ZEROPOWER Workshop will be held in Cork, Oct 26-27 2011.

ZEROPOWER is a Coordination and support action funded by European Union, with the aim to create a coordination activity among consortia involved in “Toward Zero-Power ICT” research projects (FET proactive call FP7-ICT-2009-5, Objective 8.6) and communities of scientists interested in energy harvesting and low power, energy efficient ICT.

Next ZEROPOWER Workshop is finalized to build the emerging ICT-Energy related community, at networking existing “energy efficiency” national, regional or international activities/programmes in view of exploiting synergies, maximizing impact and contributing to the definition of international cooperation strategies and/or the development of research collaborations.

The Workshop will start on Oct 26 morning and foresees 6 overview talks, several focused talks and a PhD session.

An intervention from a representative of European Commission is foreseen on the 26th, together with an overview on the research projects involved in ZEROPOWER Consortium (NANOPOWER, Green Si and SiNAPS).
