Fwd: ESP Community Events Calendar - 6 May 2015

[Geoff Hogg]

I'm on this KTN mailing list, they organise talks for tech transfer to putative UK businesses. I thought others in this group might be interested.

I plan to go to the Catapult meetup in the old Skillsmatter offices in Clerkenwell Monday afternoon.

Events Calendar 6 May 2015           Electronics, Sensors, Photonics Welcome to the Knowledge Transfer Network’s newsletter for the Electronics, Sensors, Photonics Community.       KTN Events     DEFINING FUTURE 5G NETWORKS: SME WORKSHOP 18 May, London The Digital Catapult Centre is hosting an SME workshop on defining the future 5G networks in an effort to support the small business communities in their preparations for this market opportunity. Attendees will have the chance to be engaged as the University of Surrey and the University of Bristol present their 5G test beds. More   Electronics & Sensors for Aerospace: HITEA Consortia Building Event 3 June, London Innovate UK is to invest £10m in collaborative research and development and feasibility studies to accelerate the commercialisation of highly innovative technologies for civil aerospace. This one-day event organised by KTN aims to bring together the Sensors and Electronics Communities with the Aerospace Community to address the challenges, discuss requirements and form consortia for the competition. More   Intelligent Sensing Programme 42 - Internet of Things 10 June, London Sensor devices are everywhere, and will play an increasingly important part in the Internet of Things revolution – indeed, a recent estimate predicts that by 2020, sensors will account for over 60% of the total installed base of the 30 billion devices in the 'Internet of Things'. This event aims to cover various aspects of this: Connectivity – how are sensor devices integrated together Energy Harvesting – how can devices be powered Creating actionable intelligence – how can the integration of multiple devices provide actionable intelligence to provide information greater than the sum of the individual parts More   Human cognition - enabling navigation 10 June, London Recent advances in understanding how humans process navigation information enable us to design more intuitive interfaces for navigation devices, and to improve user training, thereby resulting in enhanced safety and efficiency.   This new event brings together leading neuroscientists and navigation and situational awareness experts, to explore how new knowledge can make man/machine interfaces more intuitive to use, and to improve training. More   Bright Lights and Engineering 16 June, St Asaph This event will showcase where light is used in manufacturing that will highlight innovations in Wales using light in Manufacturing. This event is part of the Wales Festival of Innovation and brings together the KTN and representation from the regional experts from the Professional Institutes which include IMechE, IOP, IET, ICE and IChemE.  More   Biosensors in Agriculture 17 June, Birmingham Agricultural science is a fast growing market, but faces a significant global challenges in the form of a rising population, rapid development of emerging economies and shortages of land, water and energy. The aim of this workshop is to look at the sensing challenges in agriculture and to identify where current biosensors technology can be applied and where new biosensors technology is required.   In particular, this event will focus on: The major challenges in agricultural science and technology The contributions new biosensors can make to address these challenges Biosensors technology that can readily translate from healthcare to agriculture The requirements of new biosensors to address the sensing “gaps” in agriculture How biosensor-related projects can access the upcoming Agritech Catalyst call More     Partner Events     How can your small business benefit from the Catapult network? 11 May, London The Catapults are transforming UK innovation. Bringing together the best UK businesses, scientists and engineers to work on collaborative research and development, they are accelerating innovations to market to help grow the economy.   So join the Catapults on 11th May to meet the teams from the Cell Therapy, Digital, High Value Manufacturing, Offshore Renewable Energy, Transport Systems, Satellite Applications and Future Cities Catapults, along with some of the businesses they are already working with. More   Driving Global CollaborVation: DTG Summit 2015 12 May, London KTN is pleased to be supporting the 2015 DTG Summit.

Writer, broadcaster and consultant Steve Hewlett will host a day of original ideas and lively debate on the challenges facing the industry from a roster of guests covering all aspects of the digital media world. More   5TH USER/STAKEHOLDER WORKSHOP ON REMOTELY PILOTED AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS (RPAS) 21 May, Noordwijk The main objectives of the workshop are to present to ESA and EDA Member States representatives as well as to European RPAS stakeholders (user communities, industries, authorities) the preliminary findings of the 2nd element of the joint ESA-EDA RPAS demonstration initiative (DeSIRE2) and to inform them on other EDA and ESA RPAS related activities. More   HEPTech SYMPOSIUM 31 May-6 June, Prague This year from May 31st-June 6th HEPTech, based out of CERN will bring together applied physics researchers at an early stage in their careers, providing them with the opportunity of networking with commercially experienced professionals and technology transfer experts in order to develop their entrepreneurial potential. The travel and accommodation costs for the week will be covered and they will have a fantastic experience whilst over there. They intend to make the week be remembered for the rest of their lives.   Why are HEPTech and CERN doing this? Because they are trying to transform the capability of Physics to commercialise the basic research they produce.  More   Photonex Scotland Roadshow 3 June, Glasgow This roadshow brings together the UK’s top photonics technology supplier companies, leading researchers and invited speakers for a very special one-day conference: Advances in photonic tools and techniques for the life sciences. More   HPC Midlands Industry Breakfast 16 June, Loughborough HPC Midlands, the East Midlands Regional Centre of Excellence for High Performance Computing (HPC), is proud to welcome researchers and industry representatives to learn about the power of HPC in delivering competitive advantages, and how to connect those advantages with collaboration, funding and innovation opportunities within Advanced Engineering and Manufacturing, Energy, Life Sciences and Big Data Analytics. Hosted on the Loughborough University Science & Enterprise Parks HPC Midlands is in a unique position to pair its advanced supercomputing facility and University experts across many disciplines with industry looking for a low-cost, low-risk method to speed their time to market, achieve more ambitious products or secure burst-out capacity. More   Nuclear Knowledge Management and Cyber Security Conference 2015 17-18 June, Cardiff Enhance knowledge and information transparency along your nuclear supply chain whilst maintaining the highest standards of cyber security.    The Nuclear Knowledge Management and Cyber Security Conference is a meeting point that’s the first of its kind.
