About the project
The aim of the 3-year ARCHYTAS project is to investigate and study the feasibility of non-conventional Artificial Intelligence (AI) accelerators for defence applications, harnessing novel technologies at device and package level. The consortium explores, for instance, new ways of minimising energy consumption in defence operations while creating the foundation for more agile decision-making when it matters the most.
Impact of the project:
Investigating the feasibility of non-conventional AI accelerators, the project addresses the challenges encountered in defence use cases by proposing optimized solutions for energy efficient consumption, speed and cost.
Funding instrument European Defence Fund (EDF)

Spinverse’s role
Spinverse supported the project from the proposal preparation phase to the Grant Agreement Preparation (GAP= and is now supporting Coordinator IVECO Defence Vehicles and the ARCHYTAS Consortium in the project’s day-to-day management.
Spinverse has been valuable from the outset of the project’s initial phases to the project’s day-to-day management now that the project is finally charging ahead. Thanks to them we as Coordinator and the other project partners can fully also focus on delivering the critical technical aspects in service of the novel defence applications that the project aims to advance.

About the project
The LIFE Lit4Nature aims to establish a stronger, evidence-based system for biodiversity conservation and restoration across Lithuania. Major focus will be placed on strengthening the national biodiversity monitoring system, improving data collection and integration and on introducing innovative monitoring approaches to support evidence-based conservation and restoration decisions.
Impact of the project:
The project aims to boost stronger biodiversity and ecosystem recovery across Lithuania through nationwide conservation and restoration. Further, it wants to achieve better national coordination for efficient and well targeted conservation measures and their funding.
Funding instrument LIFE Programme

Spinverse’s role
Spinverse experts supported the coordinator throughout the two-stage LIFE Strategic Nature Project application process from concept note development to submitting the final proposal.
The support included workshops that brought together the proposal team to sharpen the project concept and focus the application on the most relevant and critical aspects of Lithuania's
Prioritised Action Framework for Natura 2000 and the forthcoming National Restoration Plan.
Spinverse’s strategic guidance, hands-on support and thorough quality reviews helped us focus on the critical aspects, strengthen the proposal logic and present its impacts convincingly. Their LIFE expertise gave our team confidence and contributed significantly to the proposal’s high quality and successful funding outcome.”
