HiDALGO2 - Urban Air Project (2023-2026)
HPC and Big Data Technologies for Global Challenges (HiDALGO2) is a Horizon Europe project with the participation of 9 institutions from 7 countries.
HiDALGO2 aims to explore synergies between modelling, data acquisition, simulation, data analysis and visualisation along with achieving better scalability on current and future HPC and AI infrastructures to deliver highly-scalable solutions that can effectively utilise pre-exascale systems. The project focuses on five use cases from the environmental area: improving air quality in urban agglomerations, energy efficiency of buildings, renewable energy sources, wildfires and meteo-hydrological forecasting.
Our role in the project
The SZE team is a member of the HiDALGO2 Centre of Excellence and is responsible for the data and ethics management. For the technology development of the CoE, SZE is the task leader of the development and provider of the main technology of the HiDALGO2 dashboard and the visualization.
As leader of WP5 Tackling Global Challenges, SZE will coordinate the development and integration of the 5 use cases to the HiDALGO2 platforms and will lead the exploitation of synergies among the HiDALGO2 use cases with development of couplings of simulations and joint research and exploitation.
Within WP5, SZE is developing the Urban Air Project use case, including several service endpoints: Urban Air Quality (UAP.AQ), Comfort (UAP.Comf), Climate (UAP.Clim), Planning (UAP.Plan) and Reporting (UAP.Rep).
