EPSRC is holding a two-day workshop on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing. It is our aim to draw together as wide a selection of expertise as possible covering multiple angles in challenge and application domains. This will include those with a background in different fields who are now turning their expertise to problems in pervasive and ubiquitous computing.
eFutures hosted an Early Career Researcher's event at The International Centre for Life, Newcastle upon Tyne on Thursday 14th December 2017 which included the following speakers and discussions:
Embedded AI
AI, Neural Networks or Machine Learning technologies are being adopted in many circumstances, but usually all the data has to be sent to a server for processing before being acted upon.

Overview
The eFutures ECR Workshop took place on 31st August - 1st September 2017 at Clare College, Cambridge. This was a free event to all members, fully funded by the EPSRC eFutures Network.
Aims and Objectives of the Workshop
The MEMS conference series has emerged over the last decades as the flagship event for communicating the latest, high-quality results in all fields of microsystems which are geared to promote submissions from industry.
In addition to an exciting scientific program including four high-caliber plenaries, IEEE MEMS is evidently also a great opportunity for networking and community building.
The Knowledge Transfer Network is organising a free AI event on Thursday 23rd November 2017 in London.
Embedded AI
AI, Neural Networks or Machine Learning technologies are being adopted in many circumstances, but usually all the data has to be sent to a server for processing before being acted upon.
The EPSRC Network Teranet, in conjunction with the EPSRC Network eFutures are hosting a meeting on Monday 10 and Tuesday 11 July 2017 at the Grand Harbour Hotel in Southampton. The topic will be a series of talks and discussions around the recently published 2017 Roadmap for Terahertz Science and Technology, which Teranet co-ordinated.
The themes for this year’s Annual Community Event were the EPSRC Cross-ICT Priorities: Cross-Disciplinarity and Co-Creation and Future Intelligent Technologies.
Presentations covered the broad landscape of electronics research, from the physical layer through circuit architecture and up to applications and we will cover gaps where new research is needed and discussions took place about how eFutures members can get involved in joint collaborative research.
We had an impressive line-up of speakers (see below) and we have attached the presentations:
Date: Thursday 31st August – Friday 1st September
Venue: Clare College, Cambridge
