WildDrone is an international training network funded by the EU Marie Skłodowska Curie Actions. We aim to revolutionize wildlife conservation practices by using autonomous drone technology as a unifying platform to monitor wildlife populations, track their movements, and manage human-wildlife conflicts. We believe that the rapid decline of wildlife populations has prompted an urgent need for more effective and feasible nature conservation practices.

The aim of GENIUS is to develop a novel 5G UAS network, building upon and shaping the current 5G roll-out, but optimized for 3D coverage of the lower airspace and providing the required safety and reliability for a U-space where drones can fly safely side by side with manned aviation beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) of the pilot.

Time: April 2021 - March 2024

HealthDrone is a three-year innovation project funded by Innovation Fund Denmark. The aim is to develop and test HealthDrones to transport patient samples, medicine and medical equipment between hospital units, medical practices and home-visiting nurses. When ready, the healthdrones will improve the logistics in the healthcare sector and assure faster and better treatment for the patients. The drones will enable more examinations to be conducted at the medical practices or at home, instead of at the hospitals.
