The ERCIM postdoctoral Fellowship Programme has been established as one of the premier activities of ERCIM. The programme is open to young researchers from all over the world. It focuses on a broad range of fields in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics. Deadlines for applications are currently 30 April and 30 September each year. http://fellowship.ercim.eu
The ERCIM Ethics Working Group organised jointly with Inria and CNPEN (the French National Pilot Committee for Digital Ethics) a forum targeted at scientists and Research Ethics Boards on 17-18 October 2022 in Paris. This successful event, which brought together researchers interested in ethics of digital and connected technologies, consisted of keynotes, presentations and tutorials, and provided ample space for interactive sessions and open discussions.
Most of the recorded presentations are available on the ERCIM Youtube channel. See also the report in ERCIM News and the Workshop programme with links to the slides and the recorded presentations.
Fourteen leading European organisations join forces to provide a framework for green and privacy-preserving data operations in an edge-to-cloud architecture.
Existing network architectures offer a variety of options for storage and analysis of data. Currently, however, network architecture follows a cloud-based logic thereby hampering the exploitation of distributed architectures’ potential. Therefore, organisations that operate on an edge-to-cloud architecture have to deal with suboptimal results with regards to energy efficiency, computation and resources allocation for data storage and management performance. This problem is most relevant in large organisations with many distributed entities, such as public administrations, or organisations that make an intensive use of sensors, such as the ones operating in Industry 4.0.
The ERCIM Evaluation Committee for the Cor Baayen Young Researcher Award unanimously selected Fabio Carrara from ISTI-CNR as the winner for 2022. An honorary mention was given to Cédric Colas from Inria.
Paris, 17-18 October 2022
The ERCIM Ethics Working Group organises a workshop at the "Institut Imagine" in Paris and online on 17 and 18 October, targeted at researchers and Research Ethics Boards (REBs).
Registration is open. Participation is free. It offers an exciting programme with international experts.
The ERCIM Cor Baayen Award selection committee has unanimously selected Tomasz Kociumaka as the winner of the competition for the 2021 ERCIM Cor Baayen Young Researcher Award. Tomasz Kociumaka was nominated by the University of Warsaw, which awarded him a PhD in 2019. Tomasz then worked at Bar-Ilan University, Israel, and he is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, Berkeley, USA.
Warsaw, 14-16 September 2022
FMICS is the yearly conference organised by the homonymous ERCIM working group. The aim of the conference series is to provide a forum for researchers who are interested in the development and application of formal methods in industry. FMICS brings together scientists and engineers who are active in the area of formal methods and are interested in exchanging their experiences of the industrial usage of these methods. The FMICS conference series also strives to promote research and development for the improvement of formal methods and tools for industrial applications. FMICS will be held as part of CONFEST 2022, comprising also CONCUR, FORMATS, QEST and workshops, during 12-17 September 2022.
JST (Japan Science and Technology Agency) are organizing the 2nd joint workshop in order to accelerate international communication and collaboration. The online workshop aims to present future visions and recent results of research conducted in the context of the JST AIP (Advanced Integrated Intelligence Platform) project as well as from European institutions. This event will provide the opportunity to invited participants from Japan and Europe to familiarize themselves with recent research interests and consider collaboration prospects that will arise in the context of the Horizon Europe framework program or relevant initiatives from JST. The programme includes keynote talks from Takayuki Ito (Kyoto University), "An Agent that Facilitates Crowd Discussion", and from Fabio Martinelli (Research Director, CNR IIT) "Data usage control for data sovereignty".
