**SMARTPOWER** is an innovative clean maritime project that aims to revolutionise how coastal and estuarine ports access renewable energy. The project will design, develop, and demonstrate the UK's first hybrid energy platform that combines **wave and tidal power generation** with **battery storage** and **AI-driven energy management**, creating a modular...

**Future Fuels Training Framework for Clean Maritime** This project will deliver the UK's first national training framework dedicated to low- and zero-emission fuels in the maritime sector. It addresses a growing skills gap in the safe use of alternative fuels such as hydrogen, methanol, ammonia, and hybrid-electric propulsion. Led by a consortium of mari...

Phase 2 of KUDATA will continue to develop an innovative digital twin platform that transforms public transport planning by enabling data-driven decisions that balance operational efficiency with social equity. Building on a successful proof-of-concept developed between UK and Korean partners during phase 1, this project will deliver a commercial solution...

AI-PASSPORT is a groundbreaking project designed to revolutionize maritime logistics, lower operational costs, and significantly enhance environmental sustainability by reducing emissions. This goal will be achieved through an advanced digital platform powered by AI-driven service packages. The AI-PASSPORT solution includes two main service packages: AI-p...

Transport, including coastal shipping, produces almost 25% of the UK's annual greenhouse gas emissions. If the UK is to achieve its net-zero targets then research is needed into the hard-to-decarbonise sectors such as maritime transport and how these sectors can move to use of carbon-neutral energy. This project, led by Taurus Engineering Ltd, brings toge...

Liverpool City Region Combined Authority's (LCRCA) bus network is at a crucial stage in its evolution. As the Combined Authority prepares for a full network review and a pioneering franchising model, the "Big Data Digital Twin of Mass Transit in Liverpool City Region for Smart, Equitable Mobility" project will unite researchers in the UK and South Korea t...

This collaborative project will **develop and demonstrate** a new technology (HIGHFLEX) that consists of a high-capacity flexible energy storage systems (HIGHFLEX ESS) integrated with innovative Battery Management System (BMS); Power Conditioning Unit (PCU) and intelligent monitoring and performance management system (Digital Twin) for mini grid applicati...

**Aqdot**, a young **UK-based company**, has completed all relevant regulatory and environmental hurdles and is now accelerating production and commercialisation of a novel macrocyclic chemical, **cucurbit\[n\]uril**, "**CB\[n**\]". Cucurbit\[n\]urils are extremely effective "supramolecular hosts": they non-covalently bind a wide range of chemical "guests...

Sustained ART use is essential for achieving SDG3 by reducing HIV burden and promoting maternal and infant health. Ensuring consistent adherence and engagement in care is crucial to achieving UNAIDS 95-95-95 viral suppression targets (in treated individuals) by 2030. Despite ART's success, low adherence presents a significant barrier to maintaining long-t...
