Yesterday and today the first Open Health Spain symposium on clinical interoperability issues is taking place in Alcala. Organized by the IE, ATOS Research and Innovation and the Fuenlabrada University Hospital, this symposium aims at gathering together researchers and practitioners in the field of Health interoperability in Spain.

Some of the members of the group are on board of the newly created Spanish chapter of ACM SIGCSE.

The Spanish University system is facing the renewal of its degrees to adapt to the “Bologna process“. This group aims at becoming a place to discuss on how the new curricula and ways of teaching and learning will impact computing studies in a broad sense (be them Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems or any other related discipline).

 

The Web site is here: http://www.sigcse.es/ and there will be a first meeting at Salamanca this year.

Members are sought!

Miguel A. Sicilia and Salvador Sanchez-Alonso arrived in Corfu island as part of the (as a joke) so-called IE Greek tour 2007. Nice town but a very busy time by the way, as we first faced two days meetings for the LUISA project to afterwards get fully involved in the activities of MTSR 2007.

Corfu old town

Anyway, there is always time to relax with some local friends (see Dr. Lytras in the picture below) and to open new opportunities for collaboration. Together with, of course, some time to taste the excellent Greek cuisine.
