April 26, 10:00-13:00

Ahhaa Science Centre

Our daily lives are impossible to imagine without technical solutions and IT. Do we realise what kind of risks computers and internet lay ahead us? A completley new range of problems we can't even think of before they realize. Only professionals using "comprehensible" language can explain what those risks may comprise. We have carefully selected speakers:

 

- Siim Aben (Ernst & Young) "Your company, your risks" will tell us how to identify and manage risks;

- Tarvi Tara (Oracle Estonia) "If Trust is not Enough?" will question our ability to trust but check our employees, and shows how to secure our trust in people;

- Kristjan N��r (Linxtelecom Estonia) "Your Data Cables" will describe the value of secure internet channels in our daily work.

 

Please register latest April 25 at 12:00 at [email protected]. Light lunch and short excursion at science centre shall be offered to those interested. Participation is free of charge. 30€ will be charged for no-shows and cancellations made 20 hours or less prior to the event.

Recent news from Copenhagen Post:

Danes are the hedonists of the north. New study shows great difference in how Nordic countries view personal wealth. Danes are hedonists, Norwegians focus on their careers, Swedes are generous and the Finns seek security. Such is the conclusion of a survey by internet bank Nordnet. Common to all the Nordic countries, according to the study, is that they all associate economic independence with being able to travel the world and experience new things.

- Don't panic, but interest rates just rose. Senior economists say central bank's decision to raise interest rate is sign of life for economy and consumers should not panic. The European Central Bank (ECB) decided on Thursday to raise the key interest rate by 0.25 percent and Nationalbanken, Denmark's central bank, followed suit. The long anticipated interest rate hike is the first the ECB has made since the beginning of the financial crisis in July 2008. Senior economists predict that this week's interest rate hike is just the first in a series to come. But that is no reason to panic, they say.

- Copenhagen restaurant voted best in world for second year running. The world's best restaurant is still in Copenhagen after Ren� Redzepi's noma held on to the title it won last year. Noma received the award at the annual S.Pellegrino World's Best Restaurant Awards 2011 held in London last night. When the winner was announced, a team of ten noma employees took to the stage to accept the award - wearing Viking helmets to emphasise the Nordic element. "This would never have happened without you guys. We did it together," a clearly moved Redzepi told his nine colleagues, amid thunderous applause from the audience, consisting of some of the world's best chefs.
