Year: 2023 - 2024
The program supports the development of green skills necessary for the food processing companies. In the course of the activity, the updating of the learning content related to the teaching of green skills in higher and vocational education, further and retraining for the development of green skills in order to prepare a workforce with broader knowledge and skills regarding the green economy for the introduction of new technologies and approaches, as well as the updating of professional standards and skill profiles or, if necessary, the creation of new ones, and the further training of vocational teachers-lecturers are supported.
Research grant for young scientist of the Grant Fund
Year: 2023 - 2024
Baltic Chain
Year: 2023 - 2024
BACHA project aims to remind European citizens about an historical event, as an example of Europeanism and intensive work for a better society.
Developing the Action Plan to Foster Baltic Region Innovation Ecosystem in Biotechnology and Synthetic Biology
Year: 2023 - 2024
The BIOCONNECT project aims to help create a more robust, integrated, and inclusive Baltic ecosystem/cluster for biotechnology innovation as one of the key ingredients for the present and future economic competitiveness of the region. A strong and vibrant bioeconomy holds colossal potential to reinforce EU’s focus on sustainability and circularity, ensure a healthier, more active population - as well as pave the way for an exponential cascade of new applications so transformative as to be dubbed the Bio Revolution.
The development of an artificial intelligence-based management system for efficient production logistics in a company
Year: 2023 - 2024
The development project of an artificial intelligence-based management system Chemi-Pharm focuses on organizing and visualizing the company's daily production logistics through a smart artificial intelligence-based management system, which contributes to increasing the production throughput and efficiency of production processes.
A study on the applicability of an artificial intelligence-based optimization model for production processes based on the new planned production unit of Scandinor OÜ
Year: 2023 - 2024
Future-looking network of competencies for emerging education in engineering green industry
Year: 2023 - 2024
Emerging education in the fields of electrical engineering, informatics engineering, ICT and cybersecurity is crucial for addressing the challenges of the Green Deal, initiated by the European Commission. The development of new technologies and systems for transitioning to a green industry requires the preparation of the next generation of professionals and leaders with the knowledge, skills, and values needed to address the complex challenges of sustainable development. The aim of this project is to bring sustainability-focused insights into the study programs of the partner institutions for the sharing of experience, knowledge, best teaching-oriented technology-driven education practices, and achievements in electrical engineering and automation, mechatronics, adaptronics, information and communication technologies, informatics engineering, and cybersecurity that correspond to the needs of the green industry. Within this project, the growth of competencies aimed at meeting the demands of the industry in the Baltic and Nordic regions is expected.
Development of a human lipoprotein lipase drug for the treatment of hypertriglyceridemia
Study of Estonian bee bread
Year: 2023 - 2023
The aim of this study is to determine the physico-chemical parameters and the content of selected bioactive substances of bee bread samples collected from different counties of Estonia.
Cellulose based energy harvesting
Year: 2023 - 2023
In the course of the project, the possibilities of using various materials produced by the chemical valorization of cellulose for the collection of electrical energy using the triboelectric method are investigated. In the Laboratory of Biopolymer Technology of Tallinn University of Technology, cellulose derivatives are prepared and nanofibrous non-woven materials are produced from them by electrospinning. The main physical properties of non-woven materials are determined. Project partner RISE constructs triboelectric devices from the non-woven materials and evaluates their ability to produce electricity.
Promoting the novel bio-based materials for the sustainable polymer industry
Year: 2023 - 2023
The project builds on the results and novel technology developed in BioStyrene project (ER30) and focuses on extending these results
Development of a test bench for wheel testing including the associated digital twin
Year: 2023 - 2023
This project is a side project of the superior research project that has been supported by the Estonian Research Council under grant PSG453, "Digital twin for propulsion drive of an autonomous electric vehicle". It is conducted by the TalTech Mechatronics and Autonomous Systems Research Group. So far, the vehicle's drive but not the wheels' properties have been considered for the development of the digital twin. The task of this sub-project is the development of a test bench for wheels with the associated simulation. The influence of the different properties of wheels on the entire vehicle should be simulated as realistically as possible. Additionally, this project includes knowledge exchange and laboratory visits both in Germany and Estonia. The aim is to popularize knowledge among young people, introducing digital twins to aspiring engineers.
