Projects

The ALADIN project aims to ensure safer forest firefighting in the future employing demand-oriented 5G networking of emergency forces and response resources. As a first step, a nomadic, i.e. local and temporary, network is being set up at the Schönhagen airfield in Brandenburg. The network will then be used as a basis for controlling unmanned response equipment and monitoring and securing the site of operations.

The European Union currently offers two Open Data portals: the EU Open Data Portal and the European Data Portal. In order to create a central contact point for high-quality data within Europe, both portals are now to be transferred into the joint portal Data.Europa.EU. Fraunhofer FOKUS is developing its technological “heart”.

5G-VICTORI is a large scale EU funded project that aims at validating 5G networks with vertical user cases. Large scale trials for Railway, Energy, Media and Factories of the Future are planned. The testbed infrastructure for the Berlin trials is provided by Fraunhofer FOKUS.

The aim of the project is to digitally complement or even replace classic event formats by using new immersive media formats when physical presence is not possible. The new media formats, include for example 3D audio, 360° videos, light fields and volumetric videos.

The goal of the project is to create innovations, concepts, and energy-efficient solutions addressing the entire video streaming value chain from video creation to processing, delivery, and their usage on consumer devices.

In the EXPAND+ER WB³ project, the vision of educator Otto Herz is applied to the field of vocational education. The technology partners of the BMBF-funded EXPAND+ER WB³ project develop a scalable platform that protects privacy and enables users to search for and receive recommendations for further education courses.

With the Control & Connect project, the project partners aim to promote seamless access to digital educational media for users, e.g., students and teachers, in line with the digitization strategies of the federal and state governments.

In TRIPLEADAPT, an adaptive, interoperable professional education platform will be created via the development of a digital triplet. Digital learning environments will then be extended by learning concepts with the aim of increasing learning success.

The National Education Platform, initiated by the BMBF, aims to provide a technical meta-platform based on open standards that creates the foundation for a interconnected, powerful and interoperable teaching-learning infrastructure. The Common Learning Middleware (CLM) developed by Fraunhofer FOKUS was selected by the BMBF as a prototype of the National Education Platform within the framework of the “mEDUator” project.

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).
