TRA 2010 will be a golden opportunity for EU road transport stakeholders and researchers to discuss new strategies for completing the process that began at Gothenburg's TRA 2006: the process of creating a true 'European Road Transport Research Arena'. In a Europe of many cultures, traditions and languages, one of the challenges lies in getting researchers, business people and policy makers to reach common understanding. As issues such as sustainable mobility, and the competitiveness of our automotive industry rise up the political agenda, it becomes so much more important that the major players have an opportunity to meet, so they can discuss the direction to take in the future. TRA 2010 will provide such a meeting place. The conference programme is built up around six pillars, covering the different aspects of road transport and research:
I. European Road Research Needs and Agendas
II. Transport, Mobility and Infrastructure
III. Safety & Security
IV. Energy, Environment & Resources
V. Design & Production – Automotive and Infrastructure
VI. Social Importance of Road Transport

EURIDICE has a confirmed participation at the TRA 2010 and is also invited to have a demonstrator presentation in the exhibition. A stand will be installed in the exhibition area for EURIDICE and will offer to interested visitors the opportunity to see a demonstration of project results that constitute proof of concept solutions for industrial users.

The 2nd Annual Internet of Things 2010 conference will join together business leaders, consumer advocates, policymakers and entrepeneurs to explore what opportunities and risks the Internet of Things will offer businesses and consumers, and how these will re-shape our interactions with the real and virtual worlds in the coming years.
This high level conference, run with the support of the European Commission will explore the development of the Internet of Things and discuss the opportunities and challenges ahead.
It will explore and discuss the future of the Internet of Things with existing and potential application scenarios and the dimension of new services. It will look at how such smart connected objects and indeed cities may evolve in the future and how application providers can provide opportunities from real-life. It will be of interest to businesses to explore the risks and discover the opportunities for the future...
Panellists and speakers at the 'Internet of Things Europe 2010' conference will share their insights into this developing phenomenon and will address the following issues:

-    How will IOT empower citizens' experience and individual’s capabilities?
-    What innovation and development is already underway?
-    What security challenges, particularly surrounding unauthorised access to and unintended disclosure of data may be presented by the Internet of Things?
-    How can we encourage effective competition in the Internet of Things?
-    How can policymakers create a climate to encourage investment from business?
-    How can we encourage and exchange best practice with lessons from outside Europe?

The second edition of the High Level event on ICT for Energy Efficiency is organised by the European Commission's Information Society and Media Directorate-General, in cooperation with the Spanish Presidency of the European Union. This event will take place on February 23rd and 24th 2010 in Brussels gathering policy makers and experts on the ICT for Energy Efficiency field through conferences, projects’ exhibition and the Best ICT4EE Project Award Ceremony.

After the ICT4EE 2009 High Level Event which aimed to accord visibility to the potential of ICTs in enabling energy efficiency, this 2010 event aims to become a vehicle to drive progress in the transition to an energy-efficient and low-carbon economy following the terms of the "Recommendation C(2009) 7604" adopted by the European Commission on October 9th 2009. Through the Recommendation, the Commission calls on the ICT sector to agree on common methodologies for measuring energy consumption and carbon emissions by 2010. Furthermore, addressing EU Member States and the ICT sector, it aims to unlock energy efficiency potential through more public-private partnership initiatives and also through partnerships between the ICT industry and defined strategic sectors.
