The European project LAMBDA (Learning, Applying, Multiplying Big Data Analytics) is glad to announce the “Big Data Analytics” Summer School that will be organized by the Institute Mihajlo Pupin, from 18^th to 20^th of June 2019. LAMBDA deals with large-scale data-processing technologies and the program aims at introducing methods and technologies for modeling and processing data in the form of semantic network / graph (Knowledge Graph), as well as data processing and analysis of Big Data.

More information about the organization of this event can be found on the website of the LAMBDA project.

The InnoTrans is organized by the Messe Berlin. The twelfth InnoTrans will take place from 18 to 21 September 2018.

At the last InnoTrans Fair, in 2016, the Institute “Mihailo Pupin” exhibited its products for the first time. Due to the good visit to our stand and a great interest at the last fair, we have decided to participate this year as well. We will be present in Berlin and display our improved current and new railway safety and signaling devices, such as:  BROS- Train Axle Counter, UTD-Universal Train-Wheel Detector, Main, shunting and limit track LED signals, Railway LED indicator signals, Railway Safety HMI – MMI10, Signal Control Device – m2SCD, Voice recording system – ATIS VC-MDx, Universal LED module – LL-000.

Visit our stand from 18^th to 21^st September, 2018, at the InnoTrans Berlin Fair (Hall 5.2, stand 521) and get acquainted with the high quality of our safety and signaling railway devices that meet national and international standards as a result of development and design at the Institute “Mihailo Pupin “.

We cordially invite you all to visit us at Innotrans trade fair!

On 10th of December, 2015, Institute Mihajlo Pupin organized the Pacinno Public Policy Conference, “Innovations in Serbia – challenges and opportunities”.

PACiNNO (Platform for trans Academic Cooperation in Innovation) is one of many institute’s international projects. The goal of this project is to establish a platform for cooperation in research and innovation covering the whole Adriatic region. Targeting both research institutions, policy makers and business entities, the project will help develop new bridges between the research and scientific activities, carried out at academic institutions, and the economic system, with specific reference to the technological needs of SMEs.

Short report from this conference can be found at https://youtu.be/568Mlre3tu4.

The European Data Forum (EDF) is a meeting for industry professionals, researchers, policymakers and members of community initiatives to discuss the challenges of Big Data and the emerging Data Economy and to develop suitable action plans for addressing these challenges. Of special focus for the EDF are Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), since they are driving innovation and competition in many data-driven economic sectors. The range of topics discussed at the European Data Forum ranges from novel data-driven business models (e.g. data clearing houses), and technological innovations (e.g. Linked Data Web) to societal aspects (e.g. open governmental data as well as data privacy and security).

For more information about the event, please look at the EDF 2015 web page.

The 5^th Share-PSI 2.0 Workshop will be organized from 25 to 26 November 2015 and hosted by Fraunhofer Institute for Open Communication Systems (Fraunhofer FOKUS).  The workshop provides an opportunity for a wide variety of stakeholders to come together to discuss and build the relationship between the public and private sectors in the context of the Europe’s revised PSI Directive.

For more information about the event, please look at the Berlin’s Workshop web page.

Institute ‘Mihajlo Pupin’ is a partner in the SHARE-PSI 2.0 network since its establishment in February 2014.

The 2^nd Share-PSI 2.0 Workshop will be organized from 03 to 04 December 2014 at the National Laboratory for Civil Engineering (LNEC), Lisboa, Portugal. Hosted by the Portuguese Agency for Public Services Reform, AMA, the Lisbon workshop provides an opportunity for a wide variety of stakeholders to come together to discuss and build the relationship between the public and private sectors in the context of Europe’s revised PSI Directive.

Forward-Looking, Visionary Approaches for Public Sector Information Sharing and Utilisation

Call For Participation

Open data provides an unprecedented opportunity for innovation around transparent, evidence-based decision making, public engagement and trust. Just as importantly, it also facilitates more efficient government with each department or agency better able to reuse data collected and managed by their colleagues (perhaps very distant colleagues). Public sector information (PSI) may be offered as ”open data” in many forms and through different media: from simple datasets describing traffic or unemployment, to Web services linking and mashing information from different sources, to interactive visualisation of complex phenomena, to citizen-based data gathering and transmission. Through these different channels, new information is made available across the public and private sectors, to scientists, citizens and enterprises, all of whom are then able to benefit from each other’s activities in a growing network effect.

That’s the promise. So what’s the reality? With many initiatives already in place, what innovations have we seen both in terms of curation and publishing, and in terms of data reusage? What are the effiency gains? How much of the promise of open data is being fulfilled? Are expectations being met? If so, how? If not, is it the expectations or the implementation that is wrong?
