The NUI Galway-based Digital Enterprise Research Institute (DERI) is to open its doors for an open day on 6 April. Minister for Research & Innovation, Sean Sherlock will give the keynote address at the event.
The day-long event will reflect the work undertaken by DERI’s 120 researchers who, with key partners from multinational companies and SMEs, are shaping the next generation of Web technologies such as semantic search.
The Institute’s focus is on education and technology transfer, which directly contributes to the Irish government’s plan of transforming Ireland into a competitive knowledge economy.
Prof Stefan Decker of DERI said: “The discovery, integration, and exploitation of the humongous amount of the Web’s information have become important challenges. DERI is taking on these challenges by defining and executing a research agenda and outreach activities targeted at enabling and supporting people, organisations, and systems to collaborate and interoperate on a global scale using semantic web technologies.”
Michael Turley, CEO of DERI added: “By helping to create critical new jobs, products, services and commercial opportunities, our centre is an integral part of the national strategy of transforming Ireland into a competitive knowledge economy. Our event on 6 April gives us a chance to network with existing partners and open up our research to potential new collaborations and influences.”
