SUMMARY:Critical conversations: End of life for data and the internet of things
DESCRIPTION:In this conversation\, we will explore the legal\, ethical and safety challenges created by the immortality of digital data and how the engineering community can address them. \nIn the next online event as part of the Critical conversations series\, Academy CEO\, Dr Hayaatun Sillem CBE\, will be joined by Professor Ana Basiri\, Professor in Geospatial Data Science at the University of Glasgow and Safer End of Engineered Life Champion. \nUnlike most engineered products\, when digital data reaches the end of its useful life it can be stored indefinitely. In this conversation\, we will explore the legal\, ethical\, and safety challenges created by the immortality of digital data and how the engineering community can address them. The conversation will also look whether ‘digital is always greener’ when data storage and maintenance is energy intensive and has such an environmental impact. \nAddressing safety challenges in the decommissioning or disposal of engineered products is part of the Engineering X Safer End of Engineered Life mission. \nRecording notice\nPlease note this event will be recorded and published on the Royal Academy of Engineering website. Your video will be off and your account will be muted throughout the entire event. Only the speakers and presentations will be visible on your screen. \nAccessibility\nIt is very important to the Royal Academy of Engineering that our events are accessible to all. If you have any accessibility requirements\, please contact the Events team at events@raeng.org.uk at your earliest convenience so that necessary arrangements can be made.

SUMMARY:A Future Economy Powered by Clean Hydrogen
DESCRIPTION:As a region with a history of innovation and engineering excellence\, Northern Ireland is now presented with the opportunity to be at the forefront on the next revolution in driving a future economy powered by clean energy. \nThis event will look at the exciting prospect of a Hydrogen economy; its potential to drive economic development\, secure and sustain high-skilled\, well-paid jobs\, develop indigenous resilient energy security and most importantly\, reduce greenhouse emissions contributing to Northern Ireland’s net-zero goals. \nTwo complimentary reports from The Advanced Manufacturing Innovation Centre and Matrix – The Northern Ireland Science Industry Panel\, examine the changes needed to provide the policy\, oversight\, governance and investment to transform the Northern Ireland economy from being heavily reliant on fossil fuels to attaining energy independence through locally produced\, clean renewable energy.

SUMMARY:Computational Neuroscience\, Neurotechnology and Neuro-inspired AI Autumn School
DESCRIPTION:The Computational Neuroscience\, Neurotechnology and Neuro-inspired AI Autumn School will be held from 24-28 October 2022\, in person at the Intelligent Systems Research Centre in Ulster University\, Magee campus. There will also be an option for online attendance. \nApplication deadline: 1st September 2022 (online and in-person). \nDecision for in-person applicants (limited to 40): 9th September 2022. \nBackground\nThere have been rapid advancements and investments in research and development in brain sciences\, neurotechnology\, neural data modelling and neuro-inspired artificial intelligence (AI). \nThese advancements have not only led to deeper understanding of brain functions and disorders\, but also the development and application of powerful AI and machine-learning algorithms that affect our everyday life. In fact\, historically\, AI was inspired by how intelligence arises from the brain. \nThe Computational Neuroscience\, Neurotechnology and Neuro-inspired AI (CN3) Autumn School aims to train the next generation of researchers on these state-of-the-art developments. This short course will touch on the areas of computational neuroscience\, neural data science\, neurotechnology and neuro-inspired AI. \nThe School is unique in that important and timely topics either not delivered in other Schools or taught courses\, or delivered only individually\, will be delivered here in an integrated way\, from pedagogical to advanced levels. These topics include computational modelling of neural-glial systems\, neuromodulators\, cognition\, neurotechnology\, neuromorphic computing\, self-repaired intelligent machines\, spiking neural networks and cognitive robotics. Mathematical foundations\, coding exercises\, ethics and entrepreneurship will also be covered. Moreover\, although neural computation and neuro-inspired AI research are conducted in the island of Ireland\, there is very little relevant training and taught courses\, especially for early career researchers\, in the region; this School aims to bridge this gap. \nFor  enquiries\, please contact KongFatt via e-mail (k.wong-lin@ulster.ac.uk).
