Trondheim has got a REMIDA center!! (see tv coverage)The idea of a center for creative recycling and reuse was developed in Reggio Emilia to support the activities of infant-toddler centers, preschools, and schools. Quoting from the Reggio Emilia web site ”Remida is a cultural project that represents a new, optimistic, and proactive way of approaching environmentalism and building change through giving value to reject materials, imperfect products, and otherwise worthless objects, to foster new opportunities for communication and creativity in a perspective of respect for objects, the environment, and human beings.”…or with simpler, but more incisive, words “remida è il posto dei sogni dei bambini” (it’s the place of children’s dreams). The idea has grown in popularity and there are now a number of centers around the globe.
Thanks to all the people who have struggled to set up the center in Trondheim and lykke til videre!!!

Intelligent Environments 2009
Together with Irene Mavrommati of CTI, we are organizing a special session on awareness systems at the International Conference on Intelligence Environments (IE2009). Have a look at the call for papers and consider joining.
According to the university newspaper, female professors at NTNU are now paid more than male professors (on average). I am not fully convinced this is good news. Discrimination based on gender is not right, even if is in favor of women...but there might be a number of other reasons to explain the data.
