Workshop UNSTPB – ITU

During 30 Oct – 1 Nov, from the UNSTPB, a delegation consisting of Bogdan Rosca, Niculescu Alex Cosmin, Stoica Vadim and Stefan Mihnea at the ITU headquarters in view of the discussions within WP5. Since in the period 2023-2027 UNSTPB will lead WP4 – European Campus together with PSL Paris, the interest of the meeting focused more on the presentation of the BeeNOME platform made by ITU. The platform will have to be integrated by the IT team of UNSTPB in the general platform of the EELISA alliance, which is why all the components of the platform created by the Turkish colleagues have been detailed.

Going into this meeting we were expecting to recieve a presentation about the BeeNOME platform. The website created by the stuff at Istanbul Technical Univesity to connect students, professors and corporations into one. The students played the part of fresh new blood wanting to learn and do new things. The professors had access to different tools to help spread their work with everyone on the internet. And the corporations provided the capitalist efficiency to the entire ecosystem, meaning they could either look for students to hire and post bounties with different projects they were willing to finance.

We were greeted by the professors from ITU and brought into their operations room. It was filled with people excited to talk about their work on the BeeNOME project and their future plans with it. We got a sneek peak at their project and got to see the backend and frontend of it.

Even thought the project is this under construction, we are optimisitic it will be a great value to out society as a whole.
