It’s good to see other Tier 1 contractors benefiting from using Viewpoint for Projects as their CDE. There are so many benefits to using a single repository like Viewpoint for Projects.

TIMEZYX at EWSHM 2024 in Potsdam, Germany: 11th European Workshop on Structural Health Monitoring. https://lnkd.in/gVriGwgp Our CEO, Dr. Kamyab Zandi, Ph.D., Docent, will be presenting at the 11th  European Workshop on Structural Health Monitoring, EWSHM 2024, a world-class event that showcases the latest advances and innovations in structural health monitoring. The conference will take place on 10-13 June, 2024, at Potsdam, Germany. Presentation Highlights: In his talk “Smart Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) and Enhanced Structural Modelling” Dr. Kamyab Zandi will detail the importance of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) and advanced structural modelling in ensuring the integrity and serviceability of bridges. At the heart of this research lies the concept of a Structural Digital Twin, a living structural simulation that brings SHM data and structural models together to reflect the actual state of a structure. The outcomes of this research lay a solid ground for the future development of structural digital twins for buildings and infrastructure. These outcomes also offer essential recommendations aimed at enhancing the longevity and safety of bridges, thereby contributing to the continuous evolution of resilient transport infrastructure. #digitaltwins #structuraldigitaltwins #SHM #StructuralHealthMonitoring #EWSHM

📢 Get to know the ASSESS DHT Consortium! 👩🏫 Today, we invite you to learn more about Technische Universit��t Berlin -TUB, as part of our partner spotlight series.   The ASSESS DHT consortium comprises 14 partners from 7 countries aiming to develop and harmonise methodologies for assessing digital health technologies (#DHTs) in Europe.   💡 TUB's focus in this project is on leading the work package on the taxonomy of DHT for assessment purposes, methods review, and gap analysis. The team will study the current landscape of assessment methods and frameworks, critically assess their strengths and weaknesses, identify existing gaps, and develop a comprehensive, evidence-based DHT taxonomy. This taxonomy will enable innovative products to navigate a suitable path through the assessment framework to be developed in the project.   📍 In alphabetical order, let's meet the TUB team members working on ASSESS DHT: Béatrice Durvy, Cornelia Henschke, PD Dr., Hendrikje Rödiger, Katherine Polin, Laura Wittich and Reinhard Busse.   #digitalhealth #innovation #ASSESSDHT #healthtechnologyassessment #teamwork ASSESS DHT receives funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe Programme under Grant Agreement Number 101137347. UK participants in Horizon Europe Project ASSESS DHT are supported by UKRI grant numbers 10106825 (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) and 10108522 (University of Oxford).

Getting all on board – Can Multiple-Helix deliver the answer? SIRR’s slogan is “All onboard in rural societies for a fair future !”. Therefore, all local hubs in SIRR work towards engaging diverse stakeholders and sectors into meaningful projects and initiatives that contribute to transform our societies towards sustainability. But this is often challenging, as having a higher diversity in the innovation ecosystem also brings a higher effort in communicating and coordinating for hubs. Within the SIRR-project, knowledge creation and transfer happen hand in hand between knowledge partners and local hubs. A first foundational element of what Multiple-Helix could be in theory and practice, was recently submitted for peer review in a scientific journal. Stay tuned for an upcoming blog article explaining the background and application of a Multiple-Helix Approach in local and regional sustainable development!

🌟 #HorizonEurope project Hephaestuscraft.eu coordinator Marta Gasparin Copenhagen Business School, together with Dr Martin Quinn and Professor William Green (University of Birmingham) were keynote speakers at #IPDMC (Innovation and product development conference) conference. The IPDMC 2024 took place in Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland on June 5-7, 2024. 📢 This time the organisers and participants of the conference explored how we can leverage a plurality of perspectives for impactful innovation. This theme is relevant: the changes taking place in our society challenge us to develop responses incorporating multiple points of view so as to ensure that the innovations deployed provide timely and impactful solutions. Main discussed topics during the keynote speech: ☑ Craft and slow innovation as an alternative mode of production and consumption in the Anthropocene; ☑ Public value in the Anthropocene, reflecting on the implications for public policies in ecosystems; ☑ Innovative approaches to lifelong learning reflecting on challenges of the Anthropocene, business model innovation and value creation.

Last week, I had the chance to present the first stage of my research at #ATRF2024 Conference and PhD Symposium, held at Monash University, Melbourne. One of the key areas discussed at this conference was the integration of transport and land use planning, bringing together researchers, practitioners, and government agencies. It seems that our research is becoming more relevant to this context. The title of my presentation was “Exploring the association between housing type and travel behaviour: A focus on public transport use in Melbourne”. Our finding showed that: •      Access to public transport significantly influences public transport use. •      Apartment residents tend to use public transport more than residents in separate housing, even after controlling for access to public transport. However, the share of public transport use varies by trip purpose. •      Work-related and education trips accounted for the greatest share of public transport use across all housing types – likely due to their regularity and predictability. •      Results suggest that other factors (e.g. socio-demographic, attitudes, preferences) influence public transport use among apartment residents in Melbourne. •      The next stages of our research explore the determinants of public transport use among apartment residents and how these factors shape their decisions regarding public transport use. Special thanks to my supervisors - Chris De Gruyter, Afshin Jafari, and Sarah Foster - for their commitment to my PhD project and contributions to this presentation (and paper!), and #ATRF2024 organisers for their efforts in making the conference happen.

🎊 After 10 years, a fruitful collaboration of Sweco's healthcare experts with RESERVOIR A and Grand Hôpital de Charleroi leads to a brand new, fully operational hospital. CH Les Viviers will provide high-quality care to Charleroi and the wider region, as the largest non-university hospital in Belgium. 🧠 Having no crystal ball to look 10 years in the future, it is a major challenge to design such a complex building, in the constantly and rapidly evolving medical sector. Our design team aimed for a healing environment that supports the quality care, and offers Grand Hopital de Charleroi flexibility and expandability. 🤝 We wish them the best of luck and much success in their brand new home. 👉 Read our expert talk on how the design team applied the fundamental healing environment principles for Les Viviers Hospital: https://lnkd.in/eee2r85H 👉 Read our expert talk on the engineering solutions, mixing test-and-tried with innovative applications: https://lnkd.in/eXQ4kB36

On November 20th, 2024 the International Master Palliative Care at the HSB Hochschule Bremen – City University of Applied Sciences (GER) and the Master Physician Assistant program at the Hanze (NL) have launched a collaborative project under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Henrikje Stanze and Dr. Luppo Kuilman. During the first online meeting students discussed possible international project proposals, for which they will conduct interviews with palliative care experts worldwide and deliver a final presentation. The project leverages innovative digital tools to enhance teaching, including shared platforms, collaborative whiteboards (i.e. lucidspark.com), and a video communication platform. This initiative aligns with the STARS EU vision and aims to foster new curricular opportunities for international teaching, knowledge exchange, and relationship building. Guided by the mottos "We are many" and "Share your talent, Move the world" the project exemplifies a commitment to international collaboration in education, practice and research. #palliativecare #physicianassistant #medicaleducation #healthcare #inspire #ignite #innovate #wearemany #shareyourtalentmovetheworld #hsb #hanze #starseu
