Implementation time span : 2016-2019
Total budget : 2528630,63 Euro
Call : Horizon 2020 Comisia Europeana
As Partner

The overall objective of FLOOD-serv is to develop and to provide a pro-active and personalised citizen-centric public service application that will enhance the involvement of the citizen and will harness the collaborative power of ICT networks (networks of people, of knowledge, of sensors) to raise awareness on flood risks and to enable collective risk mitigation solutions and response actions. Other general objectives are: 1. Empowering local communities to directly participate in the design of emergency services dealing with floods mitigation actions. 2. Harness the power of new technologies, such as social media, and mobile technologies to increase the efficiency of public administrations in raising public awareness and education regarding floods risks, effects and impact. 3. Encourage the development and implementation of long-term, cost-effective and environmentally sound mitigation actions related to floods though an ICT-enabled cooperation and collaboration of all stakeholders: government, private sector, NGOs and other civil society organizations as well as citizens.

Project name : Smart Toolbox for Engaging Citizens into a People-Centric Observation Web SCENT
Implementation time span : 2016-2019
Total budget : 3264675,00Euro
Call : Horizon 2020- Comisia Europeana
As Partner

Whilst citizen participation in environmental policy making is still in its infancy, there are signs of a growing level of interest. The majority of citizens, though, both as individuals and as groups often feel disengaged from influencing environmental policies. They also remain unaware of publicly available information, such as the GEOSS or Copernicus initiatives. The SCENT project will alleviate this barrier. It will enable citizens to become the ‘eyes’ of the policy makers by monitoring landcover/ use changes in their everyday activities. This is done through a constellation of smart collaborative technologies delivered by the SCENT toolbox in TRLs 6-8: i) low-cost and portable data collection tools, ii) an innovative crowd-sourcing platform, iii) serious gaming applications for a large-scale image collection and semantic annotation, iv) a powerful machine learning based intelligence engine for image and text classification, v) an authoring tool for an easy customization by policy makers, vi) numerical models for mapping land-cover changes to quantifiable impact on flood risks and vii) a harmonization platform, consolidating data and adding it to GEOSS and national repositories as OGC-based observations. SCENT will be evaluated in two large scale demonstrations in Kifisos Attica and Danube Delta. Our consortium covers the complete stakeholder chain: industries in machine learning (IBM), SMEs in crowd-sourcing (U-Hopper), gaming (Xteam) and awareness raising (Carr), leading research institutes with expertise in hydrodynamic modelling (UNESCO-IHE), data harmonization and authoring tools (ICCS) and environmental monitoring (DDNI), NGOs at the pilot sites (HRTA, SOR) and policy makers/public bodies (Region of Attica). The SCENT initiative will go beyond the current project and form a Europeanwide citizen movement, created and fostered by the SCENT stakeholders that will ensure its sustainability and its complementarity with existing citizen partnerships.

Dr. Mihai Marinov (specialist în ornitologie, ecologie, zoonoze în care sunt implicate păsările și mamiferele, ecologie și Natura 2000) a terminat facultatea de Ecologie, în profilul de Biologice cu specializarea Ecologie, în anul 2002. În anul 2012 a susținut public teza de doctorat cu titlul ”Ornitofauna Rezervației Biosferei Delta Dunării și implicația acesteia în transmiterea virusului West Nile”, la București în cadrul Universității din București, în urma căreia obține titlul de doctor în Biologie. Lucrează în cadrul Institutului Național Delta Dunării din anul 2003, inițial în Departamentul de Biodiversitate (echipele de ornitologie și resurse cinegetice) iar din anul 2016 conduce Departamentul Centrul pentru Studiul Bolilor Transfrontaliere, Emergente si Zoonozelor. Principalele sale interese de cercetare sunt ecologia ornitofaunei din România, zoonozele în care sunt implicate păsările și mamiferele din Delta Dunării, resursele cinegetice și implementarea Rețelei Natura 2000 în România. Din perspectiva Departamentului pe care îl conduce, din anul 2005 și până în prezent cercetează ecologia virusului West Nile în colaborare cu Instituții din România, Franța, Austria, Spania, Italia, Republica Cehă, Marea Britanie și Ungaria (proiecte precum EDEN – FP6, EDENext – FP7, ROVETNILE – Biotech). Din perspectiva cercetării virusului West Nile, pe lângă investigații asupra speciilor rezervor și a vectorilor se ocupă și de realizarea de modele de prognozare a infecțiilor cu virusul studiat. Împreună cu colaboratorii a identificat speciile de păsări implicate în transmiterea virusului West Nile respectiv a identificat pentru prima dată în Europa prezența virusului West Nile într-o specie de Ixodidae. Actualmente, împreună cu instituții partenere din România lucrează la modelarea epidemiologie virusului West Nile prin monitorizare cu ajutorul dronelor (proiectul WNV-RPAS – PN II) respective instruiește doctoranzi din România și Serbia în domeniul tehnicilor de recoltare de material biologic și ecologia agenților patogeni din zone umede (proiectul AMSAR – SCOPE finanțare elvețiană). Pe lângă studiul virusului West Nile sunt realizate sau vizate studii, cercetări și proiecte cu privire la Pesta Porcină Africană, Boala Carre, Hepatita E, Gripa Aviară, Trichineloza, Encefalita de căpuşă, Febra hemoragică Crimeea-Congo, Febra hemoragică Dengue, Febra hemoragică Chikungunya ș.a.

PhD Mihai Marinov (specialist in ornithology, ecology, zoonosys in which are involved birds and mammals, ecology, mammalogy) has graduated in 2002 Faculty of Biology, Biology profile, Ecology Specialization. In 2012 he defended his PhD thesis entitled “The ornithofauna of Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve and its implication in the transmission of West Nile virus” at the University of Bucharest, after which obtained a PhD in Biology. He is working in the Danube Delta National Institute since 2003, initially in the Department of Biodiversity (Irnithology and Hunting and Game species teams) and from 2016 leads the Centre for the study of transborder and emergent diseases and zoonosys. His main research interests are ecology of birds, zoonosys involving birds and mammals in the Danube Delta, wildlife resources and implementation of the Natura 2000 Network in Romania. From the perspective of the Department he leads, since 2005 until now, he investigates the ecology of West Nile virus in co-operation with institutions from Romania, France, Austria, Spain, Italy, Czech Republic, Great Britain and Hungary (projects such as EDEN – FP6, EDENext – FP7, ROVETNILE – Biotech). From the perspective of West Nile virus research, in addition to investigations of reservoir and vector species, he deals with making forecasting models of infections with the studied virus. Together with collaborators he identified the bird species most involved in the transmission of West Nile virus, respectively, identifying for the first time in Europe the presence of West Nile virus in a species of Ixodidae. Currently, together with partner institutions in Romania he is working on modelling the epidemiology of West Nile virus by monitoring using drones (project WNV-PSUR – PN II), respectively, he trains PhD students from Romania and Serbia in techniques for harvesting biological material and ecology of pathogens in wet areas (AMSAR project – Swiss finance SCOPE). Besides the study of West Nile virus are conducted or targeted studies, research and projects on the African swine fever, distemper, hepatitis E, Avian Influenza, trichinosis, Tick borne encephalitis, hemorrhagic fever Crimean-Congo, haemorrhagic fever Dengue, hemorrhagic fever Chikungunya etc.
