This workshop was attended by 25 persons (consortium partners and external stakeholders) and its purpose was to receive feedback on the elicited stakeholders’ requirements that were identified through the 1st workshop, to revise stakeholders’ needs and expectations and validate the final set of PALAEMON system requirements. Furthermore, a session of the workshop was dedicated to the presentation of the “ISOLA” project’s concept and the potential convergence between PALAELPN and ISOLA.
- Workshop: Evacuation and people with disabilities
As part of the requirements engineering and understanding of situations on a ship for senior citizens, Johanniter started a living lab approach in the Vienna Prater on the 6th of May 2021. Corona allowed the use of this recreation and fun area for Johanniter to run a small pilot action to collect data on the impact of moving ground to people with disabilities. Several media supported this action with reports and interviews. A reach of approximately 1.200.000 people was achieved with all media reports through the biggest newspapers in Austria.

- Workshop: A radical rethinking of traditional Waterborne Solutions to increase Accessibility and Remove Barriers
The PALAEMON project has been part of a special session organized with the TRA2022(Transport Research Arena) Conference. The session included three EU funded H2020 projects all focused on demonstrating the state-of-the-art research and development results into waterborne transport. Sharing synergies between electrification to reduce GHG and the vision to support the safety of passengers through a total solution for the evacuation of large passenger ships. The session created a collaborative communication space for all three projects to share their respective aims and objectives and latest results.

The pre-pilot conducted on-board the Ro-Ro Ferry “ELYROS” of ANEK on December 15, 2022 (first day) and on December 19, 2022 (second day). The purpose of this 2nd day pre-pilot action was to conduct several pilot exercises with the participation of students playing the role of passengers and to measure some of the PALAEMON defined KPIs.
- Workshop: PALAEMON after-Pilot Workshop
The final pilot action of the project took place on 30th and 31st of January 2023, on-board the Ro-Ro Ferry “ELYROS” of ANEK. The participants of the pilot action were: 10 students from School of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering of NTUA as passengers. Crew members (i.e., Chief Officer and Master) from ANEK’s Ro-Ro Ferry “ELYROS ANEK along with the Pilot Exercise Evaluation Team (PEET) will also be present, acting as crew members. Additionally, there were members of the PALAEMON consortium Airbus, UAegean, NTUA, Ericsson, ANEK, media representatives and external invitees (relevant stakeholders) as observers. After the Pilot, the project team and the invited experts discussed and reviewed the results of the Pilot and summarised the maon pilot achievements and contributions to the field.
