Students with visually impairments, especially blind, have difficulties with editing and reading mathematical content, especially 2-dimentional objects such as formulas and mathematical graphics (geometric shapes, function graphs). Teaching methods based on Braille techniques and limited access to many mathematical educational resources make learning mathematics difficult and time-consuming. The results of the published research conducted by IMM in Poland on the needs of computerization of mathematics teaching of the blind and partially sighted students showed that the only non-computerized subjects are the sciences, and the reason for the low results on the matriculation examination in mathematics is, among others, lack of support with ICT tools. The success of the PlatMat educational platform developed in projects preceding the EuroMath project in the EU TellUs Awards competition (2014-2015) disseminating the best innovative ICT solutions for formal education systems in the EU, and the award obtained at the international ITEX 2015 exhibition, confirmed the deficit and needs of this type of solutions in Europe and in the world.The aim of the EuroMath project was to develop, make available under open licenses and disseminate in Europe, innovative specialized ICT tools supporting teachers and students with visual impairments in math lessons and extracurricular activities in mathematics. EuroMath technology combines selected innovative solutions in PlatMat and new functions to cover the identified needs of mathematical inclusive education in Poland, the Netherlands and Ireland. About 100 people took part in the project, including teachers, pupils, students and scientists from 24 educational institutions in Poland, Ireland and the Netherlands (first and second degree schools and universities), as well as education organizers and representatives of bodies and institutions operating in favour of people with disabilities. The following activities were implemented in the project:1. Knowledge about the state and needs of mathematical education of blind and visually impaired students was gathered, especcialy on support with ICT tools, in Poland, the Netherlands, Ireland and in neighboring countries for the purpose of adjusting EuroMath tools to the expectations of target groups. Questionnaire research and literature analysis were carried out. 3 short-term joint staff training events were organized. The final report with conclusions was prepared.2. Based on the state of the art and the IO Report1, the technical and functional assumptions for EuroMath tools were formulated.3. EuroMath tools have been implemented, including:a. EuroMath web application in PL and EN language version with built-in tools for editing and reading math content (4 formula editors, graphics editor, formula navigator, graphics navigator, quiz module, UEB and BNM converters, black and white/Braille printouts and tactile graphics);b. 2 Windows applications: CUBARITHMS i CALCULATOR, (PL, EN);c. portal and repository of open math educational resources (OER) available to users with sight disabilities (PL, EN).5. 3 documentation was developed - technical, functional and functional documentation for the needs of blind users of the EuroMath web application (PL, EN).6. The EuroMath model verification tool was developed and the technical correctness of the model was verified by the Partners.7. The EuroMath valorisation tool was developed and the teachers' valorisation of the EuroMath tools was performed.8. A research tool and a comparative analysis of Braille techniques in the 3 countries of the Partnership were made and a summary report (in EN) was prepared.9. 340 didactic materials and 10 interactive lessons for students and teachers were developed in .docx files, including 140 in Polish, compliant with the Polish core curriculum in mathematics and 210 in English, including 100 compliant with the Irish core curriculum and 110 - with Dutch. Using EuroMath tools, they were converted to the EPUB3 electronic publication standard format and then published in the OER repository. Additionally, a comparative analysis report (from p. 8) was published in the repository, constituting the 351st resource in the repository.10. 42 video tutorials on the use of EuroMath tools and OER were prepared (PL, EN).11. 5 Quick Start Guide brochures for EuroMath tools were prepared (PL, EN).12. Multiplier events were done.Activities in the project were carried out in close cooperation with the educational community in the Partnership countries, and the quality and usefulness of the developed EuroMath tools was assessed by end users as part of verification and valorization tasks.Intellectual outputs obtained during the project:IO1 – Report “A comparative Analysis of ICT Tools and the Mathematical Education of Blind and Visually Impaired people in Ireland, Poland, the Netherlands, and Neighbouring Countries” in 3 language versions (PL, EN, NL) available on the project website https://project.euromath.eu under free Creative Commons open license.IO2 - EuroMath technology model - assumptions (EN, PL) and technical and functional concept in Technical Documentation (EN, PL).IO3 - implemented EuroMath model (PL, EN), including: the EuroMath web application with functional documentation and documentation dedicated for blind users; 2 Windows applications CUBARITHMS and CALCULATOR with manuals; portal (https://www.euromath.eu) supporting the OER repository and communication with the EuroMath web application.

The EUNITY project addresses scope 2 (international dialogue with Japan) of objective DS-05-2016 of the H2020 work programme. This two years project aims at developing and encouraging the dialogue between Europe and Japan on cybersecurity and privacy topics. The partners involved have a long-standing history of research on both topics at the European level, as well as cooperation with Japan. EUNITY has 3 main objectives: 1. Encourage, facilitate and support the ICT dialogue between relevant EU and Japanese stakeholders on matters relating to cybersecurity and privacy research and innovation issues; 2. Identify potential opportunities for future cooperation between European and Japanese research and innovation ecosystems; and 3. Foster and promote European cybersecurity innovation activities and increase the international visibility of EU activities in cybersecurity . To meet these objectives, EUNITY will first gather relevant stakeholders in at least two workshops, one in each geography (EU and JP), taking advantage of co-location with other events as much as possible. It will also thanks to the expertise of its members collect the appropriate existing research agendas, legislations and business practices in Europe and Japan. It will then analyze the information collected to formulate recommendations, including business opportunities and a research agenda. A particular attention will be brought to the similarities of the research and market strategies, as well as the differences that must be taken into account when addressing both markets. EUNITY will operate in close relationship with the European Cyber Security Organization association, the cybersecurity cPPP signatory with the Commission. EUNITY will cover all the constituencies of ECSO (large organizations, SMEs, public bodies, associations, clusters, RTOs) thanks to both the direct participation of its partners to ECSO and to their ties with industry associations, cluster and public bodies.

SISSDEN is a project aimed at improving the cybersecurity posture of EU entities and end users through development of situational awareness and sharing of actionable information. It builds on the experience of Shadowserver, a non-profit organization well known in the security community for its efforts in mitigation of botnet and malware propagation, free of charge victim notification services, and close collaboration with Law Enforcement Agencies, national CERTs, and network providers. The core of SISSDEN is a worldwide sensor network, which will be deployed and operated by the project consortium. This passive threat data collection mechanism will be complemented by behavioral analysis of malware and multiple external data sources. Actionable information produced by SISSDEN will be used for the purposes of no‐cost victim notification and remediation via organizations such as National CERTs, ISPs, hosting providers and Law Enforcement Agencies such as EC3. It will especially benefit SMEs and citizens, which do not have the capability to resist threats alone, allowing them to participate in this global effort, and profit from the improved information processing, analysis and exchange of security intelligence, to effectively prevent and counter security breaches. The main goal of the project is creation of multiple high-quality feeds of actionable security information that will be used for remediation purposes and for proactive tightening of computer defences. This will be achieved through development and deployment of a distributed sensor network based on state-of-the-art honeypot/darknet technologies and creation of a high-throughput data processing center. SISSDEN will provide in-depth analytics on the collected data and develop metrics that will be used to establish the scale of most important security issues in the EU, and impact of the project itself. Finally, a curated reference data set will be created and published to provide a high-value resource.
