EPoSS Annual Forum 2008

Dear Sir or Madam,

Smart Systems more and more constitute the decisive devices for product innovations and new applications. Smart systems are ranging from current highly integrated systems for control and energy management of cars up to the future smart, active sensing systems with integrated communication and identification functionality which will provide the basis of the future "Internet of things". Miniaturising and integrating functions and intelligence into conventional and new components and materials is crucial for the implementation of the vision of ambient intelligence.   

Illustrating the industrial aspects of Smart Systems development at present and in the future will be the objective of the EPoSS Annual Forum 2008 which will take place at

Le Meridien Garden Beach Hotel >>>

Juan-les-Pins, Antibes, France

on 1 & 2 October 2008

I kindly invite you to participate at the event and I would be particularly pleased to personally welcome you in Antibes. 

The first day of the forum (starting on October 1st  at 14:00h) is dedicated to the EPoSS members and all those who intend to become member reporting current activities and outlining the strategic intention of EPoSS. Subsequent working group meetings will complement the programme of the first day.

The second day (October 2nd) will show you highlights of current industrial R&D, provide you an insight view on future Smart Systems developments an inform you on the actions initiated towards the EPoSS Joint Technology Initiative (JTI).

Pre-Arranged Meetings: In conjunction with the public forum participants will have the chance to participate in pre-arranged meetings, which will allow them to have intensive one-to-one meetings with their partners of interest.

Yours sincerely

Dr. Klaus Schymanietz
Chairman of EPoSS
