Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'Today, more than ever, the public demands credible and understandable information about the quality of the environment in which they live or work. However, the environmental parameters monitored by commercial sensors do not give information about pollutants presence but about general state of our surroundings. Accordingly, innovative and multidisciplinary methods are needed to carry out efficient information exchange across the various sectors involved in environmental monitoring. The SENSEIVER (SENSor/transcEIVER) proposal presents a joint effort to reinforce the relevant technical bases by providing excellent training opportunities to young researchers in the following fields: (1) innovative and cost-effective sensors and their fabrication in LTCC (Low-Temperature Co-fired Ceramics) technology, (2) new sensitive materials as coating layers for unique LTCC microsensors platforms, (3) highly energy-efficient UWB (ultra wideband) transceivers compatible with designed LTCC sensors, and (4) intelligent systems for acquisition, processing and displaying data relevant to soil, air and water quality. ITN is composed of five outstanding academic/research participants, three leading industrial partners (SMEs) and three associated partners, from six countries. This training network has significant potential to improve career perspectives of 19 early-stage and 6 experienced researchers from partnering institutions and to spread expertise, knowledge and skills to wider scientific, engineering and environmental communities. Moreover, this ITN will expose all participants to complementary schools of thought that will initiate research in new areas and new topics within curriculum, giving it fresh perspective to the market oriented applications of designed materials, sensors and transceivers.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
EU-funded scientists are paving the way for a European network to provide excellent training opportunities to young researchers in the field of wireless sensors and transceivers.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
Current commercial sensors do not offer specific information about pollutants but provide general environmental parameters of their surroundings. Accordingly, innovative and multidisciplinary methods are required for efficient information exchange across the various sectors of environmental monitoring.
The EU-funded http://senseiver.com/ (SENSEIVER) project presents a joint effort to reinforce the relevant technical bases with requisite training on new sensors, materials, transceivers and data acquisition systems. Their aim is to design and develop environmental monitoring system components that will help provide a sustainable healthy environment.
The initial training will improve the career prospects of early-stage and experienced researchers from partnering institutions. Furthermore, such initiatives will also spread expertise and knowledge to the wider scientific, engineering and environmental communities in a range of different fields.
Researchers will develop innovative sensors with low-temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC) processing, materials sensitive to environmental pollutants, energy-efficient ultra-wideband (UWB) transceivers compatible with LTCC sensors, as well as intelligent systems to obtain and display data relevant to soil and water quality.
Amongst the most important achievements of the project was the selection of pollutant-sensitive coating materials for the electrode and the material for the electrically conductive pastes. Furthermore, wireless gas sensor prototypes have been fabricated.
Researchers also focused on designing a power-efficient wireless impulse-radio (IR) UWB solution for transceivers that is compatible with the designed LTCC sensors. Two low-power microcontroller-based systems have been developed for the wireless sensor network acquisition system. One will measure and acquire data on air relative humidity or temperature and the second one will measure complex impedance.
Project partners have organised a number of network management board meetings, workshops and a summer school. SENSEIVER will pave the way to implementation of a European network for environmental monitoring.
