ERCIM takes part in ICT 2010, the bi-annual event organised this year by the European Commission on 27-29 September in Bruxelles. With a joint information stand, ERCIM and ETSI will demonstrate that standardisation should be considered early in the R&D cycle in order to optimise the markets for European industry.
Together with ACM Europe, ERCIM has arranged the networking session " ICT Professional Societies: Which Opportunities for Europe?" (session T004 on Tuesday 28 September 2010 from 14:00-15:30).
The Coordination Action InterLink (International Cooperation Activities in Future And Emerging ICTs), coordinated by ERCIM and ICS-FORTH, and funded by the Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) Programme of the European Commission, has elaborated research roadmaps for international collaboration in the domains of Software-Intensive Systems and New Computing Paradigms; Ambient Computing and Communication Environments and Intelligent and Cognitive Systems.
ERCIM has changed its "ercim.org" top-level domain to "ercim.eu". By chosing the .eu domain name, ERCIM clearly emphasises the European dimension of the organisation. ERCIM had registered its .eu domain name already when this top-level domain was launched in 2006. It was operational since then but redirected to the now historical ercim.org domain acquired in 1996.
This change concerns all ERCIM web sites as well as the ERCIM email addresses and mailing lists. Please update your links and bookmarks.
In a tight competition, the ERCIM Executive Committee has chosen Teemu Roos from the Helsinki Institute for Information Technology HIIT as the winner of the 2009 Cor Baayen Award for a promising young researcher in computer science and applied mathematics.
