Hallo Leute,

Einige von euch (ETs und EETs) haben gesagt, sie würden gerne mal wo anders hinfahren. Ich weiß nicht mehr genau, wer das war, also hier eine Nachricht an die ganze Gruppe:

Unten stehen die Workshops, die im Moment aktuell sind. Wenn ihr Interesse habt, meldet euch BEI MIR (aachen@eestec.de). Ich werde dann Kontakt mit den jeweiligen Organisatoren aufnehmen. Sie brauchen nämlich meine Bestätigung, dass ihr von LC Aachen seid. Ansonsten, traut euch, fahrt weg. Und wer weiß, vielleicht werden ihr auch Spaß dabei haben :-). Ich glaube ich kenne niemanden, der mal weg war und gesagt hat: Oh mein Gott, das war ja entsetzlich, das mach ich nie wieder! Es sind alles coole Leute und sehr gutes Programm! Im Grunde brauch ihr keine Kenntnisse über das jeweilige Thema habe. Ihr brach nicht Telekommunikation zu studiern um an einem solchen Event leitzunehmen. Sollte mal tatsächlich Hintergrundwissen erforderlich sein, steht es in der Einladung. Also, keine angst!

Grüße Andreea

And now in english:

some of you said, they wanted to go abroad. Here are some workshops, which you can apply now. If you are interested, WRITE ME (aachen@eestec.de). I will have to make contact with the organisers. Direct applications won't be considered, because, they need my confirmation, that you are from LC Aachen. So, be brave, take your chance and visit other countries. The people are great and the scheduels are great, too. You don't have to be expert in the field, which the workshop will contain. You don't have to study telecommunications to attend a worksop about mobile telec. If there should be, such a request, the invitation will inform you. So don't be shy! The current workshops are listed below:

*LC Ljubljana* *Workshop:* *Next Generation Mobile Services* *Date: 6th - 12th April 2009 * *Deadline to apply is 1st of March.* *Number of participants: 15

*Hello EESTEC people,

we are proud to present to you our next workshop, called *"Next Generation Mobile Services"*. Not only are you going to learn about recent trends and technologies in mobile and telecommunication industry, you will actively take part in developing your own IP-based application, that will be deployable on a range of devices, including mobile phones, PCs, set-top boxes, PDAs... You will get to know the latest production-quality IMS open source development framework, called Service Development Studio. As SDS is Java-based framework, it is highly advisable that you be familiar with object-oriented programming (OOP) and have worked with an OOP language before. Do not worry if you do not know Java, the first day will be dedicated to basics, so you will become comfortable with IDE and language:)).

Of course, there is so much more to taking part in this workshop than what you have just read! We are working hard so that you will spend unforgettable time here in Ljubljana. There will be City Rally, International drink and food night, visiting Ljubljana's castle, sightseeing...

You will be spending the weekend before departure in the countryside, learning the secret "snake" game, getting to know "Mongolia" and dancing "Here we come, here we go"! :))

************************************************* *LC Ljubljana* *Workshop:* *Power Engineering Today and Tomorrow* *Date: 6th - 12th April 2009 * *Deadline to apply is 1st of March.* *Number of participants: 15*

mailto:eestec.ljubljana@uni-lj.si Dear EESTECers!

After looong time LC Ljubljana is proud to announce its WS... *Power Engineering Today and Tomorrow (PETT)*.

PETT is a traditional workshop, where we discuss about current problems and future challenges in power engineering field. This year's topic will be *ELECTRICAL ENERGY INDEPENDENCE*.

Energy consumption everywhere is increasing every year, although there haven't been many investments in infrastructure and new renewable resources. In past the system has always been re-dimensioned, so regular users (people) now don't aware that the whole system is on the edge of its capabilities. I the last decade, ways of producing electrical energy has been drastically changed, in addition to that, the whole concept of production and distribution of electrical energy is on doorstep of its changes. Instead of big producing units with conventional resources (nuclear plants, thermo plants) and one-way distribution system, we have now mass of small, low power renewable resources (wind turbines, solar plants...). Can we cover all of the needs for electrical power with renewable resources, is fission more appropriate, or do we expect from scientists to handle the process of fusion?

Participants will receive lectures by some of European most acknowledged experts and professors, on:

* renewable resources * nuclear energy * transmission of energy * overview of current situation in energetic in Europe * distributed generation of electrical energy * vision and future plans for European electrical energy development * and more

On practical part will participants make some of practical experiments and make some solutions on current problems in energetic field, which concerns our every day life. There will be also excursion to nuclear power plant Krško.

*As we say in Ljubljana, WORK HARD, PARTY HARDER!!!* There will also be plenty of time for sightseeing and attending parties in local clubs and pubs (who has the craziest parties in EESTEC !?!). After the long but still to short(!) week, we'll take you out of city for the weekend to relax and to get some outdoor fun.

We really look forward to see you in Ljubljana. Be ready for an amazing week, full of quality lectures, crazy parties and be prepared to push your creativity, mind and spirit to the limits!

************************************************* *LC Banja Luka* Workshop: *"World of Networks '09: Next Generation Networks"* When: *from* *14^th to 20^th March* Number of places: *20 EESTECers* Deadline to apply: *25^th February* mailto:banjaluka@eestec.net

Hello EESTECers!

Well people, you can be sure that those who come will spend seven memorable days and enjoy the spring colors of our city... A lot of fun, a lot of parties, gigs, gallons of beer, girls, guys, etc. are reasons good enough to come here and together we will make this event an unforgettable one. Girls should skip the next sentence, but there are still some boys without girlfriends left - a few, but enough!:) They say that female:male ratio in Banja Luka is 7:1. I don't know if that is true, but believe me, it might be nearly like that. You must come and check it for yourself!

Brave ones will take part in a rafting tour down the Vrbas river. It was planned as an obligation for every participant if the Workshop was in summer, but since the water is very very (even more very) cold, only those who really want some more adrenaline in their blood will raft...

...what am I saying ... of course that everyone will raft. Free aspirin (with rakija) and warm blankets will be given afterwards. I am sure that we will not disappoint you on this funturistic part of the Workshop.

Now, something about educational part of this Workshop. There will be at least two days of lectures and presentations. Of course, workshop will be about */telecommunication networks/*. The main topic will be */Next Generation Networks and IMS/* and their key role in delivering multimedia services (including voice, pictures, text and video, or any combination of these) across fixed and mobile networks. We will discuss how this convergence of networks and services affects implementing triple play, and what will be further development of future telecommunication networks.

More information will be available soon on our website http://www.eestec.etfbl.net.

*Event:* E-Health

*Organizing LC:* LC Madrid *Time:* 12th April - 19th April 2009 *Deadline:* 24th February 2009

*Participants number:* 20 (probably higher)

*Website:* http://www.eestec.es/english/e-health-2009/2

Hi EESTECers!

We're proud to announce our first event for 2009! Due to the high success of our last event, we've decided to strike back with the same topic for this year's workshop: *E-Health*. The topic, (as maybe you can infere from the title) is Bioengineering and Telemedicine. The event will be held from 12th to 19th April.

And what about party? As we say about our city: Madrid never sleeps. During the whole week you'll have a lot of chances to feel Madrid's party and lifestyle, as well as to visit some of the landmarks of our city and participate in the traditional city rally.

We're also organizing a huge surprise for the weekend you'll definitely like :D. If you want to know more about this, you have no other choice than applying from the event and discovering it yourself!

Another important point... We're sorry to have to say this, but as we don't apply for EU grant, every year we have to make great efforts to find sponsors for our events. In previous events some years back, we had problems with some people showing a total lack of consideration for our work, sleeping during conferences with the sponsors and university professors, which made us lose all our credibility among them. This time we won't tolerate anything similar. Joking apart, participants will be warned and eventually expelled from the event if warnings are disregarded. When there is time to party, we party (and trust me, there will be! :D), but when it's time to work, we work (and later we have party!).

Acceptance criteria won't be FIFO, but the time of your application will be highly considered
