Archaeology offers a captivating glimpse into our past, though expeditions within this field frequently encounter challenges such as accessing fragile sites, conducting precise excavations, and preserving delicate relics. The integration of robotics in archaeology marks a remarkable advancement in unlocking the secrets of our ancient past. By providing precision, preservation, and access to hard-to-reach sites, robots empower archaeologists to explore history’s mysteries with unprecedented accuracy. Furthermore, AI can facilitate the reading of millennia-old texts, predicts potential archaeological sites, and reconstructs ancient cities, landscapes, and artifacts, enhancing our understanding and visualization of the ancient world. As we harness the potential of robotics and AI in archaeological research, we safeguard our cultural heritage, connect with our shared history, and inspire future generations to appreciate the importance of preserving and learning from our past. Ahead of the International Archeology Day on October 21, explore the revolutionary role of AI and robotics in archaeology, uncovering how they enable us to unravel the mysteries of ancient civilizations while preserving our cultural heritage for generations to come.

This session will explore advanced methods in deep generative modeling for molecular simulations, focusing on a novel approach to improve the accuracy and efficiency of normalizing flows in approximating complex target distributions, such as Boltzmann  distributions of physical systems. Traditional methods for training flows often struggle with mode-seeking behavior, use samples from the target generated beforehand by expensive MCMC methods, or use stochastic losses that have high variance. reliance on costly MCMC-generated samples, or high-variance stochastic losses. We will introduce Flow AIS Bootstrap (FAB), a new technique that integrates annealed importance sampling (AIS) to overcome these limitations. By minimizing the mass-covering α-divergence with α=2, FAB reduces importance weight variance and generates samples in regions where the flow poorly approximates the target, aiding in the discovery of new modes. The session will highlight how FAB accurately approximates multimodal targets, outperforming previous methods. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to learn the Boltzmann distribution of the alanine dipeptide molecule using only the unnormalized target density, without access to samples generated via Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations: FAB produces better results than training via maximum likelihood on MD samples while using 100 times fewer target evaluations. After reweighting the samples, we obtain unbiased histograms of dihedral angles that are almost identical to the ground truth.

The recent backlash against Big Tech has come from both sides of the aisle, with the conservative anti-tech sentiment showing up in state laws governing social media in Florida, Texas, Louisiana, and more, as well as in Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation's blueprint for the future of conservative policy. While advocating for small government and a hands-off regulatory approach in many other areas, anti-tech conservatives also argue for breaking up Big Tech, banning TikTok, and scrapping Section 230, relying on many of the same arguments that anti-tech liberals use: tech is addictive, harmful to children, detrimental to free speech and privacy, and responsible for bias and political division. Join ITIF for an expert panel discussion exploring how anti-tech conservatives would weaponize the government against technology, the legitimacy of conservatives' anti-tech arguments, and the implications of their proposals for society.Questions for the speakers?

The European Union and its member states are pushing for meaningful reform of the global financial architecture. Created 80 years ago, the current financial system no longer reflects today’s realities. Here’s our Deputy Secretary - General Simon Mordue on why and how.

'Britain’s relations with its neighbours and the EU: what has changed and what can change?' Britain’s Labour Party came to power in early July. It was the UK’s first change of government since Brexit and since the upheaval Britain’s departure from the EU caused in relations with its European neighbours. In the coming edition of IIEA Insights, Daithí Ó Ceallaigh and John Peet will assess how Ireland-UK relations have changed and whether Northern Ireland’s post-Brexit position in the EU single market for goods is permanently settled. Britain’s other bilateral relationships with European countries and prospects for closer cooperation with the EU will also be examined. Daithí Ó Ceallaigh is a former Irish diplomat and chair of the IIEA’s UK group. Among other rolls during his career he served as Ireland’s ambassador to Finland and the UN in Geneva. He was also deeply involved in Ireland-UK relations, culminating in his appointment as ambassador to the UK in 2001. After his retirement from the Department of Foreign Affairs in 2009, he led the IIEA as Director General. John Peet is The Economist‘s political and Brexit editor. Over his decades-long career at the paper, he has held a range of senior positions, including Europe editor and business affairs editor. He also spent time in Brussels and Washington DC as the paper’s correspondent. Before joining The Economist John was a civil servant.

How to find the energy to look at the bright side of life when the news sometimes makes it seem like the world is falling apart? We spoke to author, #GMF24 speaker and Good Things Guy Brent Lindeque about how you can adjust your mindset and keep a balanced view of what's happening - without going crazy.

'Think Global and Act Local' was the theme of this year's National Patient Safety Conference at Dublin Castle 17 Sep 2024. TRANSCRIPT: RACHEL KENNA Our theme here today is 'think global and act local', and that is really, really important in the context of bringing the global learnings around patient safety, because we've already heard this morning, through some of the evidence, that this is a very complex global problem that, around the world, we're all grappling with. But there is significant learnings that, when we come together, we can succeed in our mission to prevent as much harm as possible in our systems and give the best patient experience. In particular, I suppose, I'm delighted that I heard the Minister's intending to commence the Patient Safety Act 2023 which is a really important, kind of, legislative platform for us to build all of our work on from a patient safety context. We've heard that policy is important, but equally that regulation, education, our clinical and non-clinical staff right throughout the system, and that this is about responsibility for everybody, and everybody doing their job in the context of it. Embedding and centralising patient engagement, the patient voice, patients as partners into our system, is, around the world, what is recognised as fundamental to a well-functioning system, and I think for Ireland and for all of our staff and clinicians and partners here today to hear that in the context of all the reform that's underway, is a really, really important message. BERNIE O’REILLY: We always feel very welcome here, and we always feel we fit. It encompasses everything we stand for. And we want health literacy to be part of people's education, to be part of how our communities interact with us, to be part of how healthcare interacts acts with us. As a World Health Organization group, we advocate for whatever guidance that the World Health Organization gives us. Today, we're advocating for this Patient Safety Rights Charter to be to be supported, and that people will sign up to it. There's something in it for everybody. It's geared at us as a society, to make healthcare fair and equitable and available to everybody and to support human rights.

President von der Leyen put Europe’s sustainable prosperity and competitiveness at the top of her political agenda for 2024-2029. In this context, she pledged to launch a Clean Industrial Deal in the first 100 days of the new mandate. At this event the panelists discussed the potential shape of this new initiative, with a particular focus on the necessary EU policy toolkit to support clean tech manufacturing and industrial decarbonisation. New data from Bruegel’s European Clean Tech Tracker served as an input to the discussion.

In this last episode of the Young Professional Satellite docu series, we follow the team’s last steps to make their dream come true: sending their satellite to space. After securing the crucial final assembly and battery connection, we take you inside the thermal vacuum tests (TVAC) to see how YPSat is tested under the extreme temperatures of space; through vibration tests to ensure its structural integrity during launch; and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) tests to prevent interference with the launcher’s systems. As we approach the European Space Agency’s traditional Flight Acceptance Review, the satellite is officially certified for flight. With the integration complete and final battery charge applied, control is handed over to the rocket. The only task left for the teams on the ground is to analyse one last time the rocket’s trajectory and await the critical first signal. As tension builds up on launch day, watch as the team retrieves YPSat’s data and decodes breathtaking images and videos from its mission. ————————————————— Credits: Directed and produced by Chilled Winston: https://chilledwinston.com/ and Emma de Cocker Powered by ESA - European Space Agency Soundtracks from Epidemic Sound ————————————————— Chapters: 00:00 - Introduction 01:30 - Final Assembly 02:49 - The Test Campaign 06:42 - Final Launch Preparations 10:01 - Ariane 6 Launch 11:38 - Gathering & Decoding the Footage 15:15 - Unveiling the Footage 17:08 - Watch at the End ★ Subscribe: http://bit.ly/ESAsubscribe and click twice on the bell button to receive our notifications.

These actions pose a major threat to reliable access to power, heating and communications services across Ukraine this winter.This special report will lay out 10 key actions to reinforce the country’s energy security – essential to its security overall – at this critical juncture. It will take stock of the war’s impact on Ukraine’s energy sector, identify key risks for the coming winter and outline immediate actions that Ukraine and its partners could take in response. It will also examine the specific challenges facing Moldova this winter as the country’s gas transit contract with Russia’s Gazprom comes to an end.

In Europe, no one can have unlimited power. This is why the legislature, the executive and the judiciary are separated. These powers check and balance each other. By upholding this principle, we protect the rule of law in Europe.

In Europe, no one is above the law. Laws are adopted in a democratic process, based on clear rules. Those in power must act according to the law. By upholding this principle, we protect the rule of law in Europe.

In Europe, judges need to be independent from the government. Only independent courts can defend fundamental rights. They cannot favour any of the parties to the case. This is why citizens and businesses can trust that their cases are decided fairly. By upholding this principle, we ensure that everyone receives a fair trial.

In Europe, no one holding public office can act arbitrarily or abuse their power for personal gain. If they do, they will be held accountable. By upholding this principle, we ensure that the exercise of executive power serves the interests of the public.

In Europe, the rules must be clear and foreseeable. This way, citizens and businesses know what their rights and obligations are, allowing them to act accordingly. By upholding this principle, we protect the rule of law in Europe.

In Europe, the same rules apply to everyone regardless of their origin, gender, race, age, religion, or any other attribute. By upholding the principle of equality before the law, we ensure fairness in Europe.

One million schoolbooks for Ukrainian schoolchildren and teachers! The final lorryload has arrived in Ukraine! We are so pleased. It’s amazing to think, but if they could form a chain, the one million copies could pave the road between Kyiv and Odessa – a bit more than 450 kilometres. We are proud to have helped accomplish this ‘Schoolbooks for Ukraine’ project. Financed under the umbrella of the European Commission's Erasmus+ programme, the project serves as a case study for the EU’s tangible humanitarian efforts. This is the second batch of Ukrainian schoolbooks we have helped to bring to life, raising the total books we’ve produced and delivered to 1.5 million! It wasn’t an easy project, but seeing the children with the books was a very powerful moment for us. After all the work upstream and the concerns about the journey into a war zone, it was a real comfort. 💙 💛 #StandWithUkraine

ISLAND, a SESAR 3 project led by the EUROCONTROL Innovation Hub with the involvement of 19 partners, focuses on developing a more efficient and responsive airspace system by harnessing artificial intelligence and machine learning to increase automation and develop recommendation support tools. The project is organised into two innovative solutions. Digital Capacity addresses air traffic flow management challenges by improving the way we optimise airspace usage, predict traffic patterns and encourage teamwork. With this AI-powered solution, we will be able to foresee critical network situations accurately, contributing to a smarter and more efficient air navigation system. The Virtual Centre solution focuses on providing on-demand air traffic services. The solution aims at transforming the way airspace is managed by delegating ATM services among various air traffic service units, which enhances both efficiency and resilience. By leveraging virtualisation, we will be able to adapt to traffic demand without geographical limitations, leading to cost savings and reduced CO2 emissions.

NATO’s fighter pilots met up for a “dogfighting” competition to sharpen their skills in a series of aerial duels high above Ramstein, Germany. The first “1 vs 1” event hosted by United States Air Forces in Europe, this competition allowed NATO’s fighter pilots to test their mettle against aircraft they’ve never fought before, providing an invaluable opportunity to familiarise themselves with Allied equipment and tactics. The competition drew more than 30 jets from nine Allies, namely Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, the United Kingdom and the United States, to Ramstein Air Base in Germany, which hosts the headquarters of NATO’s Allied Air Command. In this video, NATO asks two pilots who duelled each other – First Lieutenant Alexander “Stitch” Grandt of the German Air Force, and Captain Patrick “HObIT” Pearce of the US Air Force – to break down their aerial engagement and tell us what they have learnt from going head-to-head. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ SUBSCRIBE to this channel https://bit.ly/NATOsubscribe SUBSCRIBE to NATO News https://bit.ly/NATONewsSubscribe SUBSCRIBE to NATO History https://bit.ly/NATOHistorySubscribe Connect with NATO online: Visit the Official NATO Homepage: https://bit.ly/NATOhomepage Receive NATO updates via email: https://bit.ly/NATOemails Find NATO on FACEBOOK: https://bit.ly/NATOfacebook Follow @NATO on TWITTER: https://bit.ly/NATOtwitter Follow NATO on Instagram: https://bit.ly/NATOinstagram Find NATO on LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/NATOlinkedin Find NATO on Flickr: https://bit.ly/NATOflickr #NATO #OTAN #avgeek

In this workshop, we will introduce key theoretical concepts about graphs, such as vertices, edges, degrees, and centrality. We will illustrate concepts through a use case, using tools currently offered in BTDI. All the tools used during these workshops are available to EU public administrations to experiment with data for free. The use case will explore visitor visa applications for different European Union countries, highlighting the different application and acceptance numbers. Short-stay visas are an important component of border control practices, and their analysis provides some insight into the relationships between different countries.

What are the deeper reasons for Germany’s cautious position on the Russian war against Ukraine? Guests: renowned German politicians and civil society figures Marieluise Beck and Ralf Fücks, co-founders of the Center for Liberal Modernity (https://libmod.de/en/) in Berlin. Host: Volodymyr Yermolenko, Ukrainian philosopher, chief editor of UkraineWorld and president of PEN Ukraine UkraineWorld (ukraineworld.org) is brought to you by Internews Ukraine, one of Ukraine’s largest media NGOs.

According to Dr Šedivý, Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine has highlighted the necessity for the EU to strengthen Europe’s Defence Technological and Industrial Base (EDTIB). A resilient and competitive EDTIB is a precondition for being able to develop and produce the capabilities that Member States and the EU’s partners require for their defence and security. Since February 2022, the EU has launched several major initiatives to boost the EDTIB and address defence gaps, especially ammunition stocks. Going forward, European defence spending needs to remain at the same, relatively high level if the EDTIB and Member States’ armed forces are to be fit for purpose and if Europe is to have the capabilities that it needs to address both current and future challenges. About the Speaker: Jiří Šedivý is the Chief Executive of the European Defence Agency, a position which he has held since 2020. Previously, Dr Šedivý served as Defence Minister of the Czech Republic (2006-2007), Deputy Defence Minister (2010-2012), NATO Assistant Secretary General for Defence Policy and Planning (2007-2010), and Permanent Representative of the Czech Republic to NATO (2012-2019). He was also the Czech Special Representative for Resilience and New Threats at the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs (2019-2020). Dr Šedivý is a graduate of Charles University, Prague where he completed a PhD in Political Science and of King’s College London where he earned an MA in War Studies.
