This project aims to download information about European Funded Projects from the CORDIS DB.
Disclaimer: the following project is discontinued.
-
Conduct statistical analyses
-
Data-Journalism
-
Create an 'almost' ready-to-use DB
-
In the present case this scraper aims to gather information about European funded projects focusing on water to support the revision of the water framework directive.
These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.
First clone git clone https://github.com/poltys/CORDIS-DB-EU-Projects-Scraper.git
You will have to install Scrapy (and needed dependencies) in order to use it.
You can run sh install-dependencies.sh
or pip install --user Scrapy
Run scrapy crawl cordis -o "filename"."extension"
.
-
If you want to download information about a specific project you will have to change the following
start_urls = ['http:https://cordis.europa.eu/project/rcn/%d_en.html' %(n) for n in range(210216, 210217)]
inspiders/cordis_spider.py
. -
You can also extract from specific urls (sample urls.txt H2020 EU1)
name = 'cordis' f = open("urls.txt") start_urls = [url.strip() for url in f.readlines()] f.close()
-
You can decide which information extract by modifying the keywords
if response.xpath('//*[@id="ica:content"][contains(.,"water") and contains(.,"drinking water")]'):
-
You can play with multiple conditions
if response.xpath('//*[@id="ica:content"][contains(.,"water") or contains(.,"drinking")]') and response.xpath('//*[@id="dynamiccontent"]/div[3]/div/div[2]/div[3]/text()[contains(.,"SME")]') and response.css('.name').xpath('text()[contains(.,"RENEW TECHNOLOGIES LTD")]'):
Data Sample STOP-IT H2020 Project
Scrapy gives you the opportunity to download your data in different formats: csv, jl, json, xml.

"Technology_Description": "Water critical infrastructures (CIs) are essential for human society, life and health and they can be endangered by physical/cyber threats with severe societal consequences. To address this, STOP-IT assembles a team of major Water Utilities, industrial technology developers, high tech SMEs and top EU R&D providers. It organizes communities of practice for water systems protection to identify current and future risk landscapes and to co-develop an all-hazards risk management framework for the physical and cyber protection of water CIs. Prevention, Detection, Response and Mitigation of relevant risks at strategic, tactical and operational levels of planning will be taken into account to generate modular solutions (technologies, tools and guidelines) and an integrated software platform. STOP-IT solutions are based on: a) mature technologies improved via their combination and embedment (incl. public warning systems, smart locks) and b) novel technologies whose TRL will be increased (incl. cyber threat incident services, secure wireless sensor communications modules, context-aware anomaly detection technologies; fault-tolerant control strategies for SCADA integrated sensors, high-volume real-time sensor data protection via blockchain schemes; authorization engines; irregular human detection using new computer vision methods and WiFi and efficient water contamination detection algorithms). STOP-IT solutions are demonstrated through a front-runner/follower approach where 4 advanced utilities, Aig\u00fces de Barcelona (ES), Berliner Wasserbetriebe (DE), MEKOROT (IL) and Oslo VAV (NO) are twinned with 4 less advanced, but ambitious ones, to stimulate mutual learning, transfer and uptake. Building on this solid basis STOP-IT delivers high impact through the creation of hands-on training, best practice guidelines, support for certification and standardization as well as by fostering market opportunities, also leveraging the EU water technology platform's multi-stakeholder network.",
