Session Topic: An Eternal Student's Reflections on the Innovation Cycle

Date/Time: Monday, 8 June 2020, 11:00-12:00, Dublin, Ireland Time Zone (GMT+1)

Speakers: Lajos Hanzo, University of Southampton

Description: Following a brief historical perspective we will speculate on the seven habits and traits of highly successful scientists, on how funding, patents and serendipity steers the main thrust of both applied and frontier research and all that…

Mark Twain’s highly-quoted statement “It is difficult to make predictions, particularly about the future....”is particularly fitting in the context of high-risk/high-gain research. But high-gain research has a long gestation period and it might even face opposition, unless you want to champion it all the way to its full fruition within your own spin-off company.  Naturally, this also involves trade-offs.  However, there is strong evidence that open-minded collaborators tend to grow into successful scientists.

Please join us for an open-minded discussion and for sharpening up our research skills by peering beyond the horizon of classical radio communications into the alluring new world of ’rebooting communications and launching Communications V 2.0 in the context of quantum communications’...

Session Topic: Preparing Grant Proposals

Date/Time: Wednesday, 10 June 2020, 12:00-13:00, Dublin, Ireland Time Zone (GMT+1)

Speakers: Emeritus Professor Lawrence Wong, National University of Singapore, Past IEEE Region 10 Director (2011-2012), Past Vice President, Member and Geographic Activities (2015-2016)

Description: In most cases, to carry out various research and education (R&E) related activities, it is necessary to prepare and submit grant proposals, either internally within the organization or to external grant agencies, in order to obtain the necessary resources to conduct such R&E work. The preparation of grant proposals can be an onerous task for those not familiar with such procedures. This talk will highlight and share some useful tips on how to go about preparing grant proposals, what to look out for and what to avoid. The sharing session is intended to be informal and should be beneficial to those who are new to preparing grant proposals.
