Telecommunications and networks are not only enabling technologies for telemedicine in remote and rural locations, but also for continuous health monitoring out of hospital, at home, and during sports, leisure or professional activities. HEALTHCOM 2010 is an opportunity to bring together interested parties from around the world working in the health care field to exchange ideas, to discuss innovative and emerging solutions and to develop collaborations.
Participants are set to include clinicians, hospital administrators, information technology professionals, researchers, educators, healthcare solutions vendors, and consultants. The event is also an important forum for discussions on eHealth projects sponsored by world bodies such as the World Health Organisation and European Commission, including Framework Programme projects. 02/07/2010 IEEE Healthcom 2010, Lyon, France There is a significant market potential for Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) solutions, but adoption is limited because they require significant resources for implementation. This fact gives rise to a stringent need for an open technological platform supporting a wide range of diverse stakeholders (including end users, developers, service providers, public and private care providers).
For such a platform to be successful, the establishment of a sustainable community is mandatory. This workshop is intended as a first step in this direction. It will provide a forum in which the technical challenges related to the development of such a platform, the establishment of an AAL community, and the tools and methods to sustain such community will be discussed by the interested stakeholders.
WASP 2010 is promoted and supported by the EU FP7 universAAL project whose mandate is to build such community and platform. The workshop is held in conjunction with the IEEE 12th International Conference of E-Health, Networking, Applications & Services (IEEE HealthCom 2010). 02/07/2010 - 07/07/2010 Turin, Italy Students, young researchers and scientists, teachers and experts, journalists and politicians, science buffs and members of the public will meet at ESOF2010 to explore the frontiers of scientific and technological research, and to debate controversial topics and compare experiences.
One of the key objectives of ESOF2010 is to provide career openings and targeted programmes for postgraduates and young researchers.
Overall, the event will have more than 120 meetings and 20 keynote lectures given by noted figures from the world of science.
ESOF is an important event that is held every two years and is dedicated to scientific research and innovation and to their impact on society. 04/07/2010 - 09/07/2010 Obergurgl, Austria The impacts of nanotechnology on the development of sustainable energy systems will be explored at a conference in Obergurgl, Austria from 4 to 9 July 2010.

Encouraged by the expansion of Web 2.0 and social networking, crowdsourcing has become an industry in its own right.
Web 2.0 provides the technological foundations upon which the crowdsourcing paradigm evolves and operates, enabling 'networked experts' to work collaboratively to complete specific tasks. Enterprise crowdsourcing poses interesting challenges for both academic and industrial research along with its social, legal, and technological dimensions.
The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners to facilitate stimulating discussions on the different aspects of crowdsourcing. Delegates will be encouraged to help identify emerging topics and challenges within the enterprise crowdsourcing paradigm and to provide a forum for further exploration and advancement in the enterprise domain.
The workshop will also seek to better understand emerging business models and opportunities, while identifying how existing business processes can most efficiently adopt the crowdsourcing model. 06/07/2010 ESOF 2010, the biennial pan-European meeting dedicated to scientific research and innovation, this year will take place in Turin from 2nd to 7th July 2010 (www.esof2010.org ).
