The project will conduct research in the domain of materials and metamaterials, focusing on the creation of innovative electromagnetic radiation metamaterials absorbers using printing technologies. PROPILEA is expected to result in the development of new commercial products that offer EM radiation protection, characterized by their lightweight design, cost-effectiveness, ease of use, and distinctive technical features, including operation in a broad frequency range. These products will serve as optimal solutions for protecting equipment and personnel in environments with significant electromagnetic radiation, such as the surfaces and various areas of ships, where high-power transmitters are in constant operation.
The objective of this project is to develop a smart, flexible, and lightweight structure that operates effectively across a wide range of telecommunication frequencies used in radar and other communication applications. Although absorbent metamaterials have been under development for over a decade, this project sets itself apart by introducing metamaterials that are not only broadband across the frequency range, but also flexible and extremely thin, enabling their adaptation into protective clothing.
Το έργο θα επιτελέσει έρευνα στον τομέα των υλικών και μεταϋλικών με στόχο την ανάπτυξη καινοτόμων μεταϋλικών απορροφητών ηλεκτρομαγνητικής ακτινοβολίας με χρήση τεχνολογιών εκτύπωσης. Το έργο θα οδηγήσει έτσι στην ανάπτυξη νέων εμπορικών προϊόντων υλικών προστασίας από την ΗΜ ακτινοβολία που θα είναι ελαφριά, χαμηλού κόστους, εύχρηστα, και με μοναδικά τεχνικά χαρακτηριστικά όπως η λειτουργία σε μεγάλο εύρος συχνοτήτων. Τα προϊόντα θα παρέχουν την καλύτερη λύση για την προστασία εξοπλισμού και προσωπικού σε χώρους με ισχυρή ΗΜ ακτινοβολία, όπως αυτούς στην επιφάνεια και λοιπούς χώρους πλοίων όπου λειτουργούν πομποί υψηλής ισχύος.
Η συγκεκριμένη πρόταση στοχεύει στην δημιουργία μιας έξυπνης, εύκαμπτης και ελαφριάς δομής με ευρεία ζώνη λειτουργίας στο εύρος τηλεπικοινωνιακών συχνοτήτων που χρησιμοποιούνται σε ραντάρ και άλλες τηλεπικοινωνιακές εφαρμογές. Παρόλο που απορροφητικά μεταϋλικά έχουν αναπτυχθεί για πάνω από μια δεκαετία, η προτεινόμενη εφαρμογή καινοτομεί προτείνοντας μεταϋλικά που θα είναι όχι μόνο ευρείας ζώνης λειτουργίας στο πεδίο των συχνοτήτων, αλλά και εύκαμπτα, με πολύ μικρό πάχος, επιτρέποντας τη μετατροπή τους σε προστατευτική ένδυση.
Prisma Electronics Spearheads ESA-Funded Space Program
Prisma Electronics is set to play a pivotal role in a groundbreaking European Space Agency (ESA)-funded program. This ambitious initiative aims to design and produce a Power Processing Unit (PPU) for space satellite systems, leveraging the collective expertise and resources of leading Greek and Italian companies and research centers.
As a key subcontractor collaborating with the Italian lead partner Alta, Prisma Electronics will oversee the design and delivery of prototypes. This collaboration includes two other prominent Greek companies, Inasco and Sitael Hellas, in a program expected to span 33 months with an 11 million euro budget. Prisma Electronics and its Greek counterparts are poised to receive a 4 million euro share in recognition of their substantial contribution to the project's design and production phases.
A Milestone for Greek Aerospace Industry
Prisma Electronics' crucial role in coordinating and implementing the project underscores its responsibility for completing and delivering the prototypes. These will then be incorporated into microsatellites by their Italian partners. To support this endeavor, Prisma Electronics has developed a specialized Clean Room ISO-7 and electronics assembly space at its Alexandroupolis premises, designed to simulate the conditions of space and facilitate rigorous testing environments.
Mr. Thanasis Potsis, President of the Greek Union of Industries of Space Technology and Applications (EVIDITE), hailed this project as a monumental success for Greece, the result of over two years of dedicated effort. "For the first time in Greece, we have established a standardized environment capable of producing certified electronic systems for space applications," Potsis remarked, underscoring the significance of this achievement. The initiative's first application will focus on the motor control systems' PPUs and microsatellite electric propulsion systems (MEPSs).
This collaboration not only marks a significant milestone for Prisma Electronics but also represents a strategic opening for Greek aerospace companies into the global space market. It promises long-term benefits for the Greek space and technology sector, including access to international aerospace platforms and valuable knowledge and technology transfer.
Prisma Electronics is proud to contribute to this landmark project, reaffirming its commitment to innovation and excellence in the global aerospace industry.

Harvesting the untapped energy provided by ambient sources can provide power to sensors and micro devices, such as micro-antennas for wireless communications, without the need of changing batteries. Such a harvesting system can both enable monitoring of a structure and reduce downtime cost, especially in structural components being difficult or dangerous to access. Among energy harvesting material sources, piezoelectric materials are proved to be more efficient in terms of power density. The current project aims to the development of an autonomous system with respect to electric energy for monitoring and wireless transfer of sensory signals from wind turbine blades. The project’s partner scheme includes two top research labs for mechatronics and piezoelectrics and two industrial partners highly specialized in microelectronics and in the management of wind energy parks. The outcome is expected to provide extremely high added value to all partners, since the proposed system is novel and can be extended easily to a vast variety of structural applications.

In 2016, the European Union passed the General Data Protection Regulation 679/2016, also known as the GDPR, and entered into force in May 2018. Its purpose is to ensure control by natural person of the processing of their personal data by organizations-companies.
One of the basic principles of the Regulation is the Principle of Legality of processing, such as the satisfaction of the need for proof by those who process personal data regarding the legal act of processing. It can be based, among other things (legal interest, the conclusion of a contract, legal obligation, performance of a public duty), and on the consent of a natural person.

Στις μέρες μας ραγδαίες κλιματεδαφικές αλλαγές έχουν διαταράξει δραματικά την ομαλή λειτουργία των «οικολογικών κύκλων», όπως αυτή του υδρολογικού, του αζώτου κτλ . Φαινόμενα όπως του «θερμοκηπίου» και του «ευτροφισμού», καθιστούν επιτακτική την ανάγκη για συνεχή παρακολούθηση και καταγραφή αβιοτικων παραγόντων (όπως ατμοσφαιρική και εδαφική θερμοκρασία και υγρασία κτλ) που είναι οι κύριοι συντελεστές των κλιματεδαφικών αλλαγών.
Βάσει των ραγδαίων κλιματεδαφικών αλλαγών, τα οικοσυστήματα αδυνατούν να εγκλιματιστούν και να προσαρμοστούν εγκαίρως, με αποτέλεσμα να αντιμετωπίζουν δυσκολίες επιβίωσης. Τα πλέον εύθραυστα οικοσυστήματα στην διατήρηση της οικολογικής των ισορροπίας είναι τα δασικά οικοσυστήματα εξαιτίας της πολυπλοκότητας τους που οφείλεται στα αυξημένα επίπεδα βιοποικιλότητας.
Σε αυτό το σημείο έρχεται η συλλογική σκέψη και συνεργασία της ομάδας μας που συνδυάζει έρευνα και τεχνολογία προκειμένου να μελετήσει με τον πιο ακριβή και καινοτόμο τρόπο αυτές τις κλιματεδαφικές αλλαγές αλλά και να προβλέψει την εξέλιξή τους.
