Promote, Mobilize, Reinforce and Integrate Wireless Sensor Networking Research and Researchers: Towards Pervasive Networking of West Balkan Countries and the EU
The overall objective of the project is to improve the research potential and capability of FEEIT and ETF research centres and to develop them into wireless sensor networking centres of excellence capable of driving the research agenda and serving as a seed for development of other similar centres in the region. This will be achieved on one side through an active and organized exchange of researchers and on the other side through exchange of scientific know-how and RTD results at a series of workshops and seminars.
In particular, ProSense focuses on the following goals:
Objective 1: Improve the wireless sensor networking research capacity and capability of two selected WBC centres of excellence in terms of scientific and technical human resources and S&T infrastructure to enable them to drive and actively contribute to this research field.
Objective 2: Promote and reinforce researchers and research institutions from the EU’s convergence regions.
Objective 3: Build a sustainable cooperation framework to support continuous collaboration in the wireless sensor networking research field between research institutions based in the WBC, the EU’s convergence regions and Member States, particularly under the FP7 framework.
Objective 4: Establish means for closer collaborations of the WBC research centres and researchers from the WBC region that have left the region to prevent brain drain and support brain gain.
Objective 5: Disseminate economic and social benefits of potential key applications for the region and identify newly accessible market niches within the EU and WB countries to generate interest and opportunities for the local industry and particularly SMEs.
