Fundamentals of Collective Adaptive Systems

Swarm-Organ is one of the 7 projects integrated to FoCAS (Fundamentals of Collective Adaptive Systems). This coordination action is an umbrella project which aims to integrate, coordinate and help increase visibility for research carried out in the FET FoCAS Proactive Initiative* and in research fields related to collective adaptive systems. Activities include:

• Roadmapping – defining the future research agenda by engaging with experts within and outside of
  Europe and running consultation events
• Facilitating community building and collaboration opportunities for researchers interested in
  collective adaptive systems through workshops and conferences
• Online media lounge with downloadable resources to encourage improved collaboration
  between researchers within Europe and internationally
• Providing dissemination opportunities, a positive interface between scientists, industry and the
  science-aware public to demonstrate how CAS can impact on society
• Providing training opportunities for researchers through summer schools and exchange opportunities
