SOLEMARE
Proposed to design, build, and test a resilient offshore floating solar platform (FPV) for harsh oceanic environments. Delivered TRL6 prototypes, structural testing, circular materials evaluation, and commercialization strategy aligned with EU ocean energy objectives.
SEAFLOOR MAPPING
Proposed to deliver high-resolution multibeam mapping and bottom characterization in five marine zones around Malta. Included sediment sampling, geophysical interpretation, and digital seafloor maps to support national marine spatial planning and conservation actions.
OCTAPUS
Proposed to develop a hybrid autonomous underwater system combining AUV and glider technologies. Delivered enhanced energy efficiency, secure data transmission, deep-sea mapping capabilities, and operational autonomy with low-cost deployment systems.
MANIBUS
Proposed to design a 4D digital twin system for land and maritime border surveillance. Delivered interoperable platforms, training tools, XR interfaces, decision-support modules, and real-time integration of heterogeneous data for improved EU external security.
ISO BAT
Proposed to develop inherently safe, modular battery systems for waterborne transport. Focused on cell-level thermal runaway prevention, predictive maintenance, harmonized certification processes, and system-wide electrification integration across maritime vessels.
BYTHOS
Evaluation of the sustainable exploitation of fish waste for the extraction of bioactive molecules (BAMs) and marine collagen for applications in health, cosmetics, nutraceuticals, and agri-food industries. EPSILON led the socio-economic and environmental impact assessments under WP6 of the project.
Interreg Malta Gharb
The project involved the design, development, deployment, and maintenance of an interactive web-based educational platform for the Gharb Local Council, Gozo, under the Interreg V-A Italia-Malta AMPPA project. The goal was to enhance public awareness on marine biodiversity, sustainability, and environmental conservation through gamified digital tools.
