Big Data Summer School 2016
2016-07-11 - 2016-07-15 | Leipzig University, Leipzig, Germany
From 11th to 15th of July 2016 the Big Data Center of Excellence (ScaDS Dresden/Leipzig) is excited to host its first summer school for Big Data in Leipzig. The attractive program aims at students and young graduates, as well other academic and industrial practitioners and researchers that operate in the field of Big Data. We plan to offer an inspiring mix of motivating keynotes, online trainings, classes and excursions. The summer school teaches the basics of working with large and complex amounts of data and provides an overview of relevant approaches and solutions. Thus, the participants can gain an insight into current research areas and acquire basic practical Big Data skills. Furthermore, there will be plenty of opportunities to exchange ideas and to discuss the topics with other participants and speakers. The talks and keynotes in the morning will be held in english. For the practical sessions in the afternoon good english and java programming skills are required. The number of participants is limited so that we will select interested participants based on their provided information about motivation, prior knowledge and interests.
Be invited to dive into Big Data and the vibrant city of Leipzig with its amazing new Lakes Land and its cultural tradition.

B-APCO eCall Conference
2016-09-13 | AVAYA HQ, Surrey, United Kingdom
The eCall conference staged by British-APCO, is one of the first events in the UK to explore the implications of the eCall service, (This applies to both the Private and the forth-coming public eCall Service). We’ll be discussing and debating important questions including:

What do the eCall Chain stakeholders in the UK need to be doing to prepare for this new technology”?

What are the implications for the emergency services, is it all good news?

What difference could eCall make to other services that support the emergency services, how can this new way of notifying incidents be harnessed?

eCall is just the start of the technology linked to the Connected Car, how will this affect operational deployments and tasking?

What could the future bring in terms of the deployment of these technologies that are linked to Global Navigation Systems and Services and the provision of data to the emergency services.

The European Transport Conference
2016-10-05 - 2016-10-07 | Casa Convalescencia, Sant Antoni Maria Claret, 171, , Barcelona, 08041, Spain
The European Transport Conference is the focus of the activities of the Association for European Transport and is the key annual event for European transport practitioners and researchers. The Conference is a “meeting of minds”, where transport professionals come together to keep up-to-date with policy issues, research findings and best practice across a broad spectrum of transport. Papers are presented by active professionals, selected by the most respected members of the transport profession in Europe.
Uniquely in Europe, the Conference provides a forum for the coming together of research, policy and practice in transport. The Association is committed to providing a meeting place for transport practitioners and researchers from all parts of the world, from new entrants to the profession to established senior figures.
If you come to the Conference, it may be to present a paper or to listen to others but you will find yourself in the midst of an expanding network of professionals who are committed to a common cause of understanding the transport agenda to be tackled in Europe and its neighbouring countries. The key importance of networking is reflected in the Conference structure, which provides ample opportunities for informal discussions and social meetings.
Each year, the Conference attracts new delegates who find that it is a unique event in Europe, where they can find in-depth presentations on policy issues, research findings and best practice across a broad spectrum of transport modes. Equally, about one third of delegates come every year – confirmation of the quality technical and policy papers and the overall excellent value for money of attendance. Market research consistently rates highly the value for money offered by the Conference.
The organisational structure of the conference encourages participation in Programme Committees – seen by many AET members as an important networking and professional development opportunity.
