Lietuvos mokslininkai aktyviai dalyvauja tarptautiniuose projektuose

Abstract

Tarptautinis bendradarbiavimas mokslo srityje suteikia galimybę dalintis įgytomis žiniomis ir kompetencijomis, generuoti ir įgyvendinti turimas idėjas bei naujas iniciatyvas, siekiant atrasti geriausius sprendinius ir sukurti visuomenei naudingus įrankius ar paslaugas.

VGTU Road Research Institute have been actively involved in national and international projects for several years already Project FOX - Forever Open infrastructure across (X) all transport modes, project USE-IT - Users, Safety, security and Energy in Transport infrastructure, project SKILLFUL - Skills and competences development of future transportation professionals at all levels - are European Union (EU) projects funded by Horizon 2020, in which VGTU Road Research Institute have participated. At the beginning of 2019, two European Union projects started - BE-OPEN - European forum and oBsErvatory for OPEN science in transport and RIMA - Inspection and maintenance of infrastructure using robotics, where VGTU Road Research Institute with other EU partners are involved. Open Science is a modern movement that represents a new approach to practicing science, in a way that increases openness, integrity and reproducibility of research. It aims at making scientific process and results more transparent and accessible at all levels and to everyone. The rapid growth of digital technologies and new collaborative tools become enablers of Open Science, allowing to speed up the process of adopting open habits and facilitating the sharing of large volumes of information, study materials and data. As the way in which science and research are carried out has changed, BE-OPEN project aims to assist in operationalising Open Science in transport research at the European level, through a series of targeted coordination and support activities. Inspection and Maintenance (I&M) represents a huge economic activity spanning across sectors such as energy, transport and civil engineering. EU hosts over 50% of l&M robotics offer but there is a bottleneck connecting it to the market and high potential applications. RIMA Robotics for Inspection and Maintenance is a 4-year H2020 funded project that aims to establish a network of 13 Digital Innovation Hubs (DIH) on robotics sharing best practices and providing services to facilitate uptake of l&M technologies. RIMA will offer services including support to testing and technology transfer, coaching and training on robotics for l&M, process optimization and communication.
