Online Workshop: Sensei Project – March 10th, 2025

SENSEI – Smart European Networks for Sensing the Environment and Internet quality, is a projet funded by the European Union and aimed to develop devices and technologies to turn the global telecommunication fibre network into a pervasive distributed sensor and make the network more resilient and efficient.

On March 10th,  SENSEI will be presented to colleagues, stakeholders and potential collaborators in a 2.5 hour-long online workshop. The workshop will start with technical talks from Consortium members, focusing on earlier research achievements feeding into SENSEI, and will then focus on the project overview, followed by an open discussion.

Participation is free upon registration

AG FIRST-TF 2024

The FIRST-TF research federation (Laboratory of Escellence) and the REFIMEVE French Research Infrastucure, are joining together this year for organizing 3 events important for the french Time and Frequency community: their respective General Assemblies, and a workshop on precision synchronization and networks.

These events will be the opportunity for a vast community to network, have scientific exchanges and get the latest informations about FIRST-TF and REFIMEVE.

All the events will take place at Institut Galilée, on the Université Sorbone Paris Nord campus in Villetaneuse.

The dates are the following:

  • September 30, 2024, afternoon: lab visits at the Laboratoire de Physique des Lasers,
  • October 1, 2024: General Assembly of FIRST-TF
  • October 2,  2024: Workshop on “Precision Synchronization and networks”
  • 0ctobre 3, 2024: General Assembly of REFIMEVE

Lunches for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd of October are included in the organization. Dinners for the 1st and 2nd of October evening will be organized as joint social events.

Registration is free, but mandatory, for members of structures affiliated to FIRST-TF, REFIMEVE, as well as for invited guests, on this link: https://firsttfrefimeve.sciencesconf.org/

Workshop on Standardization of Galileo Timing Receivers (Prague, February 2, 2024, 10:00-13:00 CET)

The primary objective of the workshop is to present the ongoing standardisation activities for timing receivers.

The availability of accurate and secure timing information is crucial for a range of strategic sectors. This is especially the case for critical infrastructures, like telecommunication networks, energy distribution grids, financial markets. All of these will benefit from the future Galileo Timing Service.

In a joint effort, EUSPA and the European Commission will host  a workshop dedicated present the ongoing standardisation activities for timing receivers, aimed at the publication of the first ever Standard in 2024, a key component of the upcoming Galileo Timing Service. The workshop will provide a great opportunity for discussing with Stakeholders on the benefits for Timing and Synchronisation (T&S) applications, and on the user needs of the Timing community.

The workshop will be hybrid, taking place online and at EUSPA HQ.

EFTF 2024 (Neuchâtel, June 25-27, 2024)

The European Frequency and Time Forum (EFTF) is the Europe’s leading technical conference for time and frequency products and related technologies. The congress brings together researchers and technologists from manufacturers, service providers, operators, application developers, National Metrology laboratories, defense timing, and standards bodies to share the latest information and promote the development of precise time and frequency systems and components.

The conference will comprise invited plenary presentations as well as parallel oral and poster presentations. Last held in Neuchâtel in 2014, the 2024 edition of the conference will once again be held at the University of Neuchâtel, in the beautiful lakeside city of Neuchâtel, Switzerland. The main conference venue is the Aula de Jeunes Rives. This will mark the 37th edition of EFTF.
