• a cutting edge data processing system Sharemind developed in cooperation with Cybernetica AS, University of Tartu, the Software Technology and Applications Competence Center and The Estonian Education and Research Network EEnet.
In addition, two researchers from the Tallinn Univeristy of Technology were speakers at the ESOF’s science programme. Namely prof. Maarja Kruusmaa (“Robotics for next – generation ocean science” on June 23) and prof. Robert Krimmer (“Democracy in the digital age: computational aspects of voting systems“ on June 23).
It was a great opportunity for us to engage with science journalists, researchers and government officials from all over Europe. We thank everybody who stopped at our booth! Until next ESOF in Manchester!
