Europe’s Opportunity
in Digital Agriculture
14 January 2016 – BRUSSELS
Waterford Institute of Technology’s Telecommunications, Software and Systems
Group (TSSG) with their SFI CONNECT partners are holding a workshop with
major leaders in policy, industry and academia to explore and discuss
“Europe’s Opportunity in Digital Agriculture”. Speaking on the day will
be EU Agricultural & Rural Development Commissioner Phil Hogan and
other leaders from the European Commission, WIT’s President Prof Willie
Donnelly and Prof Linda Doyle of Trinity College Dublin and CONNECT. Also
speaking will be John Power from Hale Consultants, Chicago presenting
the US experience of Digital Agriculture. The afternoon will be a platform
for networking and dissemination of H2020 successes and opportunities
from National Contact Points, Project Officers, industry and other interested
parties who want to get involved in EU research & innovation.
Horizon 2020’s multi-actor and innovation focus requires research institutions,
industry and society to come together in new ways. In supporting the drive
towards smart farming as an important contributor to feeding growing populations
and in line with the overall CAP objectives, “Europe’s Opportunity in
Digital Agriculture” specifically aligns with long-term strategic objectives
for EU rural development policy from 2014-2020 by:
(i) Fostering the competitiveness of agriculture and
(ii) Achieving a balanced territorial development of rural economies and
communities including the creation and maintenance of employment.
TSSG hopes by bringing
together people from both the Agricultural and ICT industries where common
opportunities can be identified and the potential captured as a national
strategy geared towards developing an export focused Digital Agriculture
industry. Having the opportunity to network with relevant industry players
academics, thought leaders and policy makers will make this a worthwhile
and participative workshop.
The complete programme schedule and speaker list will be published shortly.

And one more about
old people like me!
A little old man shuffled slowly into an ice cream parlor and pulled himself
slowly, painfully, up onto a stool…
After catching his breath, he ordered a banana split.
The waitress asked kindly, 'Crushed nuts?'
'No,' he replied, 'Arthritis.'
Now, before you 'forget', send it on to some other folks you know who
could use a good laugh.
