After months of preparation, we can finally say it: OSTARA officially started on July 1st. Over the next 36 months, the consortium's partners will work side by side to turn Mediterranean agroecology into a data-backed practice supported by sensors and trustworthy AI models.

One consortium, six countries, one shared goal

OSTARA brings together the University of Salamanca (USAL) and AIR Institute, in Spain; AETHON Engineering Single Member P.C., in Greece; SK EMBIO Diagnostics LTD, in Cyprus; the University of Ibn Zohr (UIZ), in Morocco; the Arab Academy for Science, Technology & Maritime Transport (AASTMT) and Heliopolis University (HU), in Egypt; and JASSP together with the University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne (URCA), in France. That diversity is, in fact, one of the project's greatest strengths: it allows us to validate solutions across very different agro-climatic contexts, from southern Europe to North Africa.

Welcome to OSTARA.
