DOWNLOAD THE 2017 AEIT CALL FOR PAPERS

Overview
In recent years, we are seeing a growing synergy between the infrastructures for the production, transmission and distribution of electricity, telecommunications networks, and computing technologies that provide for the intelligence of the whole system. The ever-increasing dependence on electricity for carrying out daily activities, increasingly run by smart devices, and the need for an intelligent management of the power grid in the presence of a distributed generation from renewable sources, both are creating a tight interdependent system. Cloud computing, big data, large bandwidth interconnections support modern knowledge-based society paradigms. The AEIT 2017 conference will be an important opportunity to point out the challenges that our country needs to face in order to stimulate innovative entrepreneurial initiatives, and increase the country's competitiveness. The conference will host both technical and scientific contributions. It will showcase Italian and international research activities in the fields of electricity, automation, telecommunications and information technology, that form the solid foundation on which to build innovative actions. It will also be the venue for hosting panels and speeches from national and international stakeholders for discussing the strategies to increase the competitiveness of Italian companies, and lay the foundations for the creation of new initiatives. Cagliari will be the ideal setting for this debate, thanks to the presence of innovative companies, and one of the pilot cities for the laying of optical fiber as an enabling infrastructure.

Energy Efficiency
Transmission, Distribution, Utilization of Energy
Telecommunications

CITTA 10th ANNUAL CONFERENCE ON PLANNING RESEARCH

Planning for Climate Change: Political Climate and Policy Changes

Theme of the conference

Over the last decades, climate change has evolved from an issue of interest to some natural scientists primarily, into one of the top priorities on the global policy agenda. Yet, domestic political institutions and policy-maker's normative commitments continue to play a key role in countries’ decisions to mitigate, to plan for and to adapt to the effects of climate change. Therefore, the extent to which the international political climate frames the nature of national policies for climate change is still very much on the agenda, but with new nuances and facets. The CITTA 10th Annual Conference on Planning Research tackles this timely issue by discussing the challenges that communities and governments face when it comes to planning for climate change.

São Paulo School of Advanced Science on Climate Change: Scientific basis, adaptation, vulnerability and mitigation

03-15 July 2017, São Paulo, Brazil

Application deadline: 31st March 2017

Goal: To provide graduate students with advanced knowledge on climate change science and related topics: Observations and future projections; impacts; vulnerability; adaptation and mitigation; and the Paris Agreement: How to reach the 1.5ºC target, including aspects of public policy. Participants will discuss with renowned scientists important themes of the three IPCC Assessment Report 5 Working Groups, in a multidisciplinary and multicultural context. The program will include theoretical classes, work in groups, a poster session, science-policy discussions, and visits to key institutions in the State of São Paulo conducting climate change research with policy applications.

Audience: This School is for graduate students and early career scientists. Priority will be given to candidates currently enrolled in graduate programs (Masters/MSc and Doctoral/PhD courses). About 100 students, 50 from Brazil and 50 from other countries, will be selected to participate in the School. A limited number of travel grants is available.

The School is organized by the INterdisciplinary CLimate INvestigation cEnter (INCLINE) and the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI), and sponsored by the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP), Pró Reitoria de Pesquisa/University of São Paulo (PRP/USP), IAI and Santander.

Dear Colleagues,

We have already seven submissions for the Special Session Walled Territories accepted for the ERSA Congress 2017 in Groningen. There is an extension of the Call for submission until the 28^th of February. We think this is a very important topic for the world today that deserves more deep thoughts and analysis from regional science and the authors are invited to submit their work to a special issue of Regional Science Policy and Practice.  

You have until the 28^th of February to propose an abstract https://ersa.eventsair.com/QuickEventWebsitePortal/2017-ersa-congress/official-website/ExtraContent/ContentSubPage?page=7&subPage=1 and a few months to develop the theme. The territorial illnesses of the world are nearby to be better understood. There are market and policy failures; but there are also science failures mostly when we are distracted from the reality.

Write your title, aims, methods and hypothesis in the abstract. There are loads of data to be treated and, we are sure, very effective results to be discussed, improved and publicised.

We can create a great year of 2017.

Andrea Szekely and Tomaz Dentinho
