5G PPP "How can 5G help resolve global water challenges?" Industry panel @WCNC'18
2018-04-18 11:00 - 12:30 (Europe/Berlin)
IEEE WCNC is the world premier wireless event that brings together industry professionals, academics, and individuals from government agencies and other institutions to exchange information and ideas on the advancement of wireless communications and networking technology.
The conference will feature a comprehensive technical program offering numerous technical sessions with papers showcasing the latest technologies, applications and services. In addition, the conference program includes workshops, tutorials, keynote talks from industrial leaders and renowned academics, panel discussions, a large exhibition, business and industrial forums.
Six Panels are organised. Miquel Payaró, 5G-IA Board Member, co-organises together with key members of WWRF, the P5 industry panel “How can 5G resolve global water challenge?” on April 18th, 11:00am-12:30am.

5G-TRANSFORMER @1st Workshop of COntrol and Management of network slices for VERTicals (COMVERT)
2018-04-15 09:00 - 2018-04-18 17:00
5G-TRANSFORMER co-organises the First Workshop of COntrol and Management of network slices for VERTicals (COMVERT) in conjunction with the IEEE WCNC. The IEEE WCNC is the only IEEE conference focused exclusively on wireless research, technology, and applications. The 2018 edition of this conference will be held in Barcelona on April 15-18, 2018 at the Barcelona International Convention Centre (CCIB) and will be organized by the Centre Tecnològic de Telecomunicacions de Catalunya (CTTC)
The Phase 2 5G PPP project calls for papers.
