๐ข Call for Expressions of Interest โ Research Grant Opportunity
We are looking for candidates interested in a research grant opportunity within the RADIANCE project, funded by the European Union under Horizon Europe.
This opportunity focuses on real-time visual monitoring on construction sites, combining data from crane-mounted sensors, planning tools, and operational systems to improve safety, risk detection, and decision-making.
The work will involve:
developing image processing and analysis tools to detect hazardous situations;
creating a real-time alert system for integration into digital platforms and AR devices;
designing in-situ visual signalling solutions using coloured light beams;
validating the system through real-time image acquisition using cranes or drones.
We are currently collecting expressions of interest from candidates with a Masterโs degree in Civil Engineering, Informatic Systems, or a related field.

Deadline: March 28, 2026
