Preparation of Horizon Europe Proposals

The next batch ofHorizon Europe calls for proposals are due in September 2024. Our team is eagerly preparing to contribute innovative and impactful projects for these upcoming calls. Stay tuned for updates on our progress and collaborations in this exciting journey towards advancing European research and innovation.

Virtual Center of Excellence in 4 areas

Humanist is an international association of research organizations, created in 2007 in Lyon, France and labelled as a Virtual Center of Excellence. It is composed of 17 European Members - universities, research institutes and research intensive companies. Humanist integrates knowledge and expertise to federate research through Europe in four main areas. Humanist is based on strong member commitment and interest and members undertake research in the following areas and in the interaction between them. 
The choice of activities is determined by the needs and interests of members. As a general rule, all Humanist activities involve the active cooperation of at least three members.

Human Machine Interaction

Research on human-machine interaction is crucial as it enhances the usability and effectiveness of technology, making it more intuitive and accessible for people from diverse backgrounds and abilities.

Human Behviour in Traffic

Over the last decades, human behaviour in traffic has been investigated and several efficient methodologies have been developed. But the transport environment is changing quite quickly due to implementation of innovative technologies.

Intelligent Transportation Systems

improving traffic efficiency and safety for reducing environmental impact, and enhancing the mobility of people and goods in increasingly congested urban environments.

Vehicle Automation

Vehicle automation is a promising development for the mobility of the future, in particular given its potential to reduce road crashes that are due to human errors. However, given the novelty of the technology there is a risk that new types of road crashes may emerge, based on unforeseen interactions between vehicles and drivers.
