INNOVATE+
INNOVATE+ is a cross-border innovation programme supporting SMEs across Northern Ireland and the border counties of Ireland to improve productivity, competitiveness, and sustainability. Led by Atlantic Technological University in partnership with Ulster University, Queen’s University Belfast and Catalyst, the project provides practical support in digital adoption, artificial intelligence, and data-driven innovation to help businesses develop and implement new products, services, and processes.
NERVOUS
The goal of NERVOUS is to develop a methodology for "self-aware" electronic systems with an embedded artificial nervous system that can sense its state and performance, and exploit the structure and computational power of these kinds of bio-inspired mechanisms for autonomous tolerance of faults.
Semiconductor Photonics Education and Research (SPEAR) Centre
Cross Border PeacePlus funded 4-year initiative in collaboration with ATU and Tyndall.
Uncovering the neural architecture underlying decisions abstracted from movements
The project aims to gain insights into how and where abstract decision mechanisms take place in the human & non-human primate brain.
AI-EPOCMON
The project aims to develop an AI-enabled, low-cost, multianalyte, point-of-care (POC) platform device for detecting the systemic concentration of therapeutics in blood.
CoSTAR Network Lab
The CoSTAR Screen Lab will offer local companies the opportunity to apply for developmental support through challenge calls aimed at building future understanding of virtual production and real-time technologies.
Lucia: LUng Cancer related risk factors and their Impact Assessment
The LUCIA project focuses on improving early lung cancer detection by leveraging AI, data-driven risk models, and advanced diagnostic technologies to enhance patient outcomes.
RBOC: Resilience Beyond Observed Capabilities Activity
The RBOC Network Plus creates new knowledge and collaborations to prepare the UK for future security threats, using immersive simulations of a catastrophic digital and energy network attack scenario.
Screen4SpLDs - Development of an Automated Pre-Screening Tool for Specific Learning Disabilities in Children
The Screen4SpLDs project aims to develop a portable low-cost smartphone-based app incorporating a prediction model to be used for point-of-care screening for SpLDs (i.e., Dyslexia) in children.
Smart Manufacturing Data Hub (SMDH)
The Smart Manufacturing Data Hub (SMDH) supports small and medium-sized manufacturers to become more competitive by harnessing the power of data.
NeuroEye: An advanced bio-inspired driving safety system
NeuroEye is a neuromorphic vision processing framework that operates with bio-inspired vision sensor data initially targeting the advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) market
Hartree Centre Northern Ireland Hub
The Hartree Centre, Northern Ireland Hub forms part of the Hartree National Centre for Digital Innovation (HNCDI) programme and aims to empower businesses across the region to explore and adopt emerging digital transformation technologies including AI, to gain a competitive advantage.
Future Island-Island
Future Island-Island is a collaborative project led by Ulster University, with Queen's University, Glasgow School of Art, University of the Arts London, – Big Motive, BigSmall Design, The B!G Idea, Malcolm Bea!ie, CARD Group, National Museums NI, Plaswire, Rathlin Development and Community Association (RDCA), Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), The Odyssey W5, Todd Architects and Yellow Design. We have the support of a wider network of industry experts, community partners and public sector partners. This design ecosystem integrates local knowledge with academic expertise and practical experience. The project goal is to co-design innovation, facilitate best practice knowledge exchange and develop scalable models with real-world benefits.
