Dear IEEE Region 9 members,

The Universidad de Montevideo will be the host university for the upcoming IEEE Student Branch Regional Meeting, to be held in Uruguay from October 5–7, 2025.

In anticipation of this unique opportunity to gather the IEEE Latin American community, we would like to extend a special invitation to participate in the Quantum Hackathon Latam 2025: Quantum for Climate, which will take place in person in Montevideo from October 1–3, just before the Regional Meeting.

This hackathon, the first of its kind in Latin America, is organized by Universidad de Montevideo together with the Open Quantum Institute (CERN, GESDA, UBS) and is aimed at undergraduate and graduate students from across Latin America who are interested in applying quantum computing to climate challenges.

🌎 Website, more information, and applications:
👉 https://www.um.edu.uy/quantum_hackathon (in Spanish and English). The event will be held mainly in Spanish, though some activities or talks may be in English or Portuguese, and the final pitch will be presented in English. 

Application deadline: July 15, 2025. 

🎓 Participation requirements:

Complete the free QWorld course (10 sessions in August), which grants official certification.
👉 https://qworld.net/oqi-hackathon-course/

👨‍💻 Participants (“hackers”): basic programming knowledge is required.
🧠 Mentors: prior experience in quantum computing is expected.

💡 For all the selected students, we offer:

  • Free accommodation in Montevideo during the event

  • Meals included during the three days

  • Partial travel support to help ensure broad regional participation

👩‍🏫 To professors: we would greatly appreciate your help in sharing this opportunity with your students, especially those involved in projects, clubs, or student branches related to quantum computing, sustainability, or innovation.

This will be a rich international experience, bringing together students, academics, and industry leaders to collaborate on real-world challenges using emerging technologies.

We look forward to welcoming you in Montevideo!

Warm regards,

DiversityOne Open Challenge at Ubicomp 2025: Exploring People’s Everyday Life Behavior with Mobile Data

June 17th, 2025 Daniela Lopez de Luise
DiversityOne Open Challenge: Exploring Diversity in People’s Everyday Life Behavior with Mobile Data

held at 

The ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing (UbiComp)

Espoo, Finland, October 12-16, 2025

Workshop website:  https://datascientiafoundation.github.io/diversityone-2025/ 

The open challenge aims to explore the DiversityOne dataset, one of the larger and most geographically diverse datasets for everyday life behavior modeling. The dataset combines questionnaires about demographic and psychosocial variables from 18K participants, and passive smartphone sensor data and self-reported annotations from 782 students across eight universities in eight countries. The study followed ethical approval procedures in each of the participating institutions and is compliant with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This dataset is a rich, flexible and valuable research resource that can be used to answer research questions in multiple fields: machine learning, mobile sensing, computational social science, behavioral recognition, and many others. This challenge offers the opportunity to work on the dataset and gain useful feedback on your research. We welcome contributions from researchers from diverse backgrounds and geographical provenances. In particular, we welcome contributions that address aspects including, but not limited to:

  • AI/ubiquitous computing/mobile sensing

  • data-centric AI

  • interactive machine learning

  • noisy annotation detection and correction

  • domain adaptation

  • transfer learning

  • activity and mood recognition

  • responsible and ethical AI

  • Computational social science

  • network analysis of social systems

  • sequence analysis of diary data

  • analysis of communities of practices

  • machine learning or rule-based analysis of social behavior

  • Designing with data

  • studies focusing on the design and documentation of the dataset collection

  • studies focusing on the design affordances of the dataset

  • data-centric design

  • user-centered design

Why join?
