[webinar] From biomass to biobased products: #1 Choosing the right feedstock strategy - 26 September 2019, Online
Biomass availability is complex to estimate. It is necessary to assess which feedstock is available close by to avoid high transport costs. The feedstock must also have sufficient quality and specific characteristics to meet the technical requirements of the plant. The cost and sustainability of the chosen biomass are equally crucial. This webinar, organised as part of the Bio4Products project, will explore all these key aspects drawing from the long-standing experience of three experts in biomass feedstocks.

The future of science advice in Europe - 13 November 2019, Helsinki
This one-day event on 13 November in Helsinki brings together leading practitioners and scholars to reflect on emerging trends, weak signals, and promising opportunities for developing next-generation science advice capabilities. Today’s world faces an increasingly complex and interconnected policy environment. This has prompted the EU and national governments to rethink existing tools and structures for designing policy, and to seek innovative ways to govern. This rethinking extends also to science advice. Many key policy challenges of the twenty-first century depend on scientific fields where the evidence is comp...

Spiking neural networks: Applications to computing, algorithmics, and robotics - 18 September 2019, Munich, Germany
Spiking neural networks (SNN) are a special class of artificial neural networks (ANN), in which the information is transmitted by means of pulses (or spikes) rather than by firing rates. As SNNs have shown to be excellent control systems for biological organisms, they have the potential to produce good control systems for autonomous robots. This workshop aims to bring together neuroscientists with roboticists and computational researchers developing biologically-inspired learning algorithms for scientific and industrial applications. In order to enrich the discussions of SNN and its applications to computing, algorithm...
