efficiency and safety, and cybersecurity, which have covered most of the protocol stack of V2X from the physical layer to the application layer. The research work in these domains and our solid background in ICT provide us with a comprehensive understanding of ITS and drive us to deliver innovative ITS solutions. In the Smart Energy area TSSG work on smart grid solutions for industry, particularly those that have a degree of flexibility in the timing of their energy use. This is done through modelling their usage profile and isolating the flexibility portion of their energy networks. This facilitates the optimisation of that load against the wholesale energy market and any available onsite generation. Industry can expect energy savings, more use of renewable technologies and reductions in their carbon footprint. H2020 To date WIT has competitively secured over €16.6 million during the course of the H2020 funding programme, with €14.8 million competitively won by the Telecommunications Software & Systems Group (TSSG) research centre. Since the beginning of the H2020 programme in 2014, TSSG have secured funding for 28 ICT projects in the areas of healthcare, intelligent transport, agri-tech and smart energy all with the overarching goal of improving our society of the future as directed by the EU Commission. Of the 28 projects secured by TSSG, having a total project value of €168m, 12 of these were co-ordinated by TSSG. Of this total value, €14.8million goes directly to TSSG and the remainder is allocated to each partner on the project positioned throughout Europe.
