Large Scale Pilots Programme

The EU-funded IoT Large-Scale Pilots Programme (LSP) comprises a total of seven innovation consortia (5 LSPs and 2 Communication Support Actions), working hand in hand to foster the uptake of Internet of Things (IoT) in industrial sectors in Europe and beyond within the European IoT Pilot working group.

By addressing both societal and industrial challenges through IoT, the LSP seeks to improve the competitiveness of Europe at the global level, while increasing the quality of life of its citizens. IoF2020 is part of the LSP and collaborates closely with its sister projects to achieving the programme’s objectives. Below you can find more information on the other LSP innovation consortia.

U4IoT

U4IoT (User Engagement for Large Scale Pilots in the Internet of Things) brings together 9 partners from 5 European countries. The objectives are to develop a toolkit for LSP end-user engagement and adoption, including online resources, privacy-compliant crowdsourcing tools, guidelines and an innovative privacy game for personal data protection risk assessment and awareness, as well as online training modules.

The partners provide direct support to mobilize end-user engagement with co-creative workshops and meetups, trainings, Living Labs support, and an online pool of experts to address LSP specific questions. The project analyses societal, ethical and ecological issues and adoption barriers related to the pilots with end-users and makes recommendations for tackling IoT adoption barriers, including educational needs and sustainability models for LSPs and future IoT pilots’ deployment in Europe.

The activities comprise supporting communication, knowledge sharing and dissemination with an online portal and interactive knowledge base gathering the lessons learned, FAQs, tools, solutions and end-user feedbacks.

CREATE-IoT

CREATE-IoT (CRoss fErtilisation through AlignmenT, synchronisation and Exchanges for IoT) brings together 19 partners from 9 European countries. The objectives are to stimulate collaboration between IoT initiatives, foster the take up of IoT in Europe and support the development and growth of IoT ecosystems based on open technologies and platforms.

This requires synchronisation and alignment on strategic and operational terms through frequent, multi-directional exchanges between the various activities under the IoT Focus Areas (FAs). It addresses cross fertilisation of the various IoT Large Scale Pilots (LSPs) for technological and validation issues of common interest across the various application domains and use cases. The project fosters the exchange on requirements for legal accompanying measures, development of common methodologies and KPIs for design, testing and validation and for success and impact measurement, federation of pilot activities and transfer to other pilot areas, facilitating the access for IoT entrepreneurs/API developers/makers, SMEs, including combination of ICT & Art.

CREATE-IoT builds strong connections with Member States’ initiatives and other initiatives and will transfer learning points to the broader IoT policy framework that includes contractual PPPs (e.g. Big Data, Factories of the Future, 5G-infrastructure), Joint Technology Initiatives (e.g. ECSEL), European Innovation Partnerships (e.g. on Smart Cities) as well as other FAs (e.g. on Autonomous transport).

SynchroniCity

SyncronicCity (SynchroniCity: Delivering an IoT enabled Digital Single Market for Europe and Beyond) brings together 33 partners from 9 European countries and 1 from South Korea with the objective to deliver a Single Digital City Market for Europe by piloting its foundations at scale in 11 reference zones – 8 European cities and 3 more worldwide.

SynchroniCity is working to establish a reference architecture for the envisioned IoT-enabled city market place with identified interoperability points and interfaces and data models for different verticals. This includes tools for co-creation and integration of legacy platforms and IoT devices for urban services and enablers for data discovery, access and licensing lowering the barriers for participation on the market. SynchroniCity pilots these foundations in the reference zones together with a set of citizen-centred services in three high-impact areas, showing the value to cities, businesses and citizens involved, linked directly to the global market.

MONICA

MONICA (Management Of Networked IoT Wearables – Very Large Scale Demonstration of Cultural Societal) brings together 28 partners from 9 European countries with the objective to provide a very large-scale demonstration of multiple existing and new Internet of Things technologies for Smarter Living. The solution will be deployed in six major cities in Europe.

MONICA demonstrates a large-scale IoT ecosystem that uses innovative wearable and portable IoT sensors and actuators with closed-loop back-end services integrated into an interoperable, cloud-based platform capable of offering a multitude of simultaneous, targeted applications. All ecosystems are demonstrated in the scope of large scale city events, but have general applicability for dynamically deploying Smart City applications in many fixed locations such as airports, main traffic arterials, and construction sites. Moreover, it is inherent in the MONICA approach to identify official standardisation potential areas throughout all stages of the project.
