PICASSO Trans-Atlantic Symposium on ICT Technology and Policy
90 attendees exchanged with high-level EU and US
experts at the “Trans-Atlantic Symposium on ICT Technology and Policy – 5G
Networks, Big Data, Internet of Things and Cyber-Physical Systems for a Smart
Society” in Minneapolis, MN, USA on 19th-20th June 2017.
The Symposium was organised by PICASSO, an EU-funded project, co-sponsored by
the US National Science Foundation (NSF), Intelligent Manufacturing Systems
(IMS), the IEEE Control
System Society and the University of Minnesota, and hosted by the Technological Leadership Institute of University of
Minnesota. The PICASSO project is coordinated by inno TSD
and involves renown partners from the EU and the US.
The Symposium held in
Minneapolis brought together outstanding representatives of the academic, industrial and policy makers communities
from both the EU and the US in the areas of 5G Networks, Big Data, Internet of
Things and Cyber-Physical Systems, covering the spectrum of activities from research strategic prioritization,
research assessments, and pre-competitive research, via commercialisation
opportunities, to policy issues impacting the ICT area. The main objective of the symposium
was to explore the connections and interrelations among PICASSO’s technology
focus areas, and between these areas and policy, within an EU/US collaboration
context.
The
PICASSO project will build on the discussions of the Symposium over the next year and develop
targeted recommendations for international collaboration in ICT and the related
technology/policy nexus.For more information click here!
