During our last Assembly of Members held on December 3rd, 2015, the Czech Technical University (CTU) officially became the 7th academic partner of EURECOM. This partnership, sign of openness towards Central Europe, will lead to increased international collaboration in communication systems and information technology. Established in 1707, the CTU is one of the oldest and most important universities in Europe. With eight faculties among whom "Electrical Engineering (FEE)" and "Transportation Science", the EURECOM-CTU collaboration could materialize particularly in the areas of Security, 5G and Data Science. This agreement will give the opportunity to more than 22,000 students to integrate the EURECOM's Masters programs.

It is with their paper "IoT device management framework for smart home scenarios" that Soumya Kanti Datta and Christian Bonnet of the Mobile Communications Department, received the 3rd prize IEEE GCCE 2015 Excellent Paper Award, during the 4th "Global Conference on Consumer Electronics" which was held in Osaka from 27-30 October 2015. Congratulations to the entire team!
