IMPETUS Intelligent Management of Processes, Ethics and Technology for Urban Safety

Coordinator: SINTEF AS (NO)

An interconnected city grid of sensors, such as of cameras or environmental sensors, offers a wealth of actionable Big Data. In addition to better managing traffic and public transit, as well as controlling pollution, they can be used for enhanced policing, crowd control, and even public sentiment monitoring. However, such smart systems increase the risk of unethical use of personal data, and increase the attack surface of a city as multiple interconnected IT systems control key infrastructures such as transport, energy, water distribution, etc.To address the growing security and ethical thre…

About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)

Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.

EU contribution: €8.0M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 2.5 years from 2020-09-01 to 2023-02-28.
