Hello guys, I am seriously needing help in framing a topic for myself. I am currently a MSc Risk student at Durham University. I have always been interested in smart cities and urban analytics in relation to flooding. I will also like to expand on my selected topic for my PhD. Thanks in anticipation for your help.

Edge AI Handson Special @SensemakersAMS
This Wednesday we'll be tinkering in the Makerspace of the OBA again, you can work on your own projects but you can also join the free workshop where you can learn to run an AI model locally on your smartphone or microcontroller and teach it to do keyword spotting or object recognition.
Looking forward to seeing you! We spreken trouwens ook Nederlands!

Remote Sensing (Satellites), Vrijheidscollege
Dimitri Tokmetzis (1975) is a historian and investigative journalist. He leads the data team of Follow The Money and wrote the books Je hebt wel iets te verbergen (2016) and De digitale Schaduw (2012). He is currently very much involved in remote sensing, which allows you to obtain information about a person, animal or thing without making physical contact. In his Freedom Lecture he discusses power and freedom in a time when the sky is full of satellites.
The intention is to end the evening with an interactive debate based on the lecture!

Sensemakers #IoTDay celebration: Easter Workshop
For the 15th year we're celebrating International IoTDay, it's all about sharing knowledge about how to create your own projects and connecting with people in the process!
We’re excited to share a fun and engaging project with you! Join the Easter workshop, creating a beautiful personalized ornament that you can lasercut and program yourself! (of course we'll help!)
More information on the project can be found here:
https://sensemakersams.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Sensemakers-XMas2024-Project.pdf
There is a fee involved, but we have 2 'Pay-It-Forward' kits available for those low on budget this holiday season. Just dm Manon if you want one of those!
And of course we'll have some free alternatives like experimenting with 3D printing your own Easter-buddy:-)
Hello Grace, thank you for this. I have not started the dissertation yet, just trying to bring my idea together. Thanks.
Hi Peter I hope your dissertation is going well, I don't know how far you have progressed since your post, so you may already know what you are writing on. I am also currently writing dissertation, and have formed my question by choosing a city important to me and seeing how it could improve in relation to my area of interest. I'm looking at urban greening, but if you were to do this with smart cities, you could use case studies of other projects such as the Amsterdam smart city or Milton Keynes (only 2 I know of, though I'm sure you'll know many more) and see how their efforts could be applied in another location. The other benefit I have found of relating it to a city you know is that you can talk to people locally about their opinions and knowledge, and you will have an understanding of the potential challenges in that location.
I hope everything goes well with your dissertation work, it sounds very interesting
