Our latest DEFEAT Newsletter has been just released.

Highlighting the project's remarkable achievements over the past year, this issue covers significant milestones and advancements:

In our continuous efforts under the DEFEAT project's Work Package 3 (WP3), we have taken significant strides in enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of sorting operations in construction demolition waste (CDW). With the power of computer vision, our team has successfully developed an advanced system capable of object detection within CDW. This technology aims to revolutionize the way we approach waste management in construction, contributing to more sustainable and environmentally friendly practices.

We are thrilled to extend our warm invitation to you for the upcoming event titled "The DEFEAT Project Symposium: A Day of Scientific Insight and Innovation."

Dr. Demetris Nicolaides, the Project Coordinator of DEFEAT, delivered a comprehensive presentation titled "Advancements in Blast and Fire-resistant Composite Materials" at the College of Civil Engineering, Fuzhou University, on October 17, 2023. This session provided a detailed overview of recent breakthroughs in the realm of fire-resistant composite materials.

The DEFEAT Project (INTERGRATED/0918/0050) convened its General Assembly Meeting on the 21st of June 2023, adopting a hybrid format.

The European Office of Cyprus (EOC) has recently published a document titled "Success Stories of European Office of Cyprus Members - Programming Period 2014-2020". This publication aims to offer a comprehensive overview of the involvement of EOC members in the programming period of 2014-2020, as well as provide insights into what can be anticipated during the 2021-2027 programming period. Furthermore, the publication seeks to showcase remarkable accomplishments of EOC members throughout the 2014-2020 programming period. It accomplishes this by highlighting projects in which EOC members participated, either as partners or coordinators. The objective is to emphasize the significant contributions and achievements of EOC members in these projects. 

Our Project Coordinator, Dr. Demetris Nicolaides, was interviewed by the national TV channel Alpha regarding the Innovative Robotic Separation Method of the Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW) developed in the frame of DEFEAT Project.
