The outbreak of the war in Ukraine has made a rethinking of energy policy in the European Union much more necessary, given the vulnerability it presents due to its dependence on foreign energy, especially Russian gas and oil. This situation forces us to bet even more on renewable energy sources, which are not only an effective tool in the fight against climate change but also a powerful formula for the European Union to achieve energy autonomy.

What does it mean to start an entrepreneurial activity? How to combine it with research? Join this interactive webinar to know more about entrepreneurship and get started with you entrepreneurial activity. This webinar is hosted by Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciencies based in Helsinki (Finland).

At this webinar participants will learn the latest on the wide range of use of robots and humanoids in industry and other areas such as healthcare, well-being, transport and the like, with an underlining of possible scenarios in which the field of robotics is developing in the near future.

What are the main educational gaps in interdisciplinary instruction? And which supports would be favourable at national and/or international level? Through some good practices and hands-on experiences, the interdisciplinary approach will be analysed and promoted widely.

The webinar will cover the ethical and social implications of AI in education, including issues related to data privacy, bias, and algorithmic accountability. It will also explore the challenges of integrating AI into existing educational systems and the need for continued research and development in this area.

This seminar highlights existing actions in the alliance towards the goal of achieving smart and climate-neutral cities amongst our regions and will inspire innovative actions to take place within our community, including citizens, academia, and businesses and implement transformative processes.

This webinar focuses on the interaction of users and artificial intelligence (AI). Human-Centric AI emphases cognitive, emotional and social aspects of human interaction when using AI applications. Existing AI applications are able to detect human emotions derived from images or videos. Although machines, such as AI applications are often considered as unsocial devices, they are, however, able to provide increased social signals and socially oriented behaviour.

Although several ageing biological hallmarks have been identified, very little is known about the time-dependent mechanisms that orchestrate their appearance, intensity, organ-specificity, and consequences. How do they start? How do they progress? What is their frequency across populations and population groups? Do programmed ageing clocks exist to orchestrate their temporal appearance? Can we reverse them ? These questions will be addressed-through the recent advances of IRCAN teams of the University Côte d’Azur.

The boost of digitalisation and technological solutions are the ultimate responses to an increasing demand for both audience development and activities of monitoring. Then, what are the more feasible options, and which are the side effects of this development? The webinar will address these topics reflecting on the different meanings of ‘accessibility’ and ‘inclusiveness’ in different contexts, opening a dialogue on their challenges and opportunities.

However, what does the Green Deal effect the legal situation in EU countries? What impact will circular economy have to tackle these challenges? Where can companies and universities set actions, and how can we all contribute?

“Female scientists breaking barriers in research” consists of seven interviews to Ulysseus female researchers that offer the opportunity to the general public to learn about existing challenges in society that have motivated these researchers to do research in gender studies.

The Researchers’ Agenda within the Ulysseus Summit in Košice took place from 27-29 April 2022. This event gathered nearly a hundred members of the Ulysseus community at the Technical University of Košice. At this occasion, researchers had workshops on robotics, data and artificial intelligence, brainstorming sessions on upcoming ideas for Horizon Europe calls for proposals and visits to key research centres within the Technical University of Košice.

About this event

On 29 September 2023  Ulysseus joined the European Researchers’ Night, a Europe-wide public event which aims at bringing science closer to the public in a engaging way. For this occasion, four Ulysseus experts explained to us in a series of mini interviews how Artificial Intelligence is bringing benefits to citizens in different ways.
