netconnect
 
Connecting European Culture through New Technology (NETConnect) is a project promoted by Culture 2000 European Programme. The main objectives of the project are the following: - the sharing and highlighting of common Cultural Heritage of European significance; - the use of state-of-the-art technology to make European heritage more visible and accessible; - the improvement of access and participation in culture and in new technologies for all citizens of the EU; - cooperation activities between cultural operators and technological experts for spreading European culture through the newly established International network. The project coordinated by prof. P.A. Bertacchini of the University of Calabria, involves: • Fraunhofer-Institut for Computer Graphics, Germany (www.igd.fhg.de);  • Center for Advanced Computer Graphics Technologies - GraphiTech, Trento, Italy (www.graphitech.it); • Römisch- Germanische Kommission, Germany (www.dainst.org);  • Visual Communication and Interaction Technologies Centre – VICOMTech, Spain (www.vicomtech.es);  •  Institute of Archaeology of Warsaw University, Poland (http://www.archeo.uw.edu.pl).

COMSON (COupled Multiscale Simulation and Optimization in Nanoelectronics) is a Marie Curie Research Training Network supported by the European Commission in the framework of the programme "Structuring the European Research Area" within the 6th Framework Research Programme of the European Union.
The project coordinated by Prof. Michael Günther Bergische Universität Wuppertal (Germany), inolves: "Politehnica" University of Bucharest (Romania); Università degli Studi della Calabria (Italy); University of Catania (Italy); Technische Universiteit Eindhoven (The Netherlands); Infineon Technologies AG (Germany); Philips Semiconductors - NXP (The Netherlands); STMicroelectronics (Italy).
interlink

The researches project concerns the application of Mathematics to the electronic industry, and in particular the theoretical development, study and numerical implementation of mathematical models in order to obtain: 1) new applications of electronic industry to communication; 2) new phenomena in the transition from micro to nano-electronics.
The project coordinated by prof. Prof. Pietro Pantano of the University of Calabria, involves: • Università di Catania, Dipartimento di Matematica ed Informatica e Dipartimento di Elettronica e Sistemistica; • Università di Firenze Dipartimento di Matematica Applicata “G. Sansone”; • Politecnico di Torino, Dipartimento di Elettronica. Inoltre fa parte dello stesso progetto il seguente partenariato internazionale: • Bergische Universität Wuppertal, Fachbereich Mathematik, Germany; • Technische Universiteit Eindhoven, Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, Netherlands; • Technische Universität Kaiserslautern, Fachbereich Mathematik Germany; • Universität Mainz, Fachbereich Mathematik und Informatik, Germany; • Universität Münster, Institut für Numerische und instrumentelle Mathematik,Germany; • University of California at Berkeley, Electronics Research Laboratory, United States; • George Mason University, College of Arts and Sciences, United States.
SCIENAR
SCIENAR (Scientific Scenarios and Art) is an EU project promoted by Culture 2007-2013. The central idea consists in developing and building three emblematic scenarios at the intersection of Science & Art, in order to create artistic objects (musical pieces, digital art objects, etc). The project is coordinated by Prof. Pietro Pantano (Department of Mathematics, University of Calabria, Italy), and it involves: • Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava; • Virtual Image Publishing, United Kingdom; • Institutul Pentru Tehnica de Calcul, Romania; • Electronic Media Reporting, Netherlands. 
masc
The aim of the MASC (Music and Sound by Chaos) project, is to combine different knowledges to study music as cooperating processes. The project coordinated by prof. Bilotta of the University of Calabria, involves the MacGill University of Montreal.
network of excellence
Network of Excellence is a project for the realization of an instrument to strengthen excellence by tackling the fragmentation of European research. The aim is to supply electronic contents on the basis of academic knowledges and to investigate different e-Learning environment and related communications lines.
EXu.net is a Network that involves 9 partners from seven different countrys: • Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany; • Universidade do Minho, Portugal; • University of Sao Paulo, Brazil; • University of the Basque Country, Spain; • Universität Rostock, Germany; • Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Brazil; • Universita degli Studi di Trento, Italy; • University of Maribor, Slovenien; • Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.
imism
Interfacce Multimodali in software musicali e contesti museali (IMISM)

The aim of the project is to create a musical virtual community and to promote new way of interaction using advanced user interfaces. This project foresees a closely collaboration between the Longo&Longo ltd, and the ESG group.

- COMPLETED PROJECTS-

 
The project "Mathematical Modelling of Natural and Artificial Behavior" unifies interdisciplinary competences and defines methods and instruments for natural and artificial behaviors modelling. It's based on the idea that from the processes of organogenesis of the central nervous system to the higher cognitive processes, the architectural components that manage these functions are articulated into structures (patterns), at different scales, and that these models are emergent and self-organized, even if the stuff of the architecture of a determined process can be different. The aim is to create a virtuous circle between the comprehension of the biological phenomena through simulation, and a broadening of understanding through the power of the artificial representation of biological processes and the modelling techniques at present available. link : PRIN web site

virtual museum net of magna graecia
The objective of the "Virtual Museum Net of Magna Graecia” project is to provide an unitary image of the archaeological heritage of Calabria (a Southern Italian region), through Computer Technology, Multimedia Designing and Virtual Reconstructions. The project aims to encourage the technological transfer of the most advanced researches in the exploitation and conservation sector of the Cultural Heritage. The ”Virtual Museum Net of Magna Graecia” project is included in the context of Knowledge Media Design for Museums. This project links the museum scenery and multimedia, in order to use technology as system of representation.

pia
PIA Innovation is an intervention aimed at the “industrialization of results” within the framework of initiatives in Southern Italy.
The project "Environments softwares to carrying out sounds and music based on dynamics and continuous systems " is financed within PIA Innovation program. It's realized by Longo & Longo society with the scientific collaboration of ESG group.
mobile learning
The research project concernes the implementation of e-learning mobile platform. The project coordinated by prof. P.Pantano of the University of Calabria, in collaboration of CONNEXXA system integrator company, involves also small and medium concerns.
