A new IoT Lab tool is available that explores the potential of crowdsourcing and crowdsensing to extend the testbed infrastructure for multidisciplinary experiments with more end-user interactions. This will provide you with an opportunity to collect data for your research by accessing the Testbed as a Service with crowdsourcing tools and IoT testbeds
Sign up for Testbed as a Service, the IoT Lab tool for researchers, if you are looking for tools for engaging citizens in your research projects. This will provide you with an opportunity to propose a research, vote and rank the research ideas or take part in research projects by providing your knowledge or mobile phone sensor data
Download IoT Lab mobile application by scanning QR code if you want to support and take part in research activities and influence the future research

SocIoTal will deliver services and application for the citizens depicted during co-creation workshops held in the City of Novi Sad and the City of Belgrade, Serbia
Elevator supervisor pilot enables automatic monitoring of elevator’s traveled distance and automatic malfunction detection as well as possibility for alerts that will notify the user if service is required
Mood of the city pilot will tell you how much the city is happy by building a happiness index – metric based on an environmental parameters extracted from the sensors deployed in the city and citizens’ feedback: mood detected from the phone’s camera and scientific questionnaire

The pilot will demonstrate a new approach to delivery of public services through use of cloud computing
It is set in the City of Novi Sad, Serbia and is funded by EU as one of five pilots across European cities offering the same type of services
Novi Sad municipality has identified specific services to be implemented within this pilot which will together enable a first step for a family or business moving to (or around) Novi Sad
An example of these services is a mash-up and visualization of information of interest, i.e. publicly available information: public infrastructure general safety, capture areas of health centres, pre-schools and schools, population structure, energy efficiency of the buildings, average costs per apartment based on their specific circumstances etc.

The pilot is set in the City of Novi Sad, Serbia and it is funded by EU as one of four pilots across European cities
Pilot aims to demonstrate the mobile payment in public transport utilising the QR code, augmented reality (AR) and optical validation
Pilot will provide a multimodal transport through integration of two transport means (busses and rental bikes) and it will demonstrate interoperability of the payment systems for different transport means
Partners involved in realisation of this Pilot are DunavNET, JGSP Novi Sad and City of Novi Sad

Pilot No.1 is set in Novi Sad, Serbia and it will be implemented in Univerexport retail chain
It will demonstrate dynamic pricing benefits for the whole value chain: Smart Tags attached to the products contain the general information (provided by manufacturers), additional information (provided by retailer); Tags act as the data providers and are key part of supply chain control process
When retailer scans Smart Tag on the product, scanning results (pack ID and result) are forwarded to platform and dynamic price calculation process is invoked
When consumers scan Smart Tags (using a smartphone application), they obtain all the information about the product (best before, price, recycling, recipes and other info approved by retailers); the retrieved information depends on the location and time of scanning

Pilot No.2 will test home services and it will take place in France with the support of Leroy Merlin and PICOM
On the example of heating equipment (boiler and associated filtering station), the pilot will test different services to the customer all along the life of the equipment at home
Some of the services will leverage access to information related to the product, its environment, and its use, and some will provide specialized services (installation, maintenance, repair, etc.)
The aim is to provide comfort and a healthy living at home: proper maintenance, repair, replenishment, and monitoring

Aiming to enable mass market products to join IoT world by combining functional ink technology, printed NFC, crowd sourced secure scanners and cloud based data analytics. TagItSmart project is a part of the IoT European Platforms Initiative (IoT-EPI).

Functional ink will be used to print QR codes with embedded ability to sense temperature, humidity, elapsed time etc. which combined with printed NFC will give not only the unique identity to each item, but also ability to understand the environment and the context of the item throughout the product lifetime
Smart phones and smart glasses based scanning, combined with appropriate incentives will facilitate involvement of consumers in the process giving them additional information and services related to the item they are using, while at the same time providing valuable information to the manufacturers about how their products are used
