He has made substantial contributions to both the theoretical and applied aspects of these fields, with measurable scientific and practical outcomes.
ERCIM and JST (Japan Science and Technology Agency) are co-organizing the 5th joint workshop on ‘Exploring New Research Challenges and Collaborations in AI/BD/HCI/IoT. This workshop aims to present recent results and emerging R&D work conducted in European institutions and in the context of the JST AIP (Advanced Integrated Intelligence Platform) project in Japan. This event will provide an opportunity to its European and Japanese participants to discuss research challenges in these areas, as well as to consider collaboration prospects that may arise in the context of European programs and the relevant counterpart initiatives of JST.
In this workshop, invited participants will investigate research challenges, social aspects as well as potential collaboration opportunities in the following topics:

Budapest, 14-15 October 2024
For the third edition of the Forum, co-organized by ERCIM, SZTAKI, and the CCNE-numérique, the program will consist of invited presentations, invited contributions to round tables, a tutorial session, and selected contributions based on the answers to this call. The program will be structured into six topical sessions focusing on ethical issues in digital research about Cultural Influences, Democracy, Regulation Making, Cooperative Agents, Digital Health, and Emerging Topics; and two sessions for a Tutorial and Selected Contributions. We invite the community to propose contributions in the form of short presentations. These can include case study reports, novel developments from research projects, policy recommendations, or proposals and hypotheses put forward for discussion.
The ERCIM 2024 spring meetings will be held on 21-22 May 2024 in Málaga, Spain & online. The meetings are hosted by our member ITIS Software/Univerisity of Malaga. Online participation will be possible. Registration is mandatory.

The EU-funded project TERMINET has worked on next-generation IoT across six realistic use cases, featuring software-defined networking, edge computing, virtualization, federated learning, augmented, and virtual reality interfaces. For TERMINET, ERCIM focused on standardization, as well as conducting research on moving beyond the limitations of current approaches to knowledge representation and reasoning.

We are pleased to share insights from the recent 4th Workshop jointly organized by ERCIM and the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST), held in Kyoto, Japan, in October 2023. This workshop, themed “Exploring New Research Challenges and Collaborations in Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, Human-Computer Interaction, and the Internet of Things,” served as a dynamic platform for European and Japanese researchers to present their latest findings and discuss future collaborations.
Hosted by JST as part of the Advanced Integrated Intelligence Platform project, the event successfully fostered discussions on cutting-edge research and development in critical technological domains. Participants had the unique opportunity to explore potential partnerships within the framework of European Commission programs and corresponding initiatives by JST, setting the stage for innovative international collaborations in the fields of AI, Big Data, HCI, and IoT.

The responsible and ethical conduct of research in science and engineering is critical for excellence, socially relevant impact and public trust. Digital and connected technologies have increasingly become intertwined with our individual and collective daily lives, mediating our communications, profiling our behaviours, changing how we think, live and act, and presenting new tensions that interrogate the applications of standard guiding ethical principles. Research in digital sciences - including computer science, automatic control, robotics and applied mathematics - raises many new ethical challenges resulting from interactions between humans and deep tech. Researchers in digital sciences face tough ethical questions in their daily activity for which there aren't yet consensual answers.
