During the week of November 4, we organised a radio focused Hack Week at VRT. Working with teams of several VRT departments (Innovation, Radio Technology and Digital Production) and with MARCONI project partner Pluxbox, it was our aim to prototype a proof of concept that combines the rundown, phone & chat application and playout tools in an integrated radio production system.
As of 2006, Flemish radio station Studio Brussels organises the yearly charity event Music for Life, as part of the “Warmest Week”. Studio Brussel calls on their listeners to set up a campaign for a cause that lies close to their hearts. Since 2015, these campaigners have their own app, which enables them to share their story and better connect with their radio station. Behind this app lies the technology of MARCONI. In this blog post, you can find an overview of what MARCONI contributed and piloted at Music for Life.

The WorldDAB General Assembly 2018 brought together more than 200 experts to discuss the future of DAB+ digital radio. The MARCONI project was represented there thanks to Pluxbox who had a booth at this event. It was an opportunity to show MARCONI demos and give hand outs to members of WorldDAB and DAB enthusiasts.
ACM Multimedia is the most important conference for researchers and practitioners in the multimedia field. This year, the 26th edition of the conference took place in Seoul, Korea, from the 22nd of October till the 26th. MARCONI contributed to this year’s programme with a tutorial titled “Interactive Video Search: Where is the User in the Age of Deep Learning?”, co-authored by Werner Bailer from Joanneum Research.
“Our role in the project is to support the indexing and search of social content, helping radio stations to get more out of their interactions on social media, better understand the issues that are discussed on their shows and respond faster to online comments.” Meet George Ioannidis, Director at IN2.
“The major point is getting the confidence of the users and being as transparent as possible.” Meet Erich Schweighofer, professor at Vienna University. With more than twenty years of experience of funded research in legal informatics, Erich undertakes measures to safeguard privacy within the MARCONI project.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 761802
