On behalf of the organizers of the conference, we would like to say that the last years paper proposed for the IEEE Region 8 Student Paper Contest 2018, entitled "Fooling a neural network with common adversarial Noise", by Nikola Popović and Marko Mihajlović, won the third place in this competition in Marrakech in Morocco, and we congratulate them!
Within the conference and under the auspices of the Center for the Promotion of Science (CPS), workshops were held at the StartUp Center at the Faculty of Electronic Engineering as part of the project “Let’s put knowledge into practical work”. Workshops were attended by students of elementary and high schools, where they participated in making practical projects onto breadboard, Arduino environment and ELENCO Snap Circuits kit. Other projects financed by the CPS showed their potential. Also, representatives of the Regional Center for Professional Development from Niš and representatives of the Center for Vocational Training in Education from Leskovac and their Science Clubs presented opportunity for cooperation on similar projects.
All authors received the IEEESTEC Conference promotional material: a collection of papers, a ballpoint pen, a block and a bag. The best papers were awarded with diplomas and awards, gifts from friends of the conference. Participants of the conference were from the following institutions: Faculty of Electronic Engineering in Niš, Faculty of Information and Communication Technologies Bitola, University of Nova de Lisboa-Portugal, Technical University of Zagreb, Faculty of Electrical Engineering in Belgrade, Faculty of Information Technology, Metropolitan University, University in Ulm, Electrotechnical School “Nikola Tesla” Niš, Petnica Science Centre, Leskovac Gymnasium, Technical School in Zaječar, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Belgrade, Technical School in Pirot, Knjaževac Gymnasium and Technical School in Loznica, Metropolitan university in Belgrade, University of Balearic islands in Spain, Middle East Technical University, Electrotechnical school “Mihajlo Pupin” Novi Sad, High school “Milenko Brzak Uča” in Ruma, Malaraden University, Electrotechnical school “Mija Stanimirović” in Niš.
We hope that next year this conference will be even better organized and more massive.
