International projects

Programme: 6^th Framework Programme

Duration: 1.10.2006 – 30.09.2008

The main objective of the project is to develop a set of indicators capable of describing the degree to which the social impacts of ICT reach a number of exclusion prone social communities, in particular disabled, unemployed, immigrants, and older people and then disseminate knowledge to national and EU stakeholders on the ICT indicators for the exclusion prone communities and to propose policy instrument and technology amendments so that any observed exclusion maybe removed leading to a gradual removal of the obstacles that the exclusion prone communities currently face in enjoying the social benefits of ICT.

ASM has several key responsibilities in the ICT4ALL project:

• Socio-economic analysis: ASM is responsible for creating surveys, collecting data, and developing indicators to assess ICT use and social impact on vulnerable groups.
• Dissemination and Communication: ASM is leading the dissemination and communication activities ensuring the project's findings and recommendations are shared with policymakers and stakeholders at both national and EU levels. Additionally, ASM is involved in organizing workshops and events to raise awareness of the project's findings and its implications for social inclusion​​.

Programme: 7^th Framework Programme

Duration: 1.06.2009 – 31.05.2013

The overall objective of the project is to develop a cost-effective integrated construction process that will enable the maximum capability of industrialisation of components for transport infrastructures (road and pedestrian bridges, underpass, containing walls, acoustic and safety barriers) using polymer based materials (carbon fibre, glass fibre, etc): the Trans-IND System. Project integrates the whole construction process fulfilling users and clients demands addressing their needs and requirements, social acceptance, standardization, on-site needs, nD industrial models, design, procurement, manufacturing process, logistics and assembly/disassembly.

ASM has several key responsibilities in the TRANS-IND project:

• Exploitation: ASM is responsible for development of the exploitation plan, which includes conducting market and impact analysis, assessing the potential for business model applications, and promoting awareness and dissemination of the project results.
• Dissemination, Communication and Commercialization: ASM contributes to analyzing future scenarios for transport infrastructures, helping to define the requirements and demands of the entire value chain. Also it supports the dissemination of knowledge and the awareness plan across stakeholders, ensuring that the project's results are effectively communicated to the relevant audiences​.

Programme: 7^th Framework Programme

Duration: 1.01.2011 – 31.12.2013

The project is an outgrowth of the geo-cluster concept, which was introduced in 2007 in the Scope and Vision document by the European Energy Efficient Buildings Initiative. The geo-cluster map developed under the project is intended to serve as a multidimensional and dynamic tool that will help stakeholders to chart and develop attractive solutions to increase the energy efficiency of buildings according to the specific needs of different EU regions. One of the tasks of the project is to gather information on successful solutions, good practices and barriers accompanying the implementation of energy-efficient solutions in different EU regions.

ASM has several key responsibilities in the GE²0 project:

• Data collection and analysis: ASM is responsible for data collection and analysis, particularly in developing the knowledge repository and geo-cluster mapping tool: analysis of data on energy-efficient technologies and construction methods, contributing to the development of correlation methodologies that link various data layers to identify similarities between geo-clusters.
• Dissemination and Communication: ASM is responsible for dissemination and communication activities within the project helping stakeholders understand the potential for applying energy-efficient technologies across different EU regions​ and fostering collaboration across European regions to achieve the EU's energy goals for 2020 and 2050​​.
