Open House program
Note: This event is free and open to the public. It requires registration.
THIS IS HOW WE DO IT
In a fun and interactive way, this event offers attendees the opportunity to gain hand on experience in research by participating in games that will showcase the importance of pushing the limits of state-of-the-art technology, by posing questions and testing the possible outcomes given through choices. It will show participants how fresh and inspirational scientific research in networks can be, by proving how everyday actions such as making a call from a mobile phone and obtaining an answer involve a great deal of thinking and decision making by communication networks specialists. And still the unexpected may happen…
There will be prizes awarded to winners of the experiments conducted, which will all require some measure of audience participation.
THIS IS WHAT WE DO
A key element of this event program is to give attendees an up-to-date ‘insider’s’ view of what is happening in the science of networks today from Institute IMDEA Networks’ perspective. It will also afford the opportunity to inform them about interesting opportunities for a professional career in network research.
THIS IS WHO WE ARE
Some of our researchers, from those at the start of their career to those well experienced, will explain what the Institute is and aims to be, that is, its reason to be and its objectives. We shall welcome your questions and feedback.
