Past Events
What we want to provide here are short reports of only a few from around 50 successful EESTEC events held in the previous year. Reports are written either by the organizing LCs or their participants.
LC Niš: “biZbuZZ: Internet marketing”
The idea of “biZbuZZ: Internet marketing” event, organized by LC Nis in the October of 2007, was to gather businessmen, owners of the small enterprises in Serbia, programmers and students in the same place. EESTECers got the opportunity to attend lectures given by important IT people from Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Slovenia and Macedonia.
LC Novi Sad: "Play with Cell"
In October 2007, LC Novi Sad organized an event named "Play with Cell". It was about Cell Broadband Engine - or Cell as it is more commonly known - a microprocessor designed to bridge the gap between conventional desktop processors and other, dedicated, graphic-processors. Lectures were held at Novi Sad Institute for Information Technologies (MicronasNIT) by experienced professors and assistants, enrolled in many practical, commercial projects.
LC Budapest: Programming Contest
"At the opening ceremony of programming contest, held by LC Budapest in May 2007, Dr. Gábor Péceli, dean of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Informatics (VIK) and the chairman of the John von Neumann Computer Society opened the contest as its patron, and István Maradi, vice-chairman of the Scientific Association for Infocommunications Hungary, and László Csanádi, head organiser, greeted the contestants. The 30 competing teams represented 11 countries: Austria, Hungary, Latvia, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Spain, Sweden, Ukraine and the USA."
LC Skopje: "Feel the Energy"
Jacek Zanko from LC Krakow, participant of "Feel the Energy" event, held by LC Skopje in May 2007:
"Two times we have visited Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technologies in Skopje to attend the lectures. Lectures were very interesting and we found out many new details about renewable sources of energy. They were well prepared and had been presented with slideshows.
To see in real how renewable energy is done, we visited ELEM – the company that produces energy. After a lecture in their headquarters, we made a small trip to one of their water power plant. It made great impression on us, firstly because of the location – it is situated in the mountains and the road to power plant goes on very high cliffs, secondly because of used technology. Every equipment was new and high class, everything could be steered from the one main room."
LC Lugano: "Dependable Swisstems"
Marija Stojadinovic from LC Nis, participant of event "Dependable Swisstems", organized by LC Lugano in March 2007:
“There were 4 days lectures and during these days we were working on project, which we had to present on the last day. The lectures were given by Professor Miroslaw Malek and they were focused on dependability and references to timeliness and security. While working on the project, professor was helping us with it and we discussed our ideas on how some details can be changed, what can be improved… The participants as well as organizers were very friendly, talkative, and it was a pleasure to work with them.”
