rom March 17 to 19, 2025, the Nostradamus project took center stage at the Eleventh International Conference on Remote Sensing and Geoinformation of Environment (RSCy2025) in Paphos, Cyprus. Under the auspices of H.E. the Deputy Minister for Research, Innovation and Digital Policy, this prestigious conference gathered leading experts to discuss advancements in remote sensing, geoinformation, and their applications for environmental sustainability.

Nostradamus partners participated in the Workshop on Advancing Climate Action, Environmental Sustainability, and Food Security through Synergies, where they highlighted the project’s innovative approaches to tackling global food security and sustainable agriculture. Three key presentations were delivered, showcasing the consortium’s interdisciplinary expertise and cutting-edge solutions:

• Ioannis Varvaris (ERATOSTHENES Centre of Excellence) presented the publication: “NOSTRADAMUS: Harnessing Data Cubes and Multiple Sources of Data for Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security”. His presentation emphasized the role of data cubes in integrating diverse data sources to support precision agriculture and better decision-making.
• Konstandinos Panayiotou (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki) introduced: “A Hybrid Edge-to-Cloud Architecture Towards Low-Code Development of Global Food-Security Applications: The NOSTRADAMUS Case”. This presentation detailed the project’s innovative edge-to-cloud framework that streamlines data management and enhances the development of agricultural applications using low-code tools.
• Daria Loginova (University of St. Gallen) shared insights on: “Agri-Food Modelling: Socio-Economic Data and Data Gaps”. Her talk highlighted the critical importance of addressing socio-economic data gaps to enable effective policy-making and planning in the agri-food sector.

A highlight of the event was Konstandinos Panayiotou receiving the Best Presentation Award for his impactful and technically innovative contribution on the Hybrid Edge-to-Cloud Architecture. This recognition underscores the project’s technical excellence and its potential to transform agricultural practices through digital innovation.

Beyond the formal presentations, the RSCy2025 conference provided an invaluable platform for engaging with researchers, policymakers, and industry stakeholders. These interactions fostered discussions on potential synergies with other ongoing initiatives, paving the way for future collaborations. The shared knowledge and insights gained during the conference are expected to contribute to the continued development of scalable, data-driven solutions for addressing global challenges in sustainable agriculture, environmental monitoring, and food security.

The Nostradamus project‘s participation at RSCy2025 highlighted its commitment to advancing technological innovation and fostering collaborative approaches to ensure a more sustainable and food-secure future. Through these engagements, the consortium continues to play a pivotal role in shaping the next generation of smart agriculture solutions powered by cutting-edge data technologies and multi-actor collaboration.
