TCHILD: Tracking CHILDren system

Objectives
The purpose of this project is to develop an innovative tracking system (indoors and outdoors) to increase the safety of children. This system will allow parents or guardians to be more careless of their children surveillance, and thus to enjoy more of their time. The system will be applied on beaches, resorts, malls, theme parks, etc. The technology that we will use in this project is Near Field Communications (NFC). It is the upcoming new technology in new mobiles, and Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a mesh of autonomous devices distributed in the space which can incorporate sensors and actuators that monitor and control any environment. This project will be included in the EUREKA project the “21st Century Hotel Eureka project” to increase the impact and the visibility of the project.

Description
The TCHILD system will identify the area where the children are moving without carrying a large device. A wrist unit will be built with a durable, light and comfortable material for the children, and this wrist unit will have a safety lock to avoid that the children can remove it.

EUREKA publishes an overview of its member countries performances

The newly issued EUREKA 25-year country overview provides an intuitive and informative look at each EUREKA-member’s participation in the initiative since the year it joined. Whilst the document provides standard statistical information, such as the number of projects the country has funded and the total cost of those projects, there is also a novel map visually illustrating member countries’ collaboration patterns with other countries.

Foreseen updates to this tool include a similar map representing EUREKA participation at a regional level, and individual booklets providing a more in-depth profile for each country, to be distributed at National EUREKA Offices.

Video : Eureka - A New Era of European Innovation

Why is the EUREKA system working?

Under the German (July 2009 - June 2010) and Israeli EUREKA Chairmanship years (July 2010 -June 2011), EUREKA marked its 25 years of European innovation.

Since its foundation, EUREKA has endorsed over 4,000 projects for a total cost of approximately 30 billion euros, 10 billion of which were from public funds. Through EUREKA, these organisations are introducing new products, processes and services to the market, helping make Europe economically strong and socially sound.

EUREKA members and EU high-level officials explain the strengths and achievements of EUREKA in this video which was presented in Jerusalem last week.
