• The Smart Building of the Future, 16th February 2012: Newham College of Further Education, London, UK

  Construction and building is now a major investor in novel technologies in a number of areas:

  • new materials, often incorporating nanomaterials, offer reduced weight, greater strength and durability, better performance, reduced costs, and the replacement of many environmentally-damaging materials and processes;
  • advanced and enabling technologies underpin a variety of new applications in areas such solar, wind and kinetic energy harvesting, self-cleaning glass and other building components, pollution reduction, energy storage and energy conservation;
  • a wide range of sensor and networking technologies help buildings respond to both the environment and to the needs of their users in “smart” ways.

  This one-day interactive workshop showcased a number of fascinating new technologies and solutions in the fields of novel materials, applications, sensing and networking. Leading experts explained how these technologies will help transform building design, construction and usability.

• Advanced and Enabling Technologies in Medicine, 1 December 2011: Linnean Society, London, UK, http://www.nano.org.uk
  The application of advanced and enabling technologies, such as nanotechnology, and other convergent approaches is revolutionising medicine. In addition to ever earlier and more accurate diagnoses, and novel treatments, these advances have the potential to address unmet medical needs and to contribute to other key challenges such as how to care for a rapidly ageing population. But they may also redefine how medicine and healthcare is delivered in the future. In this unique short course, four key experts in the field will describe both the major benefits these technologies will bring and also the challenges to be addressed to ultimately bring them to the clinic and to the patient.

• CHIST-ERA stands for European Coordinated Research on Long-term Challenges in Information and Communication Sciences & Technologies ERA-Net. CHIST-ERA is a coordination and co-operation activity of national (and regional) research funding organisations in Europe and is supported by the European Union under the ERA-Net funding scheme of the FP7. The aim is to reinforce the transnational collaboration between Member States in challenging multidisciplinary research in the area of ICST with the potential to lead to significant breakthroughs. The partner organisations identify emergent scientific fields allowing European researchers to engage in high risk, high impact projects that will bring some advance in science by launching each year a transnational call for research proposals. In the Call 2011, published on the 20th of October, two new and hot topics are addressed: From data to new knowledge (D2K), Green ICT, towards Zero Power ICT (G-ICT). Call deadline: 18th of January (12:00 GMT)
