Scientific Publications

Great research thrives on the exchange of information, which is vital for the expansion and deepening of knowledge in any field. The EDIAQI project upholds this tradition, emphasising the importance of understanding indoor pollutants, their potential health effects, and strategies to enhance indoor air quality. To support this mission, they ensure that their scientific articles are widely accessible.

Below is a comprehensive list of all the scientific articles produced under the EDIAQI project. The contributions span from enhancing the privacy and sustainability of data movements and operations using a distributed knowledge graph, to applying the EDIAQI methodology in AI and large language models. You are invited to explore this rich repository of knowledge and discover numerous opportunities to engage with and build upon their findings and insights.
