The project ESPRI-ADEP has developed a procedure for the pseudonymized identification of personal data between the information systems of EU member states. With this procedure, it can be queried whether data on suspicious persons are available within the EU without disclosing the sensitive data themselves (hit/no hit procedure). The innovation: The algorithm is able to find names with a similar spelling as the one in the query, such as Thomas and Tomas, and can, therefore, also be used to identify duplicates in databases.

The ERIC project aims to improve the care of patients before and after intensive medical treatment. Around 2.1 million patients are treated in intensive care units in Germany every year and almost half a million are ventilated. Intensive care treatment often leads to critical and stressful long-term consequences for patients and their relatives. The aim of the project is to apply scientific findings consistently and to connect patients to a new telemedical intensive care network.

In the ESWT (Extra-Corporal Shock Wave Therapy) project, VISCOM collaborating with a broad range of other Fraunhofer institutes (MEVIS, EMI, ITWM and SCAI) on the development of new technologies to make focused ultrasound therapy safer and more gentle. VISCOM’s role in the project is to develop software that can calibrate organ movements caused by breathing.

ethnoArc aims to improve access to the wealth of Europe's ethno-musical cultural heritage. In particular, it wants to contribute to the preservation, connectedness and exploitation of some of the most prestigious traditional sound archives in Europe: in Bucharest, Budapest, Berlin and Geneva.

Standardized communication protocols and technical specifications do require unique descriptions for testing. Scientists of SQC are part of the Special Task Forces (STFs) and Testing Task Forces (TTFs) of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), whose objective it is to define test specifications using TTCN-3 and to maintain TTCN-3.

In the future, selected administrative services in the European Union are to be made digitally available across borders in all Member States in a way that they can be processed online without media discontinuity. In the ACROSS project, methods are being researched and a tool framework developed to guide citizens through these new services in an interactive, user-friendly and easy-to-understand manner - securely and in compliance with data protection laws.

The EU project »DECIDO« aims to enable and improve evidence-based governance within public authorities through the use of innovative methods, tools and data. DECIDO will connect public administrations with the data and computing infrastructure of the European Open Science Cloud, so that public authorities can use the services and the data offered there for their own evidence-based policy-making.

The project GLASS aims to fundamentally improve and automate the administrative processes, service quality and data exchange of public administration.

How can artificial intelligence (AI) become comprehensible for industrial processes? This question is being investigated by the EU-funded project XMANAI (Explainable Manufacturing Artificial Intelligence). Fraunhofer FOKUS participates as a scientific partner for real-time data management.

Everytime we use computers and smartphones, we leave behind personal data on the web - a valuable asset. To enable private individuals to retain ownership and control of their data, the EU wants to create a secure, trustworthy platform for personal data with the Data Vaults project led by Fraunhofer FOKUS DPS.

As part of the European research project ReachOut, a platform for the organization of beta test campaigns for European IT research projects has been created under the project management of Fraunhofer FOKUS. The aim is to ensure the quality and market readiness of new software solutions through the exchange of specialist expertise at European level.

The project “European Security Certification Framework” (EU-SEC) will aim to create a European framework for certification schemes and evaluation concepts to secure cloud infrastructures. EU-SEC will improve the business value as well as the effectiveness and efficiency of existing cloud security certification schemes.
