During this dialogue, the role of online platforms for collective awareness and action will be explored.

Commission takes first step to ensure life-saving emergency call system for road accidents in place by 2015. The first measure to ensure that by 2015 your car can dial emergency services for you when you have a serious accident has been adopted by the European Commission today. The Commission wants the life-saving eCall system to be fitted to all new models of cars and light vehicles from 2015. eCall automatically dials Europe’s single emergency number 112 in the event of a serious accident and communicates the vehicle’s location to the emergency services. A Commission Recommendation adopted on 8th September, urges Member States to ensure that mobile phone network operators upgrade their infrastructure so that eCalls are efficiently passed on to emergency services. http://europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=IP/11/1010&format=HTML&aged=0&language=EN&guiLanguage=en

28 February to 4 March 2012 in Tokyo, Japan. ‘Mathematics for innovation – large and complex systems’. In many industries, mathematics is used to conduct virtual experiments. For example, the field is a help in simulating multiple scenarios for a given phenomenon and its control and optimisation. Mathematics is also used in helping explain social, environmental, and economic phenomena. This connection is especially strong in areas where innovation is seen as contributing to the well-being of society, such as health, security, communications and environment. http://cordis.europa.eu/search/index.cfm?fuseaction=events.document&EV_RCN=33787

18 to 21 April 2012 in Porto, Portugal. Second International Conference on Cloud Computing and Services Science. Emerging enterprise technologies are changing the way that some look at information and communication technologies (ICT).

Other entities view the ‘external’ ICT as a potential disaster recovery system or as an on-demand capacity to boost business continuity and customer service levels. These trends can further extend to anything which is a service, and is often referred to collectively as cloud computing. http://cordis.europa.eu/search/index.cfm?fuseaction=events.document&EV_RCN=33788
