UC3M and IMDEA Networks present the SLICES research infrastructure

Cutting-edge ICT experimentation in Spain The Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) and IMDEA Networks are going to present the Spanish scientific community with a new instrument for carrying out complex experiments in the area of digital sciences. SLICES ( www.slices-ri.eu ), as it is called, is available to research staff and is part of a European infrastructure for experimenting in the information and communication technologies (ICT) of the future, which is based in Spain at UC3M. At the SLICES UC3M Conference, which will take place at the University's Leganés Campus on the 31st of January, several UC3M researchers working in areas and platforms related to the Spanish SLICES node at different levels will present its main characteristics and the scope of several of the services provided by this infrastructure. IMDEA Networks and the University of the Basque Country are also participating in the Spanish SLICES node (SLICES-ES), as well as UC3M. The event is expected to be attended by UC3M's Vice-Rector for Research and Transfer, Luis Enrique García Muñoz, and the Deputy Minister for Universities, Research and Science of the Community of Madrid, Ana Ramírez de Molina. Two advanced experimentation services from the SLICES-Madrid node ( slices-madrid.eu ), will be presented at this conference hosted at UC3M. SLICES-Madrid will allow, among other services, large-scale experiments to be carried out with a very powerful Internet of Things (IoT) satellite service with coverage throughout Europe.
