The Event brings together researchers and innovators, policy and business decision-makers working in the field of digital technologies. The ICT Event:

The ICT Event is organised by the European Commission's Directorate General for the Information Society and Media and is usually hosted by the current Presidency of the European Union. This year, the ICT event will take place from 25 to 27 November in Lyon, France. LINK: ICT 2008 home page Technology and economy of European environmental information space Apart from being the key European ICT event in 2008, ICT 2008 offers the unique chance to discuss the European research agenda for the next decade. One topic that we would like to discuss on ICT 2008 is the long-term technical and economic perspective of the emerging "European environmental information space". With this in mind, SANY IP partners proposed a networking session called "Technology and economy of European environmental information space". Although officially initiated by the SANY IP, this networking session is open for everyone interested in technological and economic sustainability of the emerging European environmental information systems. The proposed discussion topics include:
what is the acceptable price level of information and services for these applications? How to survive and flourish in an open information space? (Sustainable business models) what can we build upon today (architecture, re-usable services, specifications, standards)? which major technical issues remain to be solved? which role will emerging sensor technology (moving sensors, ad hoc networks, smart sensors... etc) play in this context? Please follow the link below to support our networking proposal and share your thoughts on this interesting topic with the rest of the ICT community.

This autumn, SANY partners from SP4, SP5 and SP6 ("validation sub projects") shall present the results of the v1 SANY development cycle in three separate public demonstrations dedicated to "air quality", "marine risks" and "urban geo hazards". Detailed information on these events shall be announced in next SANY newsletter. Sensors Anywhere Integrated Project (SANY IP) is an FP6 Integrated Project (contract number 0033564) co-funded by the Information Society and Media DG of the European Commission within the RTD activities of the Thematic Priority Information Society Technologies. SANY newsletter is the main external communication medium of the SANY project. Its aim is to inform the decision makers, fellow researches, producers and users of environmental information systems and all other people interested in the subject of environmental monitoring on the progress of the project and on events organized by the SANY consortium.
