TEIN Youth E-Culture Exchange (Youth ECX) Workshop will open from 19 to 21 November 2016 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Our cultural heritage is in dire need to be preserved as a ‘living heritage’ for our future generation. We need recorders and archivers who are vibrant, creative and passionate to preserve their living heritage. Baby boomers may lead the way up to a point but the baton has to be passed on to the Generations X,Y and now Z. It is a known fact that these generations are fond of capturing moments on digital media of their events, environments and communities.. Hence, this workshop is aimed to harness this very interest of youths towards digitizing cultural heritage and popular culture from their own perspectives. Moreover, the workshop contents aims to hone the skills of participating youths to produce quality user generated content (UGCs) (photos, videos and writings) by using simple digital tools such as smartphones and Windows Moviemaker and to publish them in popular social media platforms. The specific objectives are:- To produce e- cultural heritage materials - To create e-culture profiles of participating countries - To empower participants with simple yet life-long digital technology know-how - To train participants as trainers of e-culture workshops for their respective countries This project has received funding from the European Union under grant contract no 2011/281-226(TEIN-4 project). 

TEIN NOC Annual Workshop 2016 The TEIN NOC workshop is aimed at bringing TEIN4 network engineers to the level qualified for the operation and management of network for their NRENs and therefore promote international collaborations and TEIN4 applications. As results of the workshop, we expect NREN participants to be trained in network engineering and NOC overall operations in terms of design, monitoring and managing the NREN network; to understand best practices and methodology to monitor and manage the network for improved performance and security; to have an avenue to strengthen human network of the research and education community and to learn from each other's National Research and Education Network.

Bangladesh Campus Network Design and Operation WorkshopAmong 34 public universities in Bangladesh, 15 universities have already commenced their campus networks. Design and implementation of the campus network in the rest 19 public universities is going on under the guidance of BdREN. In this situation, this workshop aims to train university network engineering staffs on how to develop a strategic design plan for their campus network, provide implementation of best practice in campus network design, with particular emphasis on different network layers, and develop technical skills among the campus network engineers on different techniques of campus network operation, management and monitoring. This 5-day long training course will include major topics involving planning, designing, deploying and managing campus networks. The course is designed with the necessary theories, best practices and hands-on lab sessions in a multidimensional learning.This project has received funding from the European Union under grant contract no 2011/281-226(TEIN-4 project).?

On 9-10 September 2016, Two major organisations involved in this sector, Nepal Research and Education Network (NREN) and Telemedicine Society of Nepal (TMSoN) jointly organise this workshop: Telemedicine in Nepal - Sharing for Synergy   In a country like Nepal, where remoteness is not only in terms of distance but the lack of interconnecting roads or trails to be true, hard geographical terrain, difficult weather conditions make the nearest health posts inaccessible to the villagers.  In addition to these factors, natural disasters at times like landslides, floods and even earth quakes impose further difficulties in accessing the minimal available health care services usually situated may be hours or days walk from the villages. Telemedicine is the best way to provide health care services to people residing in such areas and to provide continuing medical education to the health care workers stationed in remote areas.    Therefore, a lot of institutions which provide telemedicine services understand the need of Information Communication Technology for Health (ICT4H), the key technology in Telemedicine. However, individual endeavors are not adequate to answer this major issue. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together all such individuals on a single platform where they can share their experiences and ideas for the future work.    This project has received funding from the European Union under grant contract no 2011/281-226(TEIN-4 project).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

eHealth Grand Rounds - A MAGIC-al EVENT Health practitioners and others with health-related interests from across the globe are invited to participate in a unique opportunity this September. They can join their colleagues in a series of eHealth webinars, entitled “Grand Rounds”, coordinated by a consortium of international research and education networks. The six eHealth Grand Rounds sessions fall under the broad headings of eHealth, Child and Adolescent Health and Cardiology, and are being coordinated by the MAGIC project, and the champion, Dr Luiz Messina from the Brazilian University Telemedicine Network project (RUTE). The MAGIC project (Middleware for collaborative Applications and Global vIrtual Communities), aims to significantly improve the ability of researchers and academicians around the world to collaborate, and promotes and supports four very specific virtual communities of a global nature (e-Health, Biodiversity, Environment and Remote Instrumentation), each moderated by a champion who is an expert in the field. The Grand Rounds series will be held each Tuesday, from September 6 to October 11, 2016. Participants can participate from anywhere in the world, interacting through the virtual platform called, Colaboratorio, designed specifically to enable communities to interact, but also affords a secure, virtual space for continued collaboration.The eHealth sessions will be held from 1300-1500 GMT:           • September 6, 2016 - eHealth I           • September 13, 2016 - Cardiology I           • September 20, 2016 - eHealth II           • September 27, 2016 - Child and Adolescent Health           • October 04, 2016 - eHealth III           • October 11, 2016 - Cardiology IIPresenters come from a variety of disciplines and countries, such as Mexico, India, Russia, Brazil and Tunisia. For details on the sessions, registration and more information please go to: http://eventos.redclara.net/e/eHealth_Grand_Rounds The development and fostering of Global Science Communities is the major activity of MAGIC as it works to create meaningful ways to engage communities from across the globe. * MAGIC comprises partners from Latin America, Europe, the Caribbean, West and Central Africa, Eastern and Southern Africa, North Africa and the Middle East, Central Asia and Asia-Pacific and is a Horizon 2020 project, supported by the European Commission.
