Dear YP,

this is a friendly reminder related to the forthcoming Young professionals (YP) event,
jointly organized by IEEE Italy section and University of
Bologna within the “2nd International Forum on Research and Technologies for Society
and Industry (RTSI 2016)“.
This is a forum which is running at University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy on 7-9 Sept
2016 (http://rtsi16.apice.unibo.it/xwiki/bin/view/RTSI2016/).

The YP event is a “Poster and Demo Session”
(http://rtsi16.apice.unibo.it/xwiki/bin/view/RTSI2016/YPEvent) that is focused
on YP and will be mainly devoted to  show innovative prototype implementations,
systems and technologies.
Demos can be considered as real, practical, and interactive proof of the
presenters’ research ideas and scientific or engineering contributions, with the
goal of offering YP the opportunity to discuss systems, applications,
prototypes, or proofs-of-concept with Senior researchers and people from
industry.

All demo submissions will be automatically subscribed to the “YP Demo
competition“. An evaluation committee will view and score posters/demos and
select:

• 1 for Best Demo Award. Demos will be primarily judged on originality,
  execution, and illustration of the core research ideas. The 500 € prize is
  sponsored by the IEEE Italy Section.
• 10 to receive 10 NUCLEO systems (provided by STmicroelectronics) containing the STM32F401 development board,
  ST Bluetooth Low Energy radio expansion board, ST MEMs Inertial and Environmental
  sensors board, and ST omnidirectional microphone board.
• 1 internship opportunity at STmicroelectronics’s site in Agrate, Italy,
  based on the Company’s assessment of the Young Professional’s talents and motivations to benefit from, and contribute to, the internship offering.

The deadline to submit proposals is May 15, 2016. If you are considering to
submit a contribution, send an email to [email protected]

Thank you
Best regards
Ferdinando

The submission is open until June 6, 2016. Please consider submitting your papers to DIPDMWC2016.
