PYTHAGORAS consortium partners applying for PRIMA

Avr 5, 2023 by Jamel ALOUI 0 Comments , , ,

Partners of the Erasmus+ project PYTHAGORAS have submitted a proposal application through the Partnership for Research and Innovation in the Mediterranean Area (PRIMA). The proposal aims to increase strategic crop production in marginal soil and recycle agricultural waste. The proposed technology utilizes plasma treatment and depends on many of the core capabilities that are being developed through PYTHAGORAS. Some of those are digital numerical simulations to optimize plasma treatment and business skills to bring the technology to the relevant stakeholders. The proposal for PRIMA grew from one of the discussed case studies of PYTHAGORAS and it involves partners from all the four countries of PYTHAGORAS (Egypt, Tunisia, Italy and Cyprus). It should be mentioned that the ability to grow crops in a sustainable manner in marginal fields has the potential to increase the arable land and ease food security concerns for the region.

Those modules can stand alone and can be used to update and modernize existing curricula. The education will be applied for solving real life problems with (3 expected) case studies specified from Egypt and Tunisia and with the students presenting a business case on the solutions they developed. The training will be for the next generation of innovators: University graduate and undergraduate students and professionals (target is over 200) and for professors who will be shaping the next generation of students (target 20). The activities also include setting up of interconnected labs and engaging the…

Numerical modelling

Mar 30, 2023 by Jamel ALOUI 0 Comments

Numerical modelling allows for quick and inexpensive testing
without needing to build physical devices, gives insight and understanding into different phenomena, can be used to design products/solutions and can be used to optimize processes. Furthermore in order to create real world solutions and to transform the education, the technical training needs to be coupled with business training. PYTHAGORAS addresses those needs and will provide a total of 8 educational modules (physical and online) covering topics from numerical modelling and design to entrepreneurship and business skills.
