Smart Communities symposium UPC-KEIO. Towards the Next stage of Collaboration.

The First Smart Communities symposium aims to act as a bridge towards the next stage of collaboration between UPC Barcelona and Keio University. In March 2016, the international workshop Fabrics brought both universities together for the first time through the collaboration of their students on a common challenge: designing a shade.

One year later, Keio and UPC met again to strengthen their ties through this Smart Communities Symposium. Its main goal was to share and debate different research interests to build a common path for future collaboration.

This meeting included brief presentations explaining the state of the art in research at Keio University and UPC, along with panel discussions on disciplinary overlaps and potential future prospects.

Participants: Helena Coch, Estanislao Roca, Carles Crosas, Darko Radovic, Akira Mita, Toshiharu Ikaga, Hiroto Kobayashi, Júdit Lopez, Miquel Martí, Mar Santamaria, Isabel Crespo, Jefferson Torres, Bruno Santana, Glòria Serra.
