Mediterranean Regional STEAM Astronomy Summer School

The most vibrant campus, to give you the most.

This Summer School is organized in the framework of the I-OAE Office activities for the Mediterranean countries. It will mainly involve members of NAEC teams in the Mediterranean area but other interested teams/educators are also welcome to participate.

  • The school will focus on the following topics:
  • The use of specific astronomy instruments and data in the classroom
  • Innovative techniques for teaching astronomy with data
  • Strategies for incorporating real astronomical data into curriculum
  • Techniques for adapting data to different levels of education
  • Assessment and evaluation of data-driven instruction

The school will be arranged in two parts:

Part I: Sharing best practices in astronomy education where participants will be sharing their astronomy educational resources and/or hands on activities.

Part II: STEAM-MED Co-design Workshop where participants will be involved in co-design activities, to test and to tailor new STEAM Astronomy educational resources.

The 5th IEEE Conference on Smart Cities and Innovative Systems will be held at the IEEE CiSt'23 Congress, the week of December 16th – 22nd 2023, in Agadir - Essaouira, Morocco.

The main objective of this conference is to bring together academic scientists, research scholars, and industrials to share and exchange their latest developments and advances on specific aspects related to smart city technological development. Indeed, developing Smart Cities by acquiring cutting-edge technological platforms and systems is an ongoing global effort where integration and convergence of Electrical/Electronic, hardware, software, and wireless communication systems in intelligible platforms is a need for ensuring sophisticated and standardized city-scale infrastructure deployments. Yet, despite these possibilities, researchers and practitioners are still facing a broad range of conceptual and technical challenges when targeting the city as an application scenario.

Therefore, this conference is an opportunity for participants to exchange ideas on solutions and to present their latest research results, fostering the discussion on what should be the future technological trend in areas like Wireless Connectivity, Electrical/Electronic devices, Embedded Technologies, and Network architectures for building efficient and innovative solutions for smart cities.

Topics

We solicit submissions of original ideas and papers describing results and developments from both researchers and practitioners in fields addressing directions in the following interdisciplinary topics:

  • Intelligent Transportation Systems and Smart Mobility
  • Territorial Intelligence
  • Smart Services, Urban Logistics Innovations, and Smart Manufacturing
  • Smart Building and Domotic Automation
  • Smart Grids
  • Smart Electrical / Electronic devices, Microelectronic design
  • Integrated circuits and Embedded Technologies
  • Internet of Things networking and communication
  • Vehicular ad-hoc networks and wireless connectivity
  • Sensing and Smart Products for Energy, Irrigation, and Agriculture
  • Cyber Security for Smart Cities

Chair

Pr. Yassine Salih Alj, School of Science & Engineering, Al Akhawayn University, Morocco
