DESCRIPTION:The policy seminar on ‘Next generation of human-AI/robot systems – what role for policy?’ is part of a series of 8 policy seminars organised within the Advanced Technologies for Industry (ATI) project commissioned by EISMEA and the European Commission – DG GROW. The project provides a systematic monitoring of technological trends and reliable\, up-to-date data on advanced technologies to properly support the implementation of policies and initiatives and finally promote a competitive European industry. \nResearch and innovation policies across Europe are actively promoting the development of AI and robotics technologies. Beyond unfolding the potential in these technologies\, policy will also need to play an important role to prepare the future workforce for the upcoming changes and mitigate the less beneficial societal and ethical related consequences of automation and human-machine interactions. Successful technological transformation has various challenges that will have to be addressed both by policy and change in industrial behaviour including trustworthy technology\, qualifications\, change management and organisation\, safety and occupational health\, liability and ethical behaviour. In this context\, the online policy seminar will aim to: \n\npresent the ATI analysis on human-robot and human AI systems and policy implications\nidentify challenges not yet addressed and point out at policy gaps\ndevelop recommendations how to improve policy.\n\n\nFor more information and registration: https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/ATI_AIROBOT URL:http://affordable5g.eu/event/next-generation-of-human-ai-robot-systems-what-role-for-policy/ LOCATION:Online ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:http://affordable5g.eu/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/63641cf4-cd1e-1d42-c498-23f94ba4bae7.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Brussels:20210630T164500 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Brussels:20210630T174500 DTSTAMP:20240625T190938 CREATED:20220728T130315Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220728T130315Z UID:1447-1625071500-1625075100@affordable5g.eu SUMMARY:City Nervous System - The Urbsense Vision by Ubiwhere DESCRIPTION:Affordable5G partner Ubiwhere\, will held this virtual presentation in the context of Mobile World Congress 2021\, introducing City Nervous System: an innovative concept that envisions cities as living organisms\, able to generate information and act on it directly and autonomously\, almost organically. \n \nYou can find more information on the agenda here.

The project provides a systematic monitoring of technological trends and up-to-date data on advanced technologies to properly support the implementation of policies and initiatives and finally promote a competitive European industry. \nIn the quest of resilience through increasing its strategic capacity\, the EU needs to take more actions to support the European scale-ups with a technology base. There are several challenges at EU level that prevent tech scale ups to fully develop their potential. In this context\, the ATI project has worked on identifying the main-challenges of these companies\, providing and overview of the existing policy strategies and measures at EU level\, as well as examples of national and regional policies. This policy webinar will also help to identify additional gaps in knowledge and policy needs. \n \nMore information and registration here: https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/ATIPolicyScaling20042021 URL:http://affordable5g.eu/event/scaling-up-in-european-advanced-tech-fixing-the-demand-side/ LOCATION:Online ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:http://affordable5g.eu/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Screenshot-2021-04-21-at-10.30.28.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Brussels:20210427T133000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Brussels:20210427T160000 DTSTAMP:20240625T190939 CREATED:20220728T130241Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220728T130241Z UID:1438-1619530200-1619539200@affordable5g.eu SUMMARY:NGIoT Thematic Workshop: Manufacturing DESCRIPTION:This NGIoT workshop brings together the visions on manufacturing for Europe from several associations and projects featuring presentations and discussions in the domain of IoT Manufacturing\, with a focus on the convergence of technologies\, as between IoT and Edge computing. \nThe purpose of this half-day workshop is to:\n• identify research\, innovation and deployment priorities;\n• identify trends and gaps related to the uptake of IoT and addressing convergence of IoT with other technologies\, specifically\, the current shift from cloud to edge in the domain of manufacturing;\n• address challenges that cut across the verticals and to provide a platform for discussion and exchange of learnings and use cases;\n• mobilise communities around the identified solutions and the upcoming calls under the Horizon Europe and Digital Europe Programme. \n \nRegistration and additional information here: https://www.ngiot.eu/event/ngiot-thematic-workshop-manufacturing URL:http://affordable5g.eu/event/ngiot-thematic-workshop-manufacturing/ LOCATION:Online ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:http://affordable5g.eu/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/workshop-Manufacturing.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20210426 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20210501 DTSTAMP:20240625T190939 CREATED:20220728T130237Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220728T130237Z UID:1437-1619395200-1619827199@affordable5g.eu SUMMARY:ETSI IoT Week 2021 DESCRIPTION:ETSI IoT Week 2021: Facing the challenges \nThis year’s edition will focus on the major IoT standards achievements that further support the digitalization of society\, businesses\, and multiple Industries across numerous vertical sectors.

The workshops are hosted by NGIoT and EU-Iot projects together with the European Commission + relevant associations\, networks\, projects and organisations. \nThe objective of these thematic workshops is to mobilise the community in anticipation of the upcoming Horizon Europe and Digital Europe programmes\, and to consolidate priorities from the communities of stakeholders in a roadmap for Europe (the main objective for NGIoT)\, both relating to technologies and with respect to supporting the range of relevant policies\, including the green deal. \nThe afternoon of 30 March 2021 will be dedicated to presentations and discussions in the domain of agrifood and rural smart communities. The workshop will bring together the visions on smart communities from several associations and projects: Living-in.EU\, AURORAL and dRural and the more sectoral aspects DEMETER\, ATLAS\, IoF2020 and SmartAgriHubs. \nThe economy of rural smart communities in Europe is a key focus area for the European Commission\, both short-term in securing equal access to connectivity and services and as part of the long-term vision for rural areas. As the pandemic has shown\, the rural areas are surging in popularity for both short- and long-term relocation. At the same time\, rural areas are linked to urban areas\, through people\, economy\, territory – and food. \n \nfor more information and registration\, click here.
