EaPEC 2018

Lightning talks and posters are great ways for EaPEC participants to share early results, get feedback on shared ideas, find new collaborators from other institutions, and spark conference discussion.

Why NRENs matter

This lightning talk will show the role NRENs play around the world and why their existence in the country should be important to any national government willing to be part of today’s digital economies.

Open Source Geospatial (OSGeo) foundation

This talk will introduce the Open Source Geospatial (OSGeo) foundation, providing a state-of-the-art overview about current developments, challenges and opportunities for collaboration in research, industry and education in Moldova, Europe and beyond.

Benefits of the GÉANT Cloud Framework

This talk shows the benefits of the GÉANT cloud collaboration and the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Framework, describes the available online services and introduces some examples of the use cases.

The importance of music communities

This talk presents the experience acquired in the implementation of audiovisual communication technologies in national music academies of the EaP countries. The talk will underline the importance of Net-ART and the music communities in

creating long-term NREN sustainability, aiming towards regional development and European and international partnerships.

Funding opportunities and options for the establishment of an Academic CSIRT

In 2017 the Cyprus Research and Academic Network, succeeded in submitting a successful proposal through CEF (Connecting Europe Facility), which resulted in the granting of funds. CYNET has, thus, gained the necessary CEF knowhow and is competent in preparing joint proposals and setting up extended co-operations on Academic CSIRT matters. CYNET is open to collaborations, so as to further develop its expertise on cybersecurity, as well as discussing and discovering funding procedures and resources.

Blockchain a turnkey for fraud proof video

The image or video was a solid proof of truth at court, but since video-editing tools have become more and more perfect the digital image lost its power as validation in court.

Now, with the deep fake video techniques even human faces can be swapped in detail view. In order to still have a proof out of surveillance systems, blockchain could be a powerful tool. On the camera there is a hardware rom with a private key, containing camera name, owner and encrypted key. This Key is used for calculating together with a public key, stored in the blockchain a pattern of slightly pitched pixels into the video image, so that it is easy to check if is original video or a modified one. The applications for such a development are endless, from security to surveillance to monitoring of cornfields.

The role of institutions in open data adoption: evidence from transition countries

Over the past 10 years, we have observed significant growth in open data adoption, open data research and higher expectations from open data. However, the little of open data ambitions have been realised particularly in the transition/developing countries. This talk will present the role of institutions in open data adoption to provide more functional open data ecosystem for higher level government data use and reuse.

DICOM Network

“DICOM Network” is an informational system for Medical and Diagnostically institutions for collections, processing and visualization of medical images.

The system includes DICOM Server, DICOM Portal, DICOM Storage, DICOM Desktop viewer, DICOM Web viewer, and DICOM API, those allow covering all the workflow for processing and documentation of medical investigations from collecting investigations from medical equipment to archiving them in the patient medical record.

This panel discussion will profile some successful women in the IT  Industry who are making their mark on their local tech communities. Key questions will include:

• What are the current barriers facing women in the IT sector?

• Is diversity important in this innovative and fast-moving sector – why?

• Why are role-models important to inspire more girls to enter the world of technology?

• Can mothers be great hires? Why should you hire them?

To help further promote the benefits of international-scale networking to researchers, EaPConnect collaborates with leading partners to create an exciting opportunity for EaP research communities.

The EYR@EaP organising committee consists of a number of partners from the European NREN community.

This brand new edition of the Enlighten Your Research (EYR) programme invites researchers and their collaborators to submit proposals that highlight how access to advanced networks, technologies and compute would significantly improve their research and discovery process.

In the EYR Award Ceremony, the grants of this year’s  EYR@EaP programme will be awarded to their beneficiaries. Afterwards, the beneficiaries will share their proposals in 5-minute presentations to the audience.

Cybersecurity

This workshop is an opportunity for an open discussion about different areas of cybersecurity, like access control, mobile security, infrastructure security and intrusion detection, depending on the needs of the participants. The workshop will be interesting for anyone who wants to improve cybersecurity and gain information and best practices from other participants.

Clouds and IaaS

This workshop will introduce cloud technology in general, the GÉANT Framework on Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), roles of National Research and Educations Networks (NRENS), cloud architects and users. The workshop will be interesting for anybody who would like to improve their knowledge about cloud technology. The format of the workshop is a mixture of presentations and discussion.

NREN Services (GTS and more)

Video 2

This workshop is about the experience of developing and implementing NREN services such as eduGAIN, eduroam, GTS, Cloud, LoLa , DICOM network. The workshop will be interesting for researchers, official governmental representatives, students, administrators of institutes, stakeholders, scientists, medical organisation representatives, public institution representatives and resource providers. The format is a mixture of  presentations, demonstrations and questions.
