SmartVitiNet

SmartVitiNet is an EU project funded by the European’s Union’s European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA) for a Smart and Sustainable Drone-assisted Viticulture Excellence Network. The SmartVitiNet project aims to (a) scale up, pilot and bring to the market an innovative holistic phytosanitary and plant protection system based on the use of 🚁 unmanned aerial vehicles, new observational platforms, and new ready-to-use sensors, and (b) establish a Competence Center for Precision Viticulture. The proposed research will not only enable the synergies between members of the quadruple helix, but more importantly, it will utilise their complementary knowledge, experiences, and infrastructure in the specific area to achieve the proposed innovative results. The sustainability of the undertaking will be ensured thanks to the establishment of the Competence Centre for Precision Viticulture which aims to upskill sector professionals, create expert networks, and facilitate permanent flows of knowledge transfer between academia, innovative SMEs, viticulture professionals, and regional authorities to increase sector competitiveness, while enacting EU environmental policies, reducing sector health impact and risks of food pollution. SmartVitiNet is expected to significantly impact regional and EU sectors of Agriculture, Health, Environment, and ICT. 🇪🇺 SmartVitinet is an EU EISMEA-funded project, with 11 partners from 4 EU countries(🇬🇷 Greece, 🇵🇹 Portugal, 🇨🇾 Cyprus, and 🇫🇷 France) 🧩. The implemented concepts and ideas will be deployed in several pilots where the feasibility of the work done will be verified and validated so that it will go beyond a theoretical proposition and be proven worthy of being used in a real-world scenario.
