TOPICS
01/06/2010 - 02/06/2010 Brussels, Belgium This event will bring together business leaders, consumer advocates, policy makers and entrepeneurs to explore the opportunities and risks offered by the Internet of Things to businesses and consumers, and how these will re-shape our interactions with the real and virtual worlds over the coming years. Neelie Kroes, Vice President and EU Commissioner for Digital Agenda, will be a keynote speaker at this event 02/06/2010 - 03/06/2010 Luxembourg European Summit on the Future Internet 02/06/2010 - 03/06/2010 Barcelona, Spain This event aims to celebrate the official launch of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology's (EIT) first three Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs). These are:
The conference will not only present EIT stakeholders with their first opportunity to meet the designated KICs but also allow them to engage in an open dialogue with them during the breakout sessions that are foreseen. 02/06/2010 - 04/06/2010 Bratislava, Slovakia Entitled 'Contaminated Sites Bratislava 2010', the event is being organised under the auspices of the Ministry of the Environment of the Slovak Republic and the Ministry of the Environment of the Czech Republic. The conference is looking to facilitate the exchange of information and perspectives by leading experts and decision makers from various countries and areas of interest, with the involvement of the scientific and research communities, industry and service providers. Session topics will include: 02/06/2010 - 04/06/2010 Nice, France A conference on hydraulic modelling and uncertainty entitled 'SimHydro2010' will take place from 2 to 4 June in Nice, France. Modelling in fluid mechanics, hydraulics and hydrology, whether using digital tools or scale models, has reached sufficient maturity to be in daily use by engineers for analysis and communication. Today, complex cases can be handled thanks to ever-more sophisticated tools and abundant computing power. However, quantifying uncertainty in data and models for integration into decision-making processes remains a legitimate concern. Open questions will be among the topics up for discussion at SimHydro2010, including the calibration and accuracy of complex models, their relevance to case studies and their prediction capability. The event is being jointly organised by the Société Hydrotechnique de France (SHF), the University of Nice-Sophia Antipolis (UNS), the International Association for Hydraulic Research (AIHR) and the Association Française de Mécanique. 03/06/2010 Barcelona, Spain Many AAL stakeholders, especially service organisations, SMEs but also political bodies and administrations, are operating on a regional level. In particular, end users and family carers have mostly a regional or even local perspective. Access to markets, especially for new systems solutions, are possibly easier on a regional level because of already existing networks and activities between main actors and supportive regional policies and programmes as e.g. special credit schemes for senior citizens. The AAL Association would like to welcome representatives of regions or projects closely related to regions for a first exchange of information and possible interest and ideas for cooperation in the area of Ambient Assisted Living. Deadline for registration is 20 May. 03/06/2010 - 05/06/2010 Freiburg, Germany The Third Conference on Systems Biology of Mammalian Cells (SBMC 2010) will take place in Freiburg, Germany between 3 and 5 June 2010. 06/06/2010 - 08/06/2010 Munich, Germany Nutrition during pregnancy and infancy can exert important long-term effects on development and health. Programming effects of early nutrition are important with regards to biomedical research, nutritional and health care practice, and policy decisions. Recent findings, knowledge and future perspectives on the fascinating relationship between maternal and infant diet and the various biochemical, physiological and health outcomes at later ages will be presented. Session topics will include: The event will be co-organised by EU-funded Early Nutrition Programming (EARNEST) project. 07/06/2010 - 08/06/2010 Troyes, France Entitled 'Workshop on monitoring technologies - potential application to monitoring of geological repositories for radioactive waste', the event aims to bring together monitoring specialists from the civil, mining, oil and gas, nuclear engineering, carbon capture and storage, gas storage, and radioactive waste management fields. The main goals of the workshop are to: Discussions will be structured around oral presentations, poster sessions and informal exchanges. In particular, a brief introduction to geological repositories and the option of a field trip to the Meuse/Haute Marne Underground Research Laboratory will provide participants with an insight into monitoring requirements related to radioactive waste disposal. The event is organised by the FP7-funded Modern ('Monitoring developments for safe repository operation and staged closure') project.

Augmented reality (AR) is a term for a live direct or indirect view of a real world environment whose elements are supplemented with, or augmented by, computer generated imagery. Augmented reality and virtual worlds are long standing topics in their own right. MOBEA 2010 will focus on the topic of the convergence between augmented reality, virtual interactivity, and the Web. How can these new interaction paradigms be integrated into the platform of the Web and more importantly evolve to be as open and inclusive as the Web? Additionally, there are currently diverging technologies and no standards for AR. This could lead to consumer confusion and industry gridlock. The objective of this workshop is to provide a single forum for researchers and technology experts to discuss the latest in four widely-defined areas: 20/06/2010 - 25/06/2010 Acquafredda di Maratea, Italy During the last decade, the scientific and political landscape of marine biotechnology has fundamentally changed. Despite significant achievements, marine biotechnology has further potential in answering the numerous challenges facing European countries.

The special theme of the conference will be 'Risk, governance and accountability'. This theme highlights the increasing centrality of risk analysis to decision-making in a wide range of policy and organisational contexts and the increasing demands by the public for decision makers to account for outcomes. Each conference day will open with a plenary session with keynote presentations, followed by parallel sessions of oral papers, roundtable discussions and symposia reflecting particular themes of interest. The event is also an opportunity for risk analysts to come together to discuss issues, problems, goals and future research questions. New areas for risk analysis are emerging and new disciplines are contributing to the ongoing debate about risk analysis and management. 22/06/2010 - 23/06/2010 Egham, UK The event is being organised by the European Network of Excellence for Cryptology II (ECRYPT II).

The event will reference the 'Indicative strategic research roadmap' provided by the European Commission and bring together the respective international scientific community to foster cooperative research in the field of educational sciences. During the first day of the conference, participants will receive first-hand information about the policy context, funding opportunities and forthcoming calls for proposals. A specific foresight session focuses on the societal need in 2020 and beyond, and corresponding research topics challenging educational sciences in the near future. Finally, coordinators of successful EU-funded projects in the field of educational sciences will share their experiences and their latest findings. On the second day, participants will have the opportunity to discuss, in parallel sessions, the topics and challenges faced by the educational sciences, focusing on the 'Indicative strategic research roadmap'. The results of the discussions will be provided to the European Commission as scientific input for the preparation of the forthcoming SSH work programmes. A matchmaking event, organised according to the conference topics, will serve as a basis of discussion during the parallel sessions and will, in turn, help with the setting up of FP7 project consortia. |
