	ADOSE Second Review meeting 4 March 2010, Leuven, IMEC The second Review meeting of the ADOSE project took place on 4th of March 2010 at the site of partner IMEC in Leuven, Belgium. The design phases of the addressed ADOSE sensors (MFOS sensor, FIR imager, 3D camera, harmonic radar and tags, SRS sensor) has progressed successfully and the project has fully achieved its objectives and technical goals for the period. First sensor prototypes can be demonstrated.

	ADOSE at 7th ICVS (Computer Vision) 13.-15. Oct. 2009, Liege, Belgium The 7th International Conference on Computer Vision systemstook place in Liege, Belgium, from October 13 – 15, 2009. While most computer vision conferences focus on either algorithms or applications, ICVS addresses issues arising in the design and deployment of computer vision systems. Unusual hardware and designs, vision in action (robotics, automotive, protection and safety systems) are some of the focussed topics. ADOSE was represented by a paper and a poster on the Silicon Retina stereo Sensor.

	ADOSE at 16th ITS World Congress 21-25 Sept. 2009, Stockholm Over 8000 delegates from across the world came to participate in the 16th ITS World Congress in Stockholm, the leading congress on Intelligent Transportation Systems. For the first time in its history, all modes of transport were represented and visitors could experience and understand the benefits of ‘ITS in daily life’. ADOSE was presented at the ST booth, a partner of ADOSE, through a dedicated exhibition panel demonstrating the Functional CMOS Camera as developed in ADOSE, under the heading of “High performance and low cost sensors for preventive and active safety systems”. The ADOSE brochure was distributed as information material. The event was successful and resulted in many interested contacts both from industry and research.

	ADOSE at DATE’09 Conference 21-23 April 2009, Nice (FR), Acropolis Conference Centre ADOSE was presented via a poster, flyers and in a brochure at the ARC Booth in the “European Projects” Exhibition Area of DATE’09 dedicated to dissemination of EC Projects. DATE is one of the leading conferences in Europe on Design, Automation and Test of software-intensive systems, with this year’s focus on SoC and embedded systems. By joining with ARTEMIS, attendance could be increased to over 5,000 researchers, engineers, executives and policy makers from industry, academia and public authorities.

	ADOSE First Review meeting 25 Feb. 2009, Bruxelles (BE), European Commission The first Review meeting of ADOSE project took place on 25th, Feb. 2009 at European Commission in Bruxelles. The concept design phases of the addressed ADOSE sensors (MFOS sensor, FIR imager, 3D camera, harmonic radar and tags, SRS sensor) have been completed successfully and the project has fully achieved its objectives and technical goals for the period.

	ADOSE at AutoTest Booth of ARC 22-23 Oct. 2008, Stuttgart (DE) At AutoTest in Stuttgart, close to the heart of German automotive industry and research, ADOSE was presented at the ARC Booth with a poster and information disseminated via flyer distribution.

	ADOSE Poster at ME 08 15-16 Oct. 2008, Vienna (AT) At ME’08 (bi-annual Micro-Electronics Conference) in Vienna, at the University of Applied Sciences, FH Technikum, ADOSE was present in the poster gallery and roused considerable interest.

	First Deliverables (D1.1, D1.2) completed and delivered 7 Oct. 2008 After several internal review cycles, D1.1 (Analysis and Assessment of potential scenarios) and D1.2 (Sensor Requirements and Specifications) were released, together with D3.1, D5.1 and D6.1, which describe the detailed specifications and the preliminary design of MFOS (Multi-functional optical sensor), Harmonic Radar and Tags and the SRS (Silicon Retina Stereo Sensor).

	ADOSE Project Plenary Meeting 3-4 Jul. 2008, Agrate Brianza (IT), ST Microelectronics The first ADOSE Project Plenary Meeting was held on 3rd – 4th, July 2008 at STMicroelectronics in Agrate Brianza. The meeting mainly focussed on the definition of scenarios, requirements and specifications, and on the preliminary concept design of the ADOSE sensors.

	Korea-EU Cooperation Forum on ICT 16-17 June 2008, Seoul, South Korea This 2-day Cooperation Event was co-organised by the European Commission (DG Information Society and Media) and Korean authorities. The Forum aimed at identifying, discussing, and developing joint strategic ICT research projects. In the embedded systems and control session, participants were expected to make a short presentation of their participation in EU-funded projects in this area, and their research interests. ADOSE was presented under the heading “road safety” and “advanced sensors”.

	"ICT for Transport" Concertation Meeting 13-14 Mar. 2008, Bruxelles (BE), European Commission The main topic was the presentation of the new FP7 projects (first and second call) as well as some results of the FP6 projects. The work on the communication architecture for cooperative systems was also one point of the agenda. ADOSE was presented in the “Intelligent Vehicle Systems” session.

	ADOSE WP1 Workshop 4 Mar. 2008, Vienna (AT), ARC The first ADOSE Workshop was organised on 4th March, 2008 in Vienna at ARC. The focus was on WP1 “Scenarios, requirements and specifications”: the potential and restrictions of ADOSE sensors were discussed and the work was organised in view of the planned public deliverable reports, D1.1 and D1.2.

	ADOSE Kick-off meeting, 30-31 Jan. 2008, Orbassano (IT), CRF The ADOSE project started officially with a Kick-off meeting on 30th - 31st, Jan. 2008 at CRF in Orbassano. It addresses the enhancement of preventive and active safety functions through the development of high performance and low cost sensing technologies suitable for reliable detection and classification of obstacles and vulnerable road users.
