Research and development

COLLECTIVE - The project wants to solve the major constraints of SMEs innovation to:
achieve successful, repeated organizational innovation,
access to learning and knowledge processing,
access to cognitive diversity,
have the possibility to be connected to foster collaborative projects.
An ICT operational platform called iCOMMUNITY will be the backbone of this innovation ecosystem and will let SMEs and SMEAGs to identify future emergent technological and economic trends/discontinuities by developing network-based approaches to early detect ‘weak signals', to manage distributed intelligence and creativity in the process of new product development and to design new modular products in a collaborative way reducing the market risk since relevant inputs and feedback from customers and end users will be constantly ‘embedded' in the design process.

INNOVALL – The project consists in the creation of a platform to extract information from IPR databases. The platform is addressed to companies aiming to pursue innovation processes or to monitor the technological state of the art and/or competitors. The project is based on TRIZ methodologies and information semantic analysis.

Other international projects

SIP-Benchmark II – It is a 3 years benchmarking study of parental control and filtering tools for the online protection of children carried out by an International Consortium on behalf of the European Commission in the framework of the Safer Internet Programme. SIP-Benchmark II will focus on both effectiveness and usability of tools (software and services) for a safer use of the Internet and of the new online technologies: around 30 different filtering tools will be tested in a six-monthly benchmarking cycle. The results will be presented in a user-friendly and comprehensible way to ensure that parents will make use of them. Cybion is responsible for the assessment of the tools effectiveness whereas Stiftung Digitale Chancen is in charge of the usability test.

MAP-IT! – It is a Specific Support Action (SSA) under the Sixth Framework Programme in the IST field aiming to promote ICT research promotion between the EU and Mediterranean region.

The project objective is to promote those relevant MED Partner Country stakeholders, with a direct focus on industrial players (Small and Medium Enterprises, Industrial Associations) to European policy makers to improve research cooperation opportunities between the two regions. The project achieved the mapping of the ICT qualified stakeholders both from research and industry of the Mediterranean countries targeted by the project. To this purpose, the project main activities consisted in the dissemination of the 7 Framework Program funding opportunities during specific workshop and also in fostering the dialogue between the research and the industry players. Cybion serves as the project coordinator, manages the online survey, develops and maintains the website and the database for competences mapping, creates and distributes the project newsletter, participates in project events promoting MAP-IT! and FP7.

It established synergies with many actors coming from the research and university field (Università di Roma Tre, Politecnico di Torino, Università di Salerno, di Napoli, di Udine, della Calabria, University of Magdeburg, Università del Pireo). Moreover, it participated to projects together with important companies such as Telefonica, Creax, Unesco, H&K, Aspen Istitute, Open Group. The activity allows to be constantly updated and to reflect over technological web trends and social involvements and evolutions.

The R&D Unit is composed by both technical profiles and European and national writing and management projects experts.

These are the specific areas:

Information retrieval
Natural Language processing
Semantic Web
