TRA Workshop: Academia and Job Market: How to Match?
2016-04-20 09:00 - 17:00 (Europe/Brussels)
TRA2016 – workshop
Wednesday, 20 April 2015
Theme “Building European transport academic excellence: which offer to students? which contribution to onnovation”

TRA organises this year a workshop, mainly aimed at young students, that ill highlight the various opportunities offered by high level studies in transport disciplines, as well as stimulate an in-depth analysis of the need for new academic curricula to respond to the modern l needs of industry.
Furthermore, Europe is still missing a strong network of academic excellence centres in transport. The workshop should be the first step towards the creation of scientific connections between universities and research centres at the European level to be integrated into the existing research associations and thus fulfil an important gap in the landscape of transport science in Europe.

Improving Access to Healthcare through Intelligent Mobility
2016-06-14 - 2016-06-15 | Herbert Art Gallery, Coventry
A workshop for everyone with an interest in transport, health care delivery and developing age friendly transport.
Co-design for service innovation is increasingly used to encourage user engagement in the human-centred design of complex systems and services. The biggest challenge in designing transport services with mobility in mind requires consideration of the public, the decision makers and the system itself. The challenge is in the match of these systems of user requirements and data that is often beyond transport related.
This 2-days participatory workshop will show how open innovation and data-driven design can be realised through co-design with a human-centred approach for transport services. We will be working on a real problem – improving access to health care facilities for elders – which has been highlighted as a priority by the Age Friendly City Initiative in Coventry. Although some discussions may have a Coventry focus, the problems, methods and co-created solutions will be applicable to cities in the UK. The workshop will make possible an interaction between users, stakeholders and the related data in order to achieve open innovation for a human-centred mobility services.

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.
