These issues pose significant challenges for designing and managing the human environment in a sustainable manner. Even though there is significant research on the development of Wireless Sensor Networks technologies and on Civil Infrastructure Reliability and Management, most of the research activity is fragmented and there is not any significant activity in performing multidisciplinary, intersectoral structured research for developing integrated smart and dynamic systems for effective management of the built and natural environment.
The aim of the ‘SmartEN’ ITN is to fill this technology gap and push innovation through the development of an initial research and training network that will focus its activities on the development, effective integration and increased utilisation of emerging technologies in wireless sensors, communications and proactive management, targeting key issues of current interest to the European Union and internationally.
