The Centre has run the following events:
Real-time monitoring of infrastructure is becoming increasingly important for effective decision making. This workshop brought together researchers across the Faculty to explore opportunities and form new collaborations.
The C-IoT Management Group held an away day to reflect on the Centre's strategy for research, external engagement and education. 13 members of the Management Group attended, and discussions helped to shape the future Centre's future direction.
30 families joined Micro:bit and C-IoT staff/students on Lepe beach to find out more about IoT through hands-on activities
As part of FEPS Research Week, the Centre organised a poster event showcasing IoT research across the Faculty. 30 posters were presented, and around 70 researchers attended to find out more about IoT research in the Faculty.
This afternoon event on IoT technologies for Smart Cities included 9 presentations from both academics and industry, along with 7 supporting posters. We had around 70 attendees including university staff, students and external visitors.
The Centre held a short afternoon event on PhD research into IoT in ECS. With short talks and an opportunity for discussions with staff and PhD students, attendees found out more about supervisors, topics, funding, experiences, etc.
The Centre ran an internal 'hackathon' to bring together researchers in ECS with interests in IoT/Pervasive Systems to stimulate collaboration.
This afternoon event on the topic of IoT Security included 11 presentations from both academics and industry, along with supporting posters and demonstrations. We had over 70 attendees including university staff, students and external visitors.
The C-IoT organised an afternoon networking event for IoT researchers across ECS. 24 reseachers presented posters on topics ranging from nanotechnology to networking, and power efficiency to privacy. Over 50 attendees visited to find out more.
This workshop, jointly organised between the C-IoT, CMI, and ASSET research project combined oral and poster presentations focussing on AI and IoT technologies, and in particular on research aimed at tackling safety and security issues.
