EIC Summit and last Portfolio meeting

We had a busy schedule last week in Brussels: The EIC Summit 2026 and the closing EIC Portfolio meeting. We could engage with other visitors, reconnect with colleagues, and even had the chance to demonstrate our final SYMBIOTIK prototype. The 2026 Summit welcomed more than 2000 participants, 130 speakers delivering 17 inspiring Leaders Stage sessions, …

Advancing User-Centric Evaluation with LEAs and Security Experts

We have achieved a significant milestone in our mission to revolutionize adaptive InfoVis systems. Led by AEGIS IT Research, the consortium recently completed the development and delivery of the final prototype of SYMBIOTIK. This is the result of extensive research into smart, self-adaptive dashboards, designed to automatically adjust to the user’s needs, and prevent mental …

SYMBIOTIK enters its final year: A journey of innovation continues

As we move into the final year of the project, to be concluded in September 2026, the consortium stands at an exciting point of momentum. What started with the ambitious vision to rethink how humans and adaptive visual systems collaborate in time-critical decision environments has evolved into a vibrant research and innovation endeavour yielding tangible …

The Next Frontier in User eXperience: What Adaptive Menus and Brain Waves Reveal about Interaction

Nowadays, we expect user interfaces (UIs) to be intuitive, responsive, and tailored to our needs. But how do we really measure whether an interface is like that? It is not just a question of speed and clicks. We published a recent open-access study in the Journal of Systems & Software that tackles this very question …

From Detection to Decision: How LLMs Enable Autonomous SOC Workflows

Modern Security Operations Centres (SOCs) can get overloaded with information. Analysts face tens of thousands of daily alerts, fragmented across SIEM, IDS, EDR, and CTI platforms. The vast majority of these alerts are false positives but hidden among them are genuine threats that demand immediate action. This massive discrepancy between false positives and real threats …
