EU NanoSafety Cluster’s Post

May 17th marks the anniversary of the creation of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). The ITU is an agency of the UN, with responsibilities such as: - Managing the radio spectrum, by coordinating the shared global use of radio transmission frequencies; - Assigning satellite orbits, promoting international cooperation in placement of satellites in nonconflicting orbits; - Developing technical standards for networks and technologies; - Improving access to Internet and Computer Technologies (ICTs) for underserved communities. The World Standards Cooperation (W2C) is an alliance of the ITU, ISO and IEC (The International Electrotechnical Commission), three organizations that often collaborate on standards development. Some aspects of enabling smart farming will be good targets for this kind of joint work. While agriculture in many of the world's largest food exporters is already highly mechanized and ICT-intensive, the Global South can benefit enormously from advances that can be enabled by standards, such as lower-cost telecommunications and platforms for deploying AI models to small devices. #isotc347 #datadrivenagrifoodsystems #iso #isostandards #agriculture #food #agrifood #smartfarming #data #wtisd

Good morning, if you want, like us, to develop a technology that might be of help to the International Atomic Energy Agency in running their inspections for the safety of our world, please check out this NAVISP Invitation To Tender EL1-077 on "TECHNOLOGICAL ENABLERS OF CELLULAR NETWORKS FOR PVT ASSURANCE"

In the mid-20th century, #Europe embarked on a remarkable journey of scientific and technological collaboration, resulting in the birth of what was known as the #Europe_of_the_Atom. This era was characterized by groundbreaking advancements in #NuclearPower and a #Spirit_of_Cooperation that transcended national borders... #Euroatom, was the first step for the #Europe_of_the_Athom, linked to #The_Marshall_Plan help to #Europe to add #NuclearPower to its #EnergyMix, help to #Europe´s economy to generate energy to recover from the effects of the second world war... Today, as we face the #EnergyTrilemma, it is imperative that we resurrect this #Spirit_of_Cooperation, it´s imperative that we resurect the #Europe_of_the_Athom... It is not merely a nostalgic nod to the past; it is a strategic imperative for addressing the urgent challenges of today and tomorrow!!! By embracing #NuclearEnergy as a cornerstone of our #EnergyPolicy, #Europe can lead the way in building a sustainable, secure, and prosperous future. It is time for #Europe to recover its historical leadership, it´s time for #Europe to forget political ideologies or #ClimateChangeUtopias, it´s time for #Europe to once again unite in the pursuit of #ScientificExcellence and #TechnologicalInnovation, for the benefit of all its citizens and the world at large!!!

This letter investigates the downlink/forward transmission of linear #space-#time #block #coded (#STBC) signals through multiple geographically distributed #non-#geostationary #orbit (#NGSO) satellites. As such, by combining the signals through multiple satellites, STBC provides a diversity advantage, which helps in combating the adverse effects of fading and interference at the #user #terminals (#UTs). The main challenge of implementing such a scheme is the lack of time synchronization and the interference effect through a multi-satellite system toward the UT. ----Dr. Vibhum Singh, Geoffrey Eappen, Rakesh Palisetty More details can be found at this link: https://lnkd.in/gXH47mnb

this is interesting and I think important for the future https://lnkd.in/d_EGX3n7

The outcomes of #ITUWRC-23 are a catalyst to the development of innovative radio technologies while ensuring equitable access to spectrum + orbital resources. Learn more with Sergey Pastukh, chair of the ITU CIS region working group WRC-23 preparations

EU Science, Research and Innovation facilitates your experimentation if your institution origins from #widening countries! 👉 More than 👩🔬 500 scientists from 🌍 33 countries collaborated in the 5 first years with the #JRC #researchinfrastructures in ⚛ #nuclear, #nanobiotechnology, #engineering, #energystorage such as #batteries and #hydrogen https://lnkd.in/e_qnGY9T

CERN’s accelerator complex, experimental areas and data centre need a complex cooling and ventilation system. It recently served as a testbed for digital simulations (#digitaltwin) to develop energy-saving scenarios through a joint CERN and ABB Motion research project.   An energy-saving opportunity of 17.4 percent in the cooling and ventilation motors was identified - the equivalent of the energy used by 18 thousand European households (EU average: ~1670 kWh/year). A selective upgrade of the motors with the highest energy-saving potential is planned in the near future and is in line with CERN’s commitment to minimising its environmental footprint.   Watch this video to learn more about this project and learn how industry can innovate with CERN.
