Limassol, Cyprus, bathed in spring sunshine, played host to the Swarmchestrate project’s general assembly on March 26-27, 2025; a crucial gathering for our team. Hosted by Suite5 Data Intelligence Solutions, the meeting saw partners converge to tackle the core challenge: integrating the project’s innovative building blocks.

At the heart of Swarmchestrate lies a novel, decentralized orchestration framework powered by dynamic swarms. These self-organizing units, leveraging blockchain, self-sovereign identities, and advanced cryptography, promise scalable, efficient, and secure data processing across distributed infrastructures. The assembly focused on answering the pivotal question: “How will it all work together?

Adding a tangible dimension to the discussions, our recently added demonstrator partner InnoRenew CoE presented a live demonstration of their privacy-preserving noise classification solution. Using a custom-built, Swarmchestrate-branded sensor, they analyzed audio signals in real-time. The results, revealing a 97% speech concentration during the meeting, showcased the practical applications of our research. Additionally, Innorenew CoE expressed their interest to exploit an integration of Swarmchestrate with their own noise classification offering.

This assembly in Limassol marks a significant step forward in our mission to revolutionize decentralized orchestration. We are excited to see the project’s vision come to life as we continue to integrate and refine our technologies!

The project coordinator is HUN-REN SZTAKI, a Hungarian research institute; among the 15 project partners, we find universities, research institutes and companies from 10 different EU countries, the UK and Korea. The technical coordination lies with the University of Westminster, represented in this project by the Centre for Parallel Computing (CPC), a centre of excellence and one of the leading and most successful research hubs within the University. The project is funded with €4,3 million from the European Union’s Horizon Europe Programme, with £938.271 coming from the UKRI and with €356.229 from the Seoul National University (Institute of Engineering Research) and the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) (funded by the Korea government, Ministry of Science and ICT -MSIT).
