CIRCUIT VOICES! Meet the Project Coordinator
During our Kick-off meeting, we had the opportunity to discuss with Apostolos Apostolaras. Apostolos is a senior researcher at CERTH, whereas CERTH is also the project’s coordinator.
Describe CIRCUIT in three words
Co-Creation, Circularity and Scalability
What inspired the idea behind CIRCUIT?
The idea behind CIRCUIT stems from the need to bridge the gap between industrial sites and regional cities and connect them towards sustainable development.
What core challenge is CIRCUIT tackling?
CIRCUIT aims to deliver a replicable and scalable solution that can be modified and adopted across diversified use cases and pilot sites.
What’s the one thing that truly sets CIRCUIT apart?
What sets CIRCUIT apart is its systemic approach, where stakeholders are engaged in the deployment of the solutions. It is not only about the technical innovations that CIRCUIT brings, but also about the adaptation of these solutions, which is co-designed to fulfil the requirements of the involved actors.
How do you see your organisation contributing to CIRCUIT's goals?
CERTH, in addition to being the project coordinator, will bring its specific scientific expertise to deliver operational data spaces and support the pilot deployments of all technical solutions.
