HumanTech

Financed by the Horizon Europe research and innovation programme, the project HumanTech ambitions at developing Human Centered Technologies for a safer and greener European Construction. Running from 2022 to 2025 the project gathers 22 organisations led by the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence’s Augmented Vision department – DFKI.

HumanTech follows the trail of the twin transitions towards a greener and more digitalized construction sector and proposes a human-centered approach, involving breakthrough technologies such as wearables for worker safety and support, and intelligent robotic technology that can harmoniously co-exist with human workers while also contributing to the green transition of the industry.

EBC is involved in the usability assessment of the impact of the identified technologies on construction SMEs, in promoting the awareness and in developing new approach to training for the upskilling of the current and of the future workforce. What is more, thanks to its position, EBC plays a key role in the EU-wide dissemination of the main projects’ findings in the European Construction community and in building partnerships and synergies with other relevant initiatives and projects.
