Project Highlights
As 2025 draws to a close and with the holiday season fast approaching, it is time for an update on the RIGOUROUS project as it enters its final operational phase. The consortium recently gathered for a plenary meeting in Bucharest, Romania, in November. This meeting served as a crucial checkpoint to evaluate the current status of the RIGOUROUS platform and to plan the concluding steps of the project.
With the finish line in sight, the team is energized to convert years of research into validated results. And with that, let’s move on to the main topic of this newsletter!
Our Progress So Far
With the project approaching its conclusion, the focus of the consortium has shifted from development towards validation activities and consolidating the results gathered over the project’s lifetime. The technical integration is now largely under way and almost complete, marking a significant transition where individual components are no longer viewed in isolation. This allows all the partners to concentrate on the assessment of the RIGOUROUS framework against its own initial requirements.
Currently, we are heavily committed to the production of the project’s final major deliverables, ensuring that the innovations developed are rigorously documented and proven:
- System Validation and Showcasing (D5.3): Significant effort is being placed on D5.3, a pivotal deliverable that will detail the final outcomes of the system validation, evaluation, and use case showcasing.
- Ethics and Project Management (D1.3): Simultaneously, work is progressing on D1.3 covering the critical aspects of ethics, gender, the advisory board’s final inputs, and the data management plan ensuring that our AI-driven security solutions adhere to the highest standards of ethical compliance.
- Exploitation and Innovation (Work Package 6): We are also intensifying work within Work Package 6, which focuses on the project’s final exploitation and innovation plan. As the project concludes, our goal is to define a clear roadmap for how these technologies might be adopted by the industry, standardized, or further developed.
The Bucharest meeting provided a timely opportunity to align these parallel efforts, ensuring that the final months of the project are dedicated to producing high-quality reporting that accurately reflects the technical advancements achieved with our AI-powered, secure 6G network orchestration.
What happened recently
- General Plenary Meeting in Bucharest: In November, the RIGOUROUS partners met in Romania. This session was dedicated to coordinating the final phase of the project, reviewing the status of the ongoing tasks, and resolving the final integration challenges to ensure a smooth conclusion.
- Focus on Final Deliverables: The consortium is actively working on the final set of documents, specifically D1.3, D5.3, and the WP6 series. These documents are currently being drafted and reviewed to ensure they effectively encapsulate the project’s findings, technical impact, and future potential.
