Francesco Barbabella

I work as EU Project Manager at the Grants and Innovation Office (GIO), Office of External Relations (ER). In particular, I am in charge of project development and management for large research and innovation projects funded by the European Union under Horizon 2020 and other programmes. Currently, I am focused on the Predictive Cognitive Maintenance Decision Support System (PreCoM) project (November 2017-October 2020) (www.precom-project.eu), which aims to deploy and test a predictive cognitive maintenance decision support system to improve preventive maintenance and ultimately increase in-service efficiency of machines.

Furthermore, I am Associate Researcher at the Centre for Ageing and Life-Course Studies of the Linnaeus University, contributing to advance ageing research related to healthcare, technology and social policy issues.
