Polymer Optical Sensors for Prolonged Overseeing the Robustness of civil Infrastructures (POSPORI) is a research project funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement No 844618.

The POSPORI project is dedicated to accelerating the deployment and use of polymer optical fibre Bragg grating (POFBG) sensing technology for prolonged overseeing the robustness of civil infrastructures. The two key research objectives are to develop optical fibre sensing systems to assess the stability of (i) reinforced concrete and (ii) reinforced soil structures, which are the key elements for safe construction in civil engineering. The project seeks to take a significant step beyond the current technology readiness level.
