A series of Workshops on Uncertainty Processing (WUPES) has been held in Czechia every third year since 1988. Proceedings from several previous workshops can be found on their websites ( WUPES'18, WUPES'15, WUPES'12, WUPES'09, and WUPES'06).

Zaměstnanci ÚTIA se již 10 let účastní výzvy Do práce na kole. Tato výzva probíhá vždy v květnu a spočívá v tom, dopravovat se do práce co nejvíce bezmotorovým způsobem - tedy nejen na kole, ale i pěšky, během, nebo třeba na koloběžce.

V letošním roce se nás k výzvě připojil rekordní počet - celkem 16 kolegů. Nejzdatnější z nich, který dojíždí na kole od Říčan, už od začátku května najezdil téměř 500km. Všichni dohromady zvládli dosáhnout 82% pravidelnosti.

Děkujeme ÚTIA za podporu!
