European Projects
While drawing on the strength of the Xerox Corporation around the world, our focus is on Europe. We work with organisations drawn from the continent and reflect their needs and talents. We cooperate with the scientific community and collaborate with a wide range of European research organisations particularly within the European Community frameworks but also as part of national government initiatives.
Current Projects
Fupol (Future Policy Modelling) FUPOL aims at a completely new approach to traditional politics. Major innovations like multichannel social computing and crowd sourcing will change the way politicians communicate with citizens and enterprises and take decisions.. The FUPOL consortium consists of 17 partners from 9 countries.
ITFoM (IT Future of Medecin Innovation) is an important FET Flagships. FET Flagships are ambitious large-scale, science-driven, research initiatives that aim to achieve a visionary goal. The medicine of the future will increasingly rely on tera- and petabytes of information on each patient generated by high resolution molecular and imaging techniques. In order to make this information accessible to the consenting patient and his doctor, ITFoM will establish the ICT workflows and structures to integrate the analytical and clinical data of the patient into an individualized model of the patient.
GALATEAS (Generalized Analysis of Logs for Automatic Translation and Episodic Analysis of Searches), a project that looks at users query logs analysis in different languages. GALATEAS users will be institutaions having digitalized content like digital libraries but also any content provider on the web (eg merchant site).
ORGANIC LINGUA (Demonstrating the potential of a multilingual Web portal for Sustainable Agricultural & Environmental Education) is an automated multi-lingual service that aims to facilitate the usage, exploitation and extension of digital educational content related to Organic Agriculture and Agroecology.
EuropeanaConnect is a project that will channel digital content from Europe's archives, libraries, museums, and audiovisual collections into Europeana.eu. The technical implementation of EuropeanaConnect will enable the development of an operational Europeana service by April 2011. Europeanna connect is a follow up of the big European initiative of digitizing content form more tha a hundred of European digital libraries. The goal of Europeanna connect is to offer technologies to search, analuyes retrieve etc, content from digitilised material.
Europeana v1.0 is the successor network to the European Digital Library thematic network which created the EDL Foundation and the Europeana prototype. Stakeholders will be involved in Europeana and informed how they can contribute and access content. The work of Europeana v1.0 will include the development and implementation of all the necessary processes to create and run such an operation and a full scale business development operation to ensure a steady stream of content is made available.
EERQI (European Educational Research Quality Indicators): The knowledge triangle - research, education and innovation - is a core factor in Europe’s efforts to meet the ambitious goal of becoming the "most dynamic competitive knowledge-based economy in the world". Educational research has been chosen as an example of research in socially and politically embedded fields within the humanities and social sciences. The goals of the EERQI project are to reinforce and enhance the worldwide visibility and competitiveness of European educational research.
SHAMAN (Sustaining Heritage Access through Multivalent ArchiviNg): The SHAMAN Project is a Large Integrated Project co-financed by the European Union within the Seventh Framework Programme.
This project will develop and test a next generation digital preservation framework including tools for analysing, ingesting, managing, accessing and reusing information objects and data across libraries and archives.
PASCAL2 (Pattern Analysis, Statistical Modelling and Computational Learning): PASCAL is developing the expertise and scientific results that will help create new technologies such as intelligent interfaces and adaptive cognitive systems. To achieve this, it supports and encourages collaboration between experts in Machine Learning, Statistics and Optimization. PASCAL enables Europe to capitalize on its strong research record in the area of principled adaptive systems design.
SYNC3 - What users want: A powerful and simple tool to map the blogosphere. The SYNC3 project is managed by a consortium of companies and organisations with vast experience in semantic analysis, content generation, web-programming, design, and journalism.
SCOOP - project aims at developing an innovative software application dealing with the complete process of search, acquisition, analysis and representation of online opinions.
