Open Data and Government Transparency: Route-To-PA
The ROUTE-TO-PA project – Raising Open and User-friendly Transparency-Enabling Technologies for Public Administrations – aims at improving the engagement of citizens by making them able to socially interact over open data, by forming or joining existing online communities that share common interest and discuss common issues. Central to this project was the use of collective intelligence methods to consult with key stakeholders in the design of the new technologies.

Marine Ecosystem Sustainability: Sea for Society
Sea for Society (SFS) is a European Project funded by DG Research & Innovation under the Theme Science in Society. The project engages stakeholders, citizens and youth in an open and participatory dialogue to share knowledge, forge partnerships and empower actors on societal issues related to Ocean. In doing so, the project aims to develop and enrich the concept of “Blue Society”, preparing at the same time mechanisms for cooperation. Again, our collective intelligence approach has been central to the work on this projects.

Advancing Literacy Skills in Children: Q-tales
The Q-tales projects is focused on creating a unique web and mobile children book platform, through which ebook and app creators will be able to exhibit their work, find partners, collaborate in creating unique bundled products and receive feedback on their work by experts such as educators, developmental psychology experts and publishers – having always in mind that they serve the rich and indispensable European heritage in children literature and children education themes.

Personalised nutrition for the future: INCluSilver
INCluSilver aims to support collaboration between actors belonging to different sectors in order to create the optimal conditions for generating and validating innovative ideas in the field of personalised nutrition for the Silver Economy that have great potential to reach the market. The INCluSilver project aims to support collaboration between actors in different sectors to bring innovative ideas in the field of personalised nutrition for the silver population. An Innovation Voucher Scheme was developed using collective intelligence methods, with a total budget of €2.800.000 allocated to SMEs across Europe.

Improving public services with multidimensional statistical data: OpenGovIntelligence
OpenGovIntelligence was a three year project in the EU Horizon 2020 programme, that finished in January 2019. We created a methodology and software tools for developing co-created data-driven public services, tested and demonstrated in a series of pilot projects.

Atlantic Area Healthy Food Eco-System (AHFES)
AHFES is a European project funded by the Atlantic Area programme. The project
aims to improve the overall competitiveness and growth of SMEs in the value chain of
healthy food & lifestyles by contributing to enhancing a transnational innovation
ecosystem that helps SMEs access knowledge, partners and markets and align their
products and services to consumer needs and expectations. The project will support sustainable growth of the healthy food & lifestyle sector and SMEs – key actors of the EU common market – by achieving a quadruple helix ecosystem (public authorities, industry, academia and citizens) in support of SME competitiveness.

PvSTATEM – New tools for the control and elimination of P. vivax malaria
Malaria eradication requires addressing all malaria species, including P. vivax that resists elimination efforts because of its dormant liver forms (“hypnozoites”). These forms cannot be detected with traditional methods, but they can reactivate (“relapse infection”) causing illness and new transmission from people to mosquitoes. The P. vivax Serological Testing and Treatment in Ethiopia and Madagascar (PvSTATEM) project aims to address this challenge. We have developed a diagnostic test to identify people likely to carry hypnozoites. These people can be targeted for treatment with primaquine to clear hyponzoites and prevent relapse infection. This combination of a novel diagnostic test and primaquine treatment provides a new intervention for malaria control and elimination. PvSTATEM aims to identify and treat malaria infected people, before they develop symptoms, to prevent transmission of P. vivax malaria. The consortium plans to assess the efficacy, safety, and acceptability of this intervention (objectives 1 & 2), as well as to develop digital approaches for better implementation (objective 3) and machine learning tools for malaria surveillance at the level of entire populations (objective 4).
