1 Year MARVEL!

It’s been already one whole year since the MARVEL project kicked off and what a year it has been! Our H2020 EU-funded project is planning to put extreme-scale audio and visual data at the service of smart cities, to improve the well being and safety of citizens. Within the first year of collaboration, our consortium partners have made a strong team, which has produced valuable results in terms of researchstakeholder engagement and public awareness regarding the MARVEL activities and finally in terms of tangible outcomes with the release of the Minimum Viable Product of the project.

1 year MARVEL

We are looking forward to the developments that will take place in 2022! We hope that you will keep on following our journey and will share your thoughts along the way in order to make us better and eventually have a final result that will benefit every smart city that will decide to adopt it. Take a look at a few of our latest highlights and make sure to follow us online if you are not already, for more immediate updates!

Latest Highlights

Our community in zenodo is full of research material!

Thanks to the research teams of our partners as well as international collaborations, MARVEL funds have resulted already in 11 papers that were presented in 9 international conferences and workshops, 3 journal publications and 1 special issue! We are so proud of our partners!

19 project deliverables have been submitted for review to the EC!

The first year of any project is traditionally very active, including set-up activities and related deliverables. However, the use of real personal data in the case of MARVEL and the strive to release the project's MVP within a year since we began working made our first year busier than usually. 19 deliverables were completed, 7 of which are available to the public and open for feedback!
