  The Unconventional Computing Laboratory was founded by Prof Andy Adamatzky in 2001 as a response to an urgent need to develop computers for next century. We employ complex dynamics in physical, chemical and biological media to design novel computational techniques, architectures and working prototypes of non-linear media based computers. The research is based on an interdisciplinary cooperation in modelling and experimental verification of novel principles of information processing and analysis… Show more The Unconventional Computing Laboratory was founded by Prof Andy Adamatzky in 2001 as a response to an urgent need to develop computers for next century. We employ complex dynamics in physical, chemical and biological media to design novel computational techniques, architectures and working prototypes of non-linear media based computers. The research is based on an interdisciplinary cooperation in modelling and experimental verification of novel principles of information processing and analysis in uniform distributed large-scale chemical and physical systems. We apply these novel principles to the design of working prototypes of massively parallel computing devices with intrinsic functions that exploit the complex dynamics of non-linear systems. https://uncomp.uwe.ac.uk/people/ Show less The Unconventional Computing Laboratory was founded by Prof Andy Adamatzky in 2001 as a response to an urgent need to develop computers for next century.

Located in Noordwijk (25 kilometres from the Hague), the European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) is the incubator of the European space effort – where most ESA projects are born and where they are guided through the various phases of development. Our guide at ESTEC is Bernard Foing, Executive Director of the International Lunar Exploration Working Group (ILEWG) and Principal Project Scientist for SMART-1, the first European mission to the Moon. He will introduce you to the main activities at ESTEC: scientific research, exploration, telecommunications, human spaceflight, satellite navigation and Earth observation. Depending on the profile of your project, you can receive guidance from space scientists and engineers, access a wealth of data collected during various space missions, and invent your own way of fostering a collaboration with ESTEC. You will be further assisted by Frederik De Wilde in developing your final project for this course. Part of the classes will take place at ESTEC. Since the earliest scientific preparations for extraterrestrial travel at the beginning of the 20th century, the exploration of outer space has become a quintessential framework of the human condition and its creative manifestations. Although the artistic pursuit of space science is sill in its infancy, an accelerated evolution is currently underway.

This academic year we are planning on running a project exploring nanotechnology, and its potential impact on future products and services. To kick off the project a symposium is organised with innovative researchers from the field to help expose our students to the breadth of what is happening; from both a scientific perspective, as well as designers and critical thinkers working in the area. The day long symposium will be held on Wednesday the 17th of February 2016. De Wilde’s innovative work in the field as a creative practitioner would provide valuable insights for the launch of the project according to the organisers of the symposium.
