.
The CHIST-ERA network selected 9 projects in total: 7 in the MultiGIS area and 2 in the SmartC area.
Two projects involving Polish researchers:
- Wielowymiarowa analiza danych w zarządzaniu ekosystemami rzecznymi z wykorzystaniem automatycznych narzędzi wielkoskalowych [Multidimensional Data Analysis for the Management of River Ecosystems Through Multiscale Automatic Tools], PI of the Polish team: Dr hab. Piotr Matczak, Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, grant: PLN 466,078. Abstract.
- GIS4IoRT: Projekt warstwy oprogramowania o funkcjonalności plug-and-play dla celów integracji danych z robotycznych sensorów z narzędziami GIS w architekturze chmurowej [Development of a Plug-and-Play Middleware for Integrating Robot Sensor Data with GIS Tools in a Cloud Environment], PI of the Polish team: Dr hab. inż. Robert Wrembel, Poznań University of Technology, grant: PLN 810,080. Abstract.
Ranking list
The National Science Centre joined the CHIST-ERA (European Coordinated Research on Long-term Challenges in Information and Communication Sciences & Technologies) network in 2013. To date, in all the calls it has been involved in, funding has been awarded to 25 projects with Polish researchers, including six in which the Polish team has served as the leader of the consortium.
