A team consisting of the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR), the Institute for Computer Science and Control (SZTAKI) from Hungary, the French Aerospace Lab (ONERA) and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) from Germany was funded under the EU Horizon 2020 framework. The successful flight tests took place at the National Experimental Test Center for Unmanned Aircraft Systems, which is operated by DLR and located in Cochstedt, Germany.
There can hardly be a higher recognition of the hard work put into a Horizon Europe proposal than the 15/15 score on the anxiously awaited evaluation result letter. This is exactly the score we got for the one we submitted for the "Enhanced citizen preparedness in the event of a disaster or crisis-related emergency (HORIZON-CL3-2022-DRS-01-01)” call last November.

In the latest edition of the Australian Describo newsletter one can read about the ELKH ARP Aroma developments. The aim of the ELKH ARP project is to create a software platform to store, archive and share research data. The ARP software system (ARP platform) is designed and created by SZTAKI DSD Department of Distributed Systems. The newly developed AROMA extension, that adds a new data packaging solution to the already existing solution, has been developed to this very system and is based on the Describo software.

80% of Europe's buildings will still be in use in 2050. Action is needed to preserve their integrity and value. Modern countries generate an incomparable amount of data and information about the building stock, such as 3D geometry data, operational information, measurements, etc., which are usually lost or unused, unstructured and not updated. The vision of the EU-funded BUILDCHAIN project is that this information and data have the potential to change the way we design, construct, and maintain our buildings.
In just over 7 months, following the incident involving the T-FLEX demonstrator in August, 2022, the FLiPASED project-team (i.e., engineers and technicians from SZTAKI, Technical University of Munich, German Aerospace Center (DLR), ONERA - The French Aerospace Lab) has made a remarkable effort to redesign and rebuild the aircraft, carry out static and ground vibration tests, and ultimately conduct flight tests.
SZTAKI is the Hungarian HUB for the Gaia-X European data sharing technology project. Therefore, it was obvious that our institute was represented at the Market-X conference in the Austrian capital on 14-15 March.
