The specific objectives of the project are to promote public awareness of the targeted audience, towards the need for the protection of Natura 2000 network, increase awareness on natural values for which the Troodos National Forest Park was included in the Natura 2000 Network, and to change negative attitudes of Cyprus inhabitants, regarding Natura 2000 network and ecosystem services, using various means (rural workshops, awareness/media campaign, and dissemination material).

Moreover, the projeect aims to spread knowledge about the natural values and ecosystem services provided by Natura 2000 network to professional target groups (policy implementers), create and provide toolsets (Mobile Apps, guide, documentary, etc.) regarding the Natura 2000 network, the conservation of natural values and the provision of ecosystem services in order to be forwarded to the public and be used more widely in a national and international context.

Hippoactive aims to perform a smooth six-degree freedom movement -based on the Gough-Stewart Platform, allowing a floating body to move freely on the three axes of movement x, y, z horizontally, vertically and laterally - not only linearly but also rotationally (pitch, roll and yaw), as well as to simulate the horse's oscillations.

The Hippoactive Gough-Stewart Platform aims to allow therapists to have control over the movements of the simulator as appropriate, and to enable therapists to make measurements based on specific parameters, to analyze the results, to create personalized patient rehabilitation programs according to the age and needs of each patient and to have the best possible results. To also offer the possibility of upgrading and increasing operating programs, as well as to allow the rider to have better control over the movements of the simulator

Moreover, the platofrom aims to simulate the horse's skin and temperature in the seat area, and to provide the opportunity of contact to the user, through a screen that will give the sense of an interactive game –virtual reality- as the user will be able to feel that he/she is in a real environment with various options in relation to the movement of the horse. This objective will be achieved through a display that will depict the accurate position of the horse during operation, as motors will be connected to an electronic board which will guide the user.

The basic objectives of this project are fundamental studies on the interaction between femtosecond laser pulses and glassy materials to realize nano-scale optical structures/waveguides and micro-fluidic devices on the same substrate or basic optical platform, thereby producing “micro-fluidic chips”. The fabrication of intricate microstructures and channels within the bulk volume or surface of optically transparent glassy materials is widely recognized as an important development in the innovation of advanced components in the two apparently distinct areas of photonics and fluidics, with a direct impact to bio-photonics. However, due to incompatibilities in any manufacturing processes, it is difficult to mix these two functionalities. The processing of glass with femtosecond pulses is a versatile technique, which offers unique capabilities for the fabrication of micro-devices that integrate on a monolithic substrate micro-optics with micro-fluidics.

Country of Origin Information (COI) refers to information on countries from which asylum seekers originate relevant for decision-makers in the field of asylum. The quality and accuracy of COI can thus play a determining role in achieving the aim of the Common European Asylum System that similar cases should receive similar outcomes across the EU.
