Projects

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

The project builds on the results and novel technology developed in BioStyrene project (ER30) and focuses on extending these results

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.
