SmartBay Ireland User Workshop: ‘Supporting research & innovation through test and validation’ Registration Details and Draft Agenda Announcing the upcoming 3rd annual SmartBay Ireland User Workshop on Wednesday, 26th of November 2014 at the Royal Irish Academy, Dublin. This event will be hosted by SmartBay Ireland and our research partners Dublin City University, through the National Infrastructure Access Programme (NIAP). With the theme of ‘Supporting research & innovation through test and validation’ the Workshop will demonstrate how supports and facilities available at the National marine test and demonstration facility in Galway Bay can underpin the development of novel technologies and data analytics to support the research, ocean energy and marine ICT sectors. This Workshop will examine research and development opportunities for device developers and sensor manufacturers both locally and internationally, and will include keynote speakers from across all relevant industry sectors and government agencies. The conference will be attended by extensive national and international representatives from both research and industry sectors; including Ocean Energy, Sensor Technology Development, Aquaculture, Environmental and Research and Development. A delegation of companies and public sector representatives from Canada will also be attending the event. The structure of the workshop will be interactive with the aim of stimulating discussion and to obtain feedback from existing and future users of the National facility. Presentations are therefore scheduled for 10 minutes, and followed by a Q&A session. Please find a draft agenda attached which outlines the schedule for the day.
