SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities

The CyberSecDome project offers a proactive solution to protect digital infrastructures against cyber threats. It comprises four key elements: a digital infrastructure, digital twins, AI-powered security tools and a VR user interface.

The HyMES project explores hybrid modeling solutions to address the growing complexity of multi-energy systems and networks. By combining physical and data-based models, the project aims to improve the representation of energy dynamics and address the challenges of uncertainties and non-linearities in system models.

How can we monitor underground water tables? How can they be protected from various sources of pollution? What warning systems should be put in place? These questions are the subject of a major European research project: NINFA.

The MODELIS research team at IMT Atlantique's Automation, Production Engineering and Computer Science department (LS2N) is working to optimize the operation of complex systems, such as goods flows, transport networks and production chains.

The HOPES project funded by the ANR 2021 with 270 KE is led by a young researcher RESTREPO RUIZ Maria-Isabel on the planning of work schedules and employee rounds over a multi-period horizon for home-based services.

"Intelligent" video surveillance, facial recognition, predictive mapping, etc. are all devices that renew police action. They are supposed to build “safe cities” / “safe cities” thanks to the contributions of artificial intelligence (AI). Three main questions articulate the research:

SLICES is a unique initiative in the digital sciences. It aims to provide a large-scale scientific instrument to support research activities addressing issues around the design and management of digital infrastructures. SLICES entered the ESFRI roadmap at the end of 2021, successfully moving from the design phase to the preparation phase.

The project aims to develop cost-effective groundwater monitoring strategies, pollution prevention and abatement technologies, and an early warning system.

Gathering 31 partners from 10 different countries, DECARBOMILE aims to trigger an unprecedented improvement of the green last mile logistics in Europe. To reach that goal, DECARBOMILE relies on a strong experience of decarbonating urban logistics through European initiatives such as CIVITAS.

As part of the European MySmartLife project dedicated to "smart" cities, a multidisciplinary team from IMT Atlantique is looking at heating networks. The aim is twofold: to model and optimize the network in downtown Nantes, and to offer operators a decision-making tool that accounts for multiple stakeholders. An original approach in more ways than one.
