\nAbstract<\/strong>:<\/span> One of today\u2019s greatest problems is the quality of the air we breathe, both outdoors and indoors, and especially in high occupancy public and commercial buildings. According to WHO and the Global Health Observatory, approximately 7 million people die each year from exposure to poor air quality conditions. At the same time, there is a significant lack of infrastructure and active solutions for the monitoring of indoor environment and the generation of actionable insights in terms of impact on occupants\u2019 health. An interesting notion is that the mortality rate of COVID-19 could have been far lower, and the annual welfare losses (~\u20ac600 billion) across EU countries could have been significantly reduced if measures were already in place for the monitoring and control of the IAQ conditions. Such measures would have achieved a low transmissibility level of the virus in high occupancy, high risk indoor spaces. To tackle this problem, it is essential to implement a multidisciplinary approach that combines the areas of exposure science, environmental monitoring, machine-learning based monitoring and event diagnosis, ICT and real domain challenges.<\/p>\nWorkshop 3<\/h3>\n

\nAbstract<\/strong>:<\/span> Smart technologies, which incorporate advanced communication and information technologies, are currently playing a vital role in many of the operations of the Electrical Power and Energy ystems (EPES). The monolithic vertical model of such systems was progressively transformed into new, decentralized model with multiple stakeholders and actors and with recognized benefits for this energy vertical, such as adoption of sustainable distributed renewable power generation, pervasive control, remote monitoring, and self-healing, among many others. However, the growing number of cybersecurity incidents in EPES promotes the need for shielding against a variety of threats, ranging from cyberattacks, dynamic and evolving Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), and privacy violations, to electricity disturbances and severe human errors caused by lack of relevant training. The diverse threats that modern EPES are facing requires an integrated and holistic approach for continuously assessing the dynamic EPES environment while ensuring compliance with the latest cybersecurity standards.<\/p>\nWorkshop 4<\/h3>\n

\nAbstract<\/strong>:<\/span> The workshop presentations have the goal of disseminating the results of a research project that had as goal to introduce new methodologies and technologies in the traditional sector of Ceramics. The referred project aimed to establish the production conditions that will allow GRESTEL to worldwide launch a range of innovative products in fine stoneware tableware as a result of the combination of different Ceramics 4.0 technologies of the industrial value chain. The project consortium is composed by an industrial company GRESTEL – PRODUTOS CER\u00c2MICOS S.A, by two entities of the scientific Portuguese system, the Polytechnic institute of Bragan\u00e7a (IPB) and the Polytechnic institute of Leiria, and also the Research Group from Limerick School of Art & Design of the Limerick Institute of Technology (Ireland). The described workshop will have the participation of the referred project partners, that will, not only discuss the obtained results, but will also launch the foundations for future work.<\/p>\nWorkshop 5<\/a><\/h3>\n
