IoT twinning for digital product passports
The project, supported by the Polytechnic University of Catalonia and the eReuse circular economy community, aims to provide a search and discovery service to access public information about digital devices based on digital twins linked to physical devices through unique decentralised identifiers. The digital twins provide identifiers, details, and verifiability information as a digital product passport to enable circular management of ICT devices. The service collects and discovers points that accumulate over the lifespan of the devices, contributed by various stakeholders, to increase confidence in the second-hand device market and calculate social and environmental impacts.

LabDiscoveryEngine
The LDE project creates an OS framework to transform physical labs into accessible online remote labs, helping share physical resources online. This initiative, a collaboration among LabsLand, H-BRS, and CPNU, aims to make labs more accessible and discoverable, particularly benefiting educational institutions. Building on WebLab-Deusto RLMS, LDE enhances cross-institutional sharing and discovery of remote labs, democratizing access to educational resources and equipment.

Ma Dada
Grounded in the French Freedom Of Information (FOI) law, Ma Dada's platform guides citizens to file requests, but also acts as an open data archive and platform for right-to-know or transparency campaigns, by publishing the whole process : the request history, the resulting correspondence, and the data obtained through it.

On My Disk: search integration
On My Disk offers personal cloud storage on private devices with secure access to third parties. PeARS is a local search engine that indexes and searches web pages while preserving privacy. The two platforms are partnering to offer a decentralised search system over personal cloud data, allowing users to search documents across networked devices. The joint project aims to create a new ecosystem that combines private hosting and distributed web search.

TalentLayer
TalentLayer is an API that connects the world's marketplaces. When one platform has too much liquidity for, for example, Python Development jobs, and not enough developers to work on them, they can push those jobs to other marketplaces to ensure high fulfillment rates. This helps platforms retain users and earn on "joint transactions" between their users and users of other marketplaces. Users get don't have to use multiple platforms to access work, and have one reputation across platforms.

TrustSearch
Trust in information is at a record low. The goal of TrustSearch aims is to promote critical thinking offering users information about the stance of articles towards important topics and to encourage them to consume more pluralistic information from media of different political orientations. The tool implements different use-cases to detect an article s stance on some controversial topics such as climate change, immigration, and vaccination against COVID-19.
