Last Friday night in September is dedicated again to curiosity for the sciences: Researchers’ Night – supported by the EU – is a popular pan-European event giving the opportunity to meet science and have a glimpse behind the scenes through “fun” activities. It also aims at showing the public, and mainly young people the advantages of pursuing a research career. As more and more organizations have joined this event since it started in 2005, this September nearly sixty institutes, laboratories and museums welcome visitors in Hungary.

Prof. József Bokor, Director in Science of the Computer and Automation Research Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (MTA SZTAKI) visited the headquarters of one of the most prestigious research institutes of Japan, the National Institute of Information and Communication Technology (NICT) where he was warmly welcomed by Dr. Hiroshi Kumagai (Vice President), Dr. Yasuhiro Koyama (Director) and Mr. Masahiko Fujimoto (Executive Director).

We are happy to announce that Laboratory of Parallel and Distributed Systems will host a joint summer school between 2nd - 6th July, held in Budapest, Hungary. Three current FP7 projects - SCI-BUS, SHIWA and EDGI - will organise this workshop on workflows and gateways for grids and clouds. The goal of the school is to show various aspects of user support for the European grid and cloud infrastructures.

For many years, MITIP conferences have proven to be an important forum for the exchange of ideas, knowledge and experience about ICT-driven innovation in industrial products, processes and services.
