<p class="MsoNormal">Dear C-IoT Management Group,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Apologies for the rather short notice, but we&#8217;re running a workshop next Friday afternoon to bring together researchers from Engineering &#43; ECS interested in the topic of &#8216;smart infrastructure&#8217;, to identify mutual challenges and explore
 new collaborations. See the attached agenda for more context.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I&#8217;m looking for attendees from ECS who have some related track record in this space, and are interested in exploring potential new collaborations. If you&#8217;re interested in attending, or think that someone else in your group should, please
 can I ask you/them to register at <a href="https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/smart-instrumentation-for-iot-workshop-tickets-76755550919">
https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/smart-instrumentation-for-iot-workshop-tickets-76755550919</a> so that we have an idea of numbers? Please restrict to academic attendees &#8211; if you think a postdoc would be ideal to attend, please check with me first. I&#8217;m looking
 for those that can actively contribute to collaborative supervision, proposals, etc.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you are attending, would you be interested in giving a short technical talk on your (or that of your group&#8217;s/colleagues&#8217;) interests and track-record in this space?<o:p></o:p></p>
