    <title>Aug 30, 2008: Swiss Highland Games at St. Ursen</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Men in skirts? People throwing telephone poles about? Meat dishes cooked in the stomach lining of sheep? Who could resist joining Jo and me for a day of Scottish culture and cuisine at the Swiss Highland Games on 30th August, which are held in St. Ursen, FR. We&#39;d love it if you could join us and we&#39;ll post exact meeting plans (probably at the main station in Fribourg) once the programme for the day is online.<br /><br />

    <title>Jul  9, 2008: CBD/TRIPS: A 360 Review of Access and Benefit Sharing; Multilateral Developments and National Initiatives at InterContinental Hotel</title>
    <description><![CDATA[<b>Host: Institute for Policy Innovation.</b> The relationship between the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and Geneva-based organizations like the World Trade Organization and the World Intellectual Property Organization has garnered increasing scrutiny in recent years, particularly in the area of Access and Benefit Sharing. At the same time, little attention has been paid to the CBD’s substantial progress towards negotiation of a comprehensive International Regime to regulate sustainable use of genetic resources, traditional knowledge and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits from their commercialization. Join the Institute for Policy Innovation for a policy briefing in Geneva that will provide new perspectives on the ongoing CBD negotiations that recently reached consensus on a road-map to a comprehensive International Regime by 2010 and how Geneva-based organizations and national governments can best support the CBD in its comprehensive ABS mandate.<br />

    <title>Jul 30, 2008: Berner Mittelalter-Spektakel at Historisches Museum Bern</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Ritterturnier auf dem Helvetiaplatz<br /><br />
Vom 30. Juli bis 10. August verwandelt sich der Platz vor dem Historischen Museum Bern in einen farbenprächtigen Turnierplatz mit einer Tribüne für 1200 Zuschauer. Hier findet zweimal täglich (14.30 Uhr und 19 Uhr) kein gewöhnliches Ritterturnier statt, sondern ein wahrhafter «Pas d’armes» – so wie er zur Hochzeit Karls des Kühnen von Burgund mit Margarete von York 1468 in Brügge veranstaltet wurde. Bei einem Pas d’armes messen sich edle Ritter über mehrere Tage in Kämpfen zu Fuss und zu Pferd.<br /><br />
Nun werden die besten Turnierreiter Englands während 10 Tagen auf dem Berner Helvetiaplatz wieder ein «Pas d’armes» austragen. Bereits vor dem eigentlichen Turnier in der Arena auf dem Helvetiaplatz können die Besucherinnen und Besucher im Museumspark die Turniervorbereitungen mitverfolgen (ca. 1 Std. vor Turnierbeginn).<br />
Burgundisches Heerlager im Schlosspark<br /><br />
Umrahmt werden die Turnierspiele zudem von der Company of Saynt George, einer Re-enactment-Gruppe, welche den ganzen Tag über im Museumspark das Lagerleben im Gefolge Karls des Kühnen auf lebendige Weise und historisch korrekt nachgestaltet.<br /><br />
Selbstverständlich werden beim Spektakel auch Musik, altes Handwerk, Kinderattraktionen sowie Speis und Trank nicht fehlen. Und im Spektakel-Kombiticket eingeschlossen ist auch der Besuch des Museums mit der Sonderausstellung «Karl der Kühne».<br /><br />
Spieldaten<br /><br />
    * 30. Juli bis 10. August 2008 täglich (ausser Mo)<br />
    * Openair-Aufführungen um 14.30 Uhr und 19 Uhr auf dem Turnierplatz vor dem Museum<br />
    * Dauer ca. 45 Min. Turniervorbereitungen im Park ca. 1 Std. vor Vorstellungsbeginn.<br />
    * Die Aufführungen finden bei jeder Witterung statt.<br />

    <title>Oct 29, 2008: EuroSSC 2008: 3rd European Conference on Smart Sensing and Context at ETH Hauptgebäude</title>
    <description><![CDATA[The 3rd European Conference on Smart Sensing and Context (EuroSSC) will be held on October 29-31, 2008 in Zurich, Switzerland.<br /><br />
EuroSSC was held before in Enschede (NL) and Kendal (UK). Building on the success of the last years, EuroSSC 2008 will include<br />
a highly selective single-track program for technical papers, accompanied by posters, demonstrations, invited speakers, and an<br />
industrial panel.<br /><br />
The vision of ubiquitous computing is that of pervasive but transparent<br />
technology. Smart, **context-aware (wireless) sensor and actuator networks (WS&amp;AN)** bring the vision of ubiquitous computing closer to reality. Emerging smart surroundings, objects and clothing contain networked sensing and feedback elements to infer user&#39;s needs and provide targeted context aware assistance. Networked smart sensors recognize context from raw data and/or capitalize on context to optimize sensing. Higher-level context is inferred online or within the network, by combining and abstracting information from smart sensors. Together with networked actuators, context-aware sensing and feedback becomes possible.<br /><br />
This annual conference explores techniques, algorithms, architectures, protocols, and user aspects underlying context-aware smart surroundings, and cooperating intelligent objects, and their applications. Topics discussed include smart sensing, context recognition, and context processing. Of growing interest are methods and principles for context abstraction and processing given a Quality of Context that reflects context uncertainty and accuracy of smart sensors. Principles and methods for context-aware feedback through actuator networks and their applications are discussed.<br /><br />
EuroSSC 2008 aims to bring together academic researchers and industry experts with a variety of backgrounds to explore technology, human, and user aspects:<br /><br />
    * Technology and system aspects: concerning intelligent sensors,<br />
      sensor and actuator networks and information processing for a new<br />
      generation of networked devices and intelligent environments.<br />
    * Human and user aspects: exploring scenarios, applications and<br />
      interaction methods for context-aware and pro-active applications<br />
      made possible by the diffusion of ambient communication, cooperating objects, and interaction technologies.<br /><br />
We welcome submission of original and unpublished technical papers, posters, and demonstration papers covering all areas related to smart surroundings, context-awareness and networked embedded sensor and actuator systems. <br /><br />
The topics of interest include (but are not limited to):<br /><br />
    * Distributed smart sensing and context recognition<br />
      o Smart sensing: sensors inferring context and context-aware sensing<br />
      o Context-aware surroundings and infrastructures<br />
      o Distributed objects and wearables inferring context<br />
      o Algorithms and architectures for scalable context recognition<br />
      o Quality of Context (context uncertainty, unreliable sensing)<br />
    * Context processing<br />
      o Context reasoning, fusion, transformation, inference<br />
      o Context processing given Quality of Context<br />
      o Scalable context management and processing architectures<br />
      o Information aspects of context-aware sensor&amp;actuator systems<br />
    * Context-aware actuators, interaction methods, and human aspects<br />
      o Principles and methods for context-aware actuation and feedback<br />
      o Distributed context-aware actuators<br />
      o Interaction with context-aware objects, wearables and proactive interfaces<br />
      o Quality of Actuation<br />
      o Symbiosis between autonomic context-aware sensor&amp;actuator systems and users<br />
      o Social implications, user-controlled privacy, securing context<br />
    * Applications, deployment, test beds and case studies<br />
      o Wearable computing and pervasive computing applications<br />
      o Real-world experiences with deployed systems<br />
      o Applications and case studies related to smart surroundings &amp; intelligent objects<br />
      o Integration with the Internet of the Future<br />
      o Development tools, deployment principles, and life-cycle support<br /><br />

    <title>Feb 25, 2009: LIFT-09 at CICG - International Conference Centre Geneva</title>
    <description><![CDATA[LIFT is different from the other lifestyle conferences I have attended. It is fresh, takes risks - but at the same time the organisers have weeded out the rubbish to make this three days of inspiration. I think it is better than TED because you get access to fascinating people who stay around for the rest of the event. Mark this date down now...it is later than in 2007 to avoid clashing with TED in the USA and being too close to DLD-09<br />

    <title>Feb 25, 2009: LIFT-09 at CICG - International Conference Centre Geneva</title>
    <description><![CDATA[LIFT is one of the best conferences in Europe for those looking for inspiring speakers at a world-class level. Great thing about LIFT is the fact that these guys take risks - you find people appearing at LIFT long before they turn up at invitation only events like TED.com To avoid a clash, the organisers of LIFT have moved their event slightly later into February than this year. Highly recommended!<br />

    <title>Feb 25, 2009: LIFT09 at International Conference Center (CICG)</title>
    <description><![CDATA[LIFT is a yearly gathering of talented observers, explorers, and builders who discuss the current challenges and creative solutions presented by emerging technologies. LIFT is three days to face cutting edge business models, bold predictions, radical thinking, and get new ideas to inject into your own part of the planet.<br /><br />
LIFT is more than a conference! Beyond the opportunity to listen to some of today’s most influential minds, you can also talk during the open stage sessions or share and learn with others during a pre-conference workshop. And for the first time in 2007, LIFT+ was added to the concept. It is a living and creative platform intended to develop new ideas through active interaction between the participants.<br /><br />
LIFT has a simple goal: connect people who are passionate about new applications of technology and propel their conversations into the broader world to improve life and work.<br />

    <title>Jul 11, 2008: World Blog Forum 2008 at Kursaal</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Das erste World Blog Forum findet vom 11. bis 13. Juli 2008 im Kursaal zu Bern statt. Das Forum versteht sich als globale Plattform für Blogger und den “artverwandten Publizisten”, aber auch für Partner, Sponsoren, Vermarkter, Journalisten und weitere Zubringer und Dienstleister rund um die Welt der Blogger.<br /><br />
Am ersten Forum zu Bern sehen wir zunächst eine Austausch- und Diskussionsrunde mit professioneller Unterstützung aus den Medien und der Vermarktung. Das Forum selbt wird wohl ein geschlossener Event sein. Weiter wäre am Sonntag eine offene Ausstellung der Sponsoren denkbar, die sich hauptsächlich auf die breite Bloggerschaft ausrichten soll. Dies sind im Moment die Ideen, welche sich aber noch fliessend verändern können.<br />

    <title>Sep  8, 2008: MAS FHNW in Electronic Government at Hochschule für Wirtschaft FHNW</title>
    <description><![CDATA[E-Business plus Amtsstaub ist nicht gleich E-Government! Auch in den Verwaltungen sind ‚Kundenbegriff’ und moderne Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologie nicht mehr wegzudenken. Aber öffentliche Leistungen und deren Erbringung unterscheiden sich dennoch stark von Privatwirtschaft und Industrie.<br /><br />
Wo liegen die Unterschiede, was sind die Gemeinsamkeiten? Der MAS E-Government beantwortet diese Fragen und zeigt die Chancen und Risiken von E-Government auf. Teilnehmende erhalten die Kompetenz, IKT bedürfnisgerecht zu planen und einzuführen.<br /><br />
Um E-Government umzusetzen, braucht es Generalisten, die die Herausforderungen kennen - und die Methoden, sie zu meistern!<br /><br />
Die umfassende Ausbildung der FHNW ergänzt die Kernthemen des E-Governement mit Fragestellungen des Public Managements.<br /><br />
Absolventinnen und Absolventen sind in der Lage,<br /><br />
* Verwaltungen oder Verwaltungseinheiten hinsichtlich ihrer ‚E-Government-Fähigkeit’ zu analysieren, Schwachstellen und Möglichkeiten zu erkennen und Umsetzungspotential aufzuzeigen<br />
* strategische Erfolgspotentiale der sich wandelnden Erbringung von Verwaltungsdienstleistungen zu erkennen und in geeignete Projekte zu überführen<br />
* Stakeholder für die Bedeutung und den Nutzen von E-Government zu sensibilisieren und in Bezug auf mögliche Projekte zu beraten<br />
* Denkprozesse anzustossen, die in Verwaltungen zu einem Umdenken hin zu einer transparenten und glaubwürdigen E-Government-Strategie führen können<br />
* Strategien zu entwickeln für die erfolgreiche Einführung neuer (E-Government-)Dienstleistungen und die damit verbundene Durchführung von Projekten<br />
* die Zusammenarbeit der für die Entwicklung von (E-Government-)Dienstleistungen verantwortlichen Fachleute aus Fachabteilungen, Informatik, Recht- und Sicherheit und des Marketing innerhalb der eigenen Verwaltung zu koordinieren und zu leiten<br />
* verwaltungsübergreifende Kooperationen zu initialisieren und durchzuführen<br />
* Beziehungen zu Anspruchsgruppen – vor allem auch zu Vertretern der verschiedenen politischen Organe -  aufzubauen, systematisch zu pflegen und aufkommende Differenzen im Sinne eines systematischen Vermittlungsverfahrens (Mediation) zu bewältigen<br />
* die politische Steuerung über die Medien Recht, Finanzen und Information zu erfassen<br />
* die politische Planung über Legislaturschwerpunkt und integriertem Aufgaben- und Finanzplan zu verstehen<br />
* im Bereich der betrieblichen Steuerung, Instrumente des strategischen und operativen Managements anzuwenden.<br /><br />
Der Erwerb des «Master of Advanced Studies in E-Government» ist innerhalb von zwei Jahren möglich. Das Studium umfasst vier Komponenten. In den ersten beiden Semestern E-Government Basis- und Expertenwissen vermittelt, das dritte Semester ist dem Thema Public Management gewidmet. Das Studium wird abgeschlossen mit einer Masterarbeit im vierten Semester.<br /><br />
Das Studium umfasst insgesamt 60 ECTS Credits mit total 72 Kontakttagen. Jedes Modul wird mit einem Leistungsnachweis abgeschlossen, die Abschlussarbeit (Masterthesis) ist mit 15 Kreditpunkten veranschlagt.<br /><br />
Nächster Kursbeginn ist Montag, der 8. September 2008. Unterrichtstage sind jeweils Montag und Dienstag im 14-tägigen Rhythmus.<br /><br />
Das Studium «Electronic Government» (E-Gov) richtet sich an Kaderleute der öffentlichen Hand, die ihr verwaltungsspezifisches Know-How erweitern und sich profundes Wissen über E‑Government aneignen wollen.<br /><br />
Angesprochen sind vor allem:<br /><br />
* Interne und externe Beraterinnen und Berater von Öffentlichen Verwaltungen<br />
* Führungskräfte, mittleres Kader aus Gemeinde-, Kantons- und Bundesverwaltung<br />
* Fachleute aus den Bereichen Informatik und Organisation<br /><br />
Da wir um die zunehmende Schwierigkeit einer umfangreichen Ausbildungsplanung wissen, ist das Studium modular aufgebaut: Nach ersten beiden Semestern kann mit einem DAS (Diploma of Advanced Studies) abgeschlossen werden. Ein Wiedereinstieg für den Erwerb des Master-Titels ist innerhalb fünf Jahren möglich.<br />
