IDS at ICT Open 2019:

Regis­ter now for ICT.OPEN2019 – The con­fe­rence for Dutch ICT-Rese­arch

The 7th edi­ti­on of ICT.OPEN will be orga­nis­ed on Tues­day 19th and Wed­nes­day 20th March 2019 in Gooi­land in Hil­ver­sum. Read more about our exci­ting new pro­gram­me and our call for Abs­trac­ts.

The field of ICT is rapidly deve­lo­ping. The­re are many open rese­arch ques­ti­ons and new oppor­tu­nities to app­ly rese­arch results to fur­ther trans­form and impro­ve our socie­ty. To bring tog­e­ther fun­da­men­tal ICT rese­arch as well as novel and inno­va­ti­ve app­li­ca­ti­ons of ICT rese­arch, the Nether­lands Orga­ni­sa­ti­on for Sci­en­ti­fic Rese­arch (NWO) and the ICT Rese­arch Plat­form for the Nether­lands (IPN) are orga­ni­sing ICT.OPEN2019.

More than 400 sci­en­tists from all ICT rese­arch disci­pli­nes and from ICT indus­try will come tog­e­ther to learn from each other, to sha­re ide­as and to expand their net­work.
ICT.OPEN2019 is part of the Dutch Digi­tal Con­fe­rence from 18 to 21 March 2019. NWO, Smart Indus­try and the Minis­try of Eco­no­mic Affairs and Cli­ma­te Poli­cy are joint­ly orga­ni­sing this digi­ti­sa­ti­on week.

In 2018 the Han­no­ver Mes­se coun­ted more than 220.000 visi­tors, 6.500 exhi­bi­tors and over 1.00 spee­ches. After a suc­cess­ful appearan­ce 2018, the Inter­na­tio­nal Data Spaces Asso­cia­ti­on will also par­ti­ci­pa­te at the Han­no­ver Mes­se 2019, from 1st to 5th of April.

The IEEE 5th World Forum on Inter­net of Things (WF-IoT) will be held on the spec­ta­cu­lar park­land set­ting of the Uni­ver­si­ty of Lime­rick, 15 – 18 April 2019. The his­to­ric city of Lime­rick is loca­ted in the heart of the beau­ti­ful mid­west regi­on of Ire­land, on the magni­ficent Wild Atlan­tic Way. We look for­ward to exten­ding a very spe­cial Irish wel­co­me. and invi­te you to join us in 2019 for a tru­ly memo­r­able event. The Shan­non Regi­on in the mid­west of Ire­land is ide­al­ly pla­ced to offer tours to con­fe­rence dele­ga­tes of the Bur­ren Regi­on, Skel­ling Micha­el (filming loca­ti­on for Star Wars), Dub­lin, Gal­way, Kil­lar­ney, the Ring of Ker­ry, and many anci­ent cast­les and pla­ces of his­to­ric inte­rest.

Lime­rick City is ser­ved by a ran­ge of hotels from five-star cast­les to three-star bou­tique ver­si­ons. Access to Lime­rick is pro­vi­ded by Shan­non Air­port, which pro­vi­des many direct flights and is loca­ted only 20 minu­tes from Lime­rick. The Natio­nal Air­ports of Cork and Dub­lin also pro­vi­de easy access to the mid­west regi­on of Ire­land. Ire­land is a safe and fri­end­ly desti­na­ti­on, renow­ned for its hos­pi­ta­li­ty and its warm wel­co­me.

The FIWARE Glo­bal Sum­mit unites deve­lo­pers, entre­pre­neurs, poli­ti­cal decisi­on makers, thought lea­ders, busi­ness exe­cu­ti­ves and inves­tors to exchan­ge views and deve­lop­ments on how smart IoT and Open Data solu­ti­ons can be imple­men­ted in the are­as of Smart Cities, Indus­try 4.0 and Agri­cul­tu­re.

We invi­te the FIWARE Com­mu­ni­ty to actively take part in desi­gning the next FIWARE Sum­mit. Tho­se inte­rested in con­tri­bu­ting should pro­vi­de at least a tit­le and an abs­tract by Janu­a­ry 25th, 2019.

Con­tri­bu­ti­ons should cover one or more of the fol­lo­wing cate­go­ries:
– Deve­lo­pers / Tech
– Smart AgriF­ood
– Smart Cities
– Smart Ener­gy
– Smart Indus­try
Cross Topics:
– AI (Machi­ne Lear­ning / Swarm Intel­li­gence)
– Block­chain
– IoT
– Robo­tics
– Data Economy/ Sover­eig­n­ty

The focus are­as wit­hin the­se tracks will be:
Use cases and exchan­ge of expe­ri­en­ces using FIWARE
How tren­ding tech­no­lo­gies app­ly to Smart Cities, Smart AgriF­ood, Smart Ener­gy, Smart Indus­try
Adop­ti­on bey­ond Euro­pe
iHubs
Star­tups / acce­le­ra­tors / inves­tors

See you in Gen­oa!

After the gre­at suc­cess of the first edi­ti­on of the BDV PPP Meet­up last year in Sofia (Bul­ga­ria), the Big Data Value PPP is hap­py to announ­ce the cele­bra­ti­on of a new edi­ti­on of this event in Riga (Lat­via), from 26 to 28 June.

The cho­sen venue to host the event is the Natio­nal Libra­ry of Lat­via, a magni­ficent buil­ding con­si­de­red among the grea­test cul­tu­ral pro­jec­ts of the 21st cen­tu­ry in Lat­via.

Simi­lar to last year, the meet­up will inclu­de an open day with ple­na­ry and par­al­lel ses­si­ons, key­notes and spee­ches from rep­re­sen­ta­ti­ve actors both at local and European level that will sha­re their insights about data dri­ven and AI based inno­va­ti­on, and a day more focu­sed on the imple­men­ta­ti­on of the stra­te­gy of the PPP, with work­shops and other activi­ties orga­ni­zed by the PPP sta­ke­hol­ders.

The event is co-orga­ni­zed by the Big Data Value Asso­cia­ti­on and the BDVe pro­ject, with the col­la­bo­ra­ti­on of the rest of BDV PPP pro­jec­ts, and the local sup­port of the Lat­vi­an com­pa­ny Til­de
