About The Event
We are delighted to welcome you to the 2021 edition of Connected Everything (CE) II Summer School. Our core theme this year is "Industrial Internet-of-Things (IIoT) for Connected Factories". The school is hosted by the School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering at Leeds University, UK in collaboration with the School of Computing and Engineering at the University of Huddersfield, UK.
The summer school aims to provide a platform for interdisciplinary discussions around recent advancements in IIoT. This year we have very exciting programme which involves a mix of industrial and academic talks around the thematic area. The program also includes hands-on sessions and a Hackathon for participants.
Where
Due to the uncertainity around the pandemic, this year School will be fully virtual (online).
When
Monday to Wednesday
12-14 July
About the Network+:
ConnectedEverything II Network+ is an EPSRC-funded research network for the Digital Manufacturing community which is addressing the question ‘how do we support the future of manufacturing in the UK?‘ As digital technology advances, the manufacturing sector must adapt and respond to a great number of drivers and barriers.
