CODECS
Maximising the CO-benefits of agricultural Digitalisation through conducive digital ECoSystems (HORIZON-CL6-2021-GOVERNANCE-01-22-101060179)
CODECS is a four-year Horizon Europe project that gathers 33 partners all around Europe and which is coordinated by the University of Pisa. The project aims to improve the motivation and the capacity of European farmers to understand and adopt digitalisation as an enabler of sustainable and transformative change.
CODECS will develop, and turn into concepts, methods, tools, evidence, a vision of “sustainable digitalisation” with the goal of improving the collective capacity to understand, assess and foresee the full range of benefits and costs of farm digitalisation, and to build digital ecosystems that maximise the net benefits of digitalisation.
CODECS has established a network of 21 Living Labs, comprised of farmers, knowledge intermediaries, stakeholders, and policymakers, to address emerging agricultural challenges. These Living Labs will take a system-level approach to analyse farms and evaluate the impact of digital technologies on economic, social, and environmental outcomes. By examining the synergies and trade-offs between these different factors, the Living Labs will provide valuable insights to inform policymaking and support sustainable farming practices.
Objetivos generales
The Consortium will work in an integrated manner to achieve the following objectives:
- Mainstreaming the concept of “sustainable digitalisation” in the European AKIS and in the wider policy environments.
- Building the conceptual “system-approach / actor-centred” base for “sustainable digitalisation” of agriculture and a layered cost-benefit assessment framework.
- Analysing, and understanding the implications, of the role of different contexts in the generation of costs and benefits of digitalisation through the analysis of “digital ecosystems”.
- Providing data on the costs and benefits of digitalisation in a variety of European farming contexts, by setting up and carrying out user-friendly assessment methodologies.
- Setting up demonstrations to scale digital technologies adoption.
- Developing evidence-based and future-proof policy tools for a sustainable digitalisation.
Raising awareness and facilitating the uptake of digital technologies for sustainable development through the development of a platform and assessment tools.

LIFE FAGESOS
Phytophthora-induced decline of fagaceae ecosystems in Southern Europe exacerbated by climate change: preserving ecosystem services through improved integrated pest management. (101074466 – LIFE21-CCA-IT5-LIFE FAGESOS)
Plant health and forest decline are nowadays becoming a challenge for conservation of agroforestry systems. To ensure the preservation of these ecosystems it is necessary to improve tools and strategies enhancing their adaptation to the outbreak of Alien Invasive Plant Pathogens caused by climatic change.
Phytophthora diseases are increasing their impact and distribution range in evergreen oak and chestnut ecosystems of the Mediterranean basin, boosted by temperature increase and higher frequency of extreme weather events such as flooding and drought. Scarce public awareness of the problem, severe human impact on forest areas and the new EU regulation on fertilizers, that limits the use of K-phosphonate, the most efficient and ecofriendly molecule to mitigate disease impact, further increase the risk of epidemic spread of these diseases. Challenged Forest Ecosystems need improved tools & strategies to enhance their adaptation to the outlined issue, finally ensuring their preservation as important natural carbon sinks.
Indeed, FAGESOS will introduce tools to contrast diseases and enhance forests’ resilience, by:
• The delivery of regional maps for risk- and impact assessment of Phytophthora diseases in the Mediterranean basin in diverse current and predicted climatic scenarios, as a tool for policy makers and forest managers
• The development, validation, implementation and dissemination of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) protocols, tailored to the specific target ecosystem, including a strictly scheduled use of new biomolecules and microorganisms with proven efficacy. Treatment protocols will be complemented by hygiene measures to prevent disease-spread
• The delivery of fully accessible monitoring protocols, based on validated, innovative models & technologies
• Intense communication, dissemination and capacity building activities, targeting different stakeholders to raise awareness and induce adaption of behaviour The project will be implemented in Italy, Spain and Portugal through a multi-actor approach.
OBJETIVOS GENERALES
LIFE FAGESOS aims to address and remediate the outbreak of Alien Invasive Plant Pathogens, adversely impacting natural and semi-natural Mediterranean Fagaceae forest ecosystems, through the elaboration and implementation of Integrated Pest Management protocols and the use of advanced tools for forecasting and monitoring of these outbreaks.
PAPEL DE LA UNIVERSIDAD DE CÓRDOBA

iMPACt-erosion
Robust and accessible modelling for an effective management of agricultural soil erosion in Europe (HE-MSCA-2021-PF-EF-101062258)
Soil erosion modelling can help define efficient and targeted mitigation strategies by identifying the long-term controlling factors and the areas where, and periods during which, soil is at high risk of erosion. However, to define such strategies, there remains a lack of modelling approaches a) able to provide with longer term baseline information which to measure the success or otherwise of mitigation strategies at the catchment scale and b) accessible and robust enough to be used, understood, and trusted by users with more or less expertise, including researchers, land managers and policy makers. In response, this project will improve the robustness and accessibility of quantitative methods for supporting agricultural land management. For this purpose, we will develop a parsimonious soil erosion model, iMPACt-erosion, to support agricultural land management in Europe at the catchment scale. The development philosophy will be based on three principles: robustness, transparency, and accessibility. For a robust model evaluation, model simulations will be compared to multi-decadal soil loss estimations estimated from fallout radionuclides and tree mound measurements. The model and its code will be easy to read and understand by users with more or less expertise. The model accessibility will be achieved by using interactive Jupyter Notebooks (jupyter.org), a modelling environment that combines executable code, rich media and interactive visualization of data and model results. This translates into a more fluent conversation between the user and the model and an easier exploration of the model results and the impact of possible agricultural management scenarios.
Objetivos generales
- to develop an accessible and transparent soil erosion model, iMPACt-erosion, to support agricultural land management in Europe at the catchment scale.
- to achieve greater confidence in the iMPACt-erosion model predictions by evaluating its performance both in terms of model behaviour, i.e. whether the ‘right’ parameters control the model response, and in simulating observed past changes and their corresponding measured/estimated erosion impacts over time scales that encompass at least several decades.
- to identify soil erosion controlling processes and vulnerable areas and periods to define targeted and effective mitigation strategies until 2100.

LIFE Innocereal EU
Connecting the cereal value chain and creating sustainable certification for carbon neutral production in Europe (101074009-LIFE21-CCM-ES-LIFE Innocereal EU)
This project creates an ecosystem throughout the entire cereal production chain, demonstrating sustainability and competitiveness in all production stages of the flour, malting and baking industries focused on reaching the high sustainable standards of the market.
In the primary sector, the implementation of best agricultural practices (BAP) in different climatic zones and the use of innovative technologies (i.e. precision agriculture, warning systems, NIR technology) among farmers will aim to increase productivity with greater efficiency in the use of nutrients, herbicides and fertilizers and mitigating carbon farming practices (i.e higher carbon sequestration in the soil and lower GHG emissions). In the processing industry, standardized model contracts will be created between the different sectors to ensure a consistent supply to the European market of cereal products that comply with food security standards.
As a result, a low-carbon emission cereals certification system will be created together with a sustainability label “Innocereal EU” that will identify sustainable produced bread, pasta, malt, and beer in the market. All in all, LIFE Innocereal EU breaks through the entire food chain towards digital and sustainable production, mitigating GHGs, ensuring careful traceability and a balanced distribution of wealth.
Objetivos generales
- Connecting all links in the cereal value chain by promoting environmental quality labelling that provides greater added value to the final product (bread, pasta and beer).
- Improve the sustainability of cereal production by implementing BAP and digital agriculture to improve farm management and reduce GHG emissions.

SUNREY
Boosting SUstaiNability, Reliability and EfficiencY of perovskite PV through novel materials and process Engineering – (HORIZON-CL5-2021-D3-03-07-101084422)
13 partners – research institutes, universities, and companies from all over Europe combine their competencies to overcome the drawbacks of perovskite photovoltaics.
SUNREY will be carried out in close cooperation between science and industry, in order to strengthen the innovation of the European industry along the value chain. Our developments will enable the companies of our consortium to improve their capabilities for the fabrication of solar cells, taking another step towards a CO2-neutral future. We are thinking of new applications of such solar modules in micro-electronics for the Internet of Things (IoT) or grid independent power supply of building integrated photovoltaics.
objetivos generales
Sunrey will develop enhanced characterisation and modelling methods including use of electrical impedance spectroscopy coupled with modelling and material characterisation including interaction between environment, materials and structure to better understand degradation pathways and predict lifetime-limiting mechanisms. These models will be linked to accelerated testing regimes and test equipment design to provide the basis for material and device optimisation and for prediction of device and module lifetime. This activity will encompass the influences of module design, encapsulation and barrier properties as well as material design and cell architecture.
SUNREY will perform comprehensive testing and evaluation at laboratory scale including outdoor testing and compliance with the relevant protocols (ISOS), characterisation for reliability and energy yield assessment and generation of data to support performance and lifetime models. Testing will be conducted by an accredited solar PV test lab (AIT) as well as at partner facilities around Europe.
SUNREY will develop comparative, toxicological and environmental impact models, including life cycle assessment and life cycle cost analyses (including decommissioning and disposal) to bring evidence of the low environmental impact and demonstrate better resource efficiency and more efficient circularity than current commercial PV technologies. These will be applied to materials and processes developed in the project, feeding back to the design process to ensure safe and sustainable designs.
SUNREY will develop scaleable processes to implement the new materials, solar cell and module designs with a focus on low-temperature solution-based processes that can be applied to a range of substrates such as flexible. The development of tuneable charge transport layers meets an important requirement for fully exploiting bandgap tuneability of perovskites. This will open up new applications with targeted markets including utility-scale panels, IoT and MicroPower, Independent Power Sources, Building Applied Utility Power (BAPV) Building-Integrated Photovoltaics.

SYLVA
A SYstem for reaL-time obserVation of Aeroallergens (HORIZON-CL6-2022-GOVERNANCE-01-07-101086109)
Primary biological aerosols (bioaerosols, mainly pollen and fungal spores, but also bacteria and viruses) released into the air by plants, fungi, and other biota, are strongly impacted by climate change. Simultaneously, they also directly affect the climate through interactions with clouds and precipitation. Many bioaerosols, especially pollen and some fungal spores, have allergenic effect on humans. Such aeroallergens affect over 80 million Europeans, reducing their quality of life and costing well over €50 billion/year. Information on bioaerosols is also vital for agriculture and forestry, where timely data about plant development, abundance of pathogens and parasites, as well as invasive species, are necessary for precision-agriculture and knowledge-based technologies. The demand for timely, free, and objective information is currently not met.
The overall goal of SYLVA is to achieve a radical improvement and fill gaps in temporal resolution, timeliness, coverage, and availability of information about aeroallergens and other bioaerosols. SYLVA technological innovations will be accompanied with new infrastructure, distribution and exploitation pathways, and links with stakeholders to ensure technology uptake and sustainability beyond the lifetime of the project.
objetivos generales
The main goal of SYLVA is to improve the resolution, coverage and availability of information about bioaerosols in Europe, especially pollen and fungal spores. This goal will be reached by the development and improvement in several fields:
– Develop cutting-edge bioaerosol monitoring technologies
– Extend bioaerosol monitoring data infrastructure and software accessibility, ensuring open-source publication and integration into the European environmental observing system.
– Validate the operational maturity and added-value of bioaerosol monitoring technology through Demonstration Pilots in three European regions
– Maximize impact and to ensure the long-term time series by demonstrating SYLVA innovations to key stakeholders related to climate, health, agriculture, silviculture, and the environment
– Ensure the long-term sustainability of bioaerosol technology and infrastructure across Europe

DigiPatch
DigiPatch: Moving from networked to patchworked society: motivational underpinnings and societal consequences (ERA-NET CHANSE-518/PCI2022-135090-2).
The rise of digitalization, specifically digital media use, provides people with expanded possibilities in terms of informing and expressing themselves, as well as sharing their opinions and communicating with each other, and thus enables them to develop new and multiple social ties. While it may strengthen democratic processes, it also has a dark side. To begin with, digital media has weakened traditional media and thus hollowed out the“common space” that it used to provide, where people from different parts of society and with different backgrounds could be exposed to and learn about each other, as well as obtain verified news reports about politics and society. Equally important, on digital media, misinformation and intentionally false and/or misleading information abound and are often used strategically in a targeted manner to cause maximum impact. Digital media usage has also made it easier than ever for people to find information that confirms their already firmly held beliefs and strengthen their current identities rather than inform them. These processes may drive the irruption of various kinds of (micro)identities, i.e., closed (micro)groups with strong identities, strong in-group ties, their own epistemic realities, and full endorsement of their ideology and activities. Additionally, the strengthening of commitments in self-governed groups may manifest itself in in-group self-determination, based on narrow micro-identities, at the expense of society at large, which hampers efforts to deal effectively with the societal challenges Europe is facing, and undermines democracy. Despite much research on how digitalization shapes society, in domains such as security and marketing, much less is known about the impact of digital media use in the social sphere. In addition, the role of the socio-cognitive and cultural underpinnings of digitalization-related phenomena is rarely considered. Hence, the role of digital media use in social and cultural transformation is far from being fully described or adequately understood.
objetivos generales
The main aim of the project is threefold. It will:
- investigate how digital media creates conditions for cultural and societal change from a traditionally networked society to a rigidly ‘patchwork’ one.
- find out why this occurs, with a focus on cultural factors, and the socio-cognitive processes of individuals.
- outline what the potential societal consequences of these processes are.
papel de la universidad de córdoba
UCO leads Work Package 5 (WP5) entitled <<Computer modelling of the formation of closed micro-identities and its attendant processes>>. (led by the Spanish partner). WP5 will be developed to model the formation of closed (micro)identities via digital media use. For this purpose, different methodologies for extracting and aggregating information from survey data will be used, including SEM modelling, pattern mining techniques, cluster analysis, and network analysis.
Also, UCO contributes in other packages such as WP1 Three-wave panel survey, WP3 Semi-intervention on adolescent samples and WP4 Political and cultural analysis.
