HOW FAR IS ACADEMIA FROM INDUSTRY? 19.4% savings in CAPEX! 2019-03-14 Public
HOW FAR IS ACADEMIA FROM INDUSTRY? 19.4% savings in CAPEX $$ Branding! Minimize power consumption supports global goals for sustainable development 7, 12, and 13 You need to build your ideal network from scratch Ignore legacy Customer impact? Well we ll see Customized routing with very creative traffic engineering Operations Maintenance What happens to the algorithm when the topology changes? HEY! BUT PURPLE IS THE NEW GREEN! 2019-03-14 Public
HOW FAR IS ACADEMIA FROM INDUSTRY? Is the academia providing the students with the necessary tools to understand what happens in the real world? Good background experience is not everything Network transformation journey Direct cost are easy to understand indirect cost are inexistent Lack of cost- risk-assessment 100% of the solution comes at 100% of the cost 80% of the solution comes at 60% of the cost The penalty of not providing a good service 20% of the times comes at 5% of the total cost There is definitely a gap! 2019-03-14 Public

WHERE ARE THE SYNERGIES BETWEEN BOTH WORLDS? Are industry and research too far from each to actually find any synergies between these two worlds? HOPEFULLY THE ANSWER IS NO! Research needs input where to go? 3-5 years European projects Industrial Ph.D Remember research is ahead 2019-03-14 Public
WHERE ARE THE SYNERGIES BETWEEN BOTH WORLDS? Is that commitment needed? 3-5 years commitment? There is definitely a bridge! MSc thesis 6 months projects More hands on here and now -We have experience in Telia! From QoS to QoE (Nikita Ajit) IoT (Kalpit Ballal) Fault management for Telia DK (Signe Thomsen) (and it supports the global goal for sustainable development number 4 Quality education!) Thanks DKNOG! Student helpers Documentation data quality increase Automated tool to dynamically visualized the network topology Participated in IoT projects as junior technical helpers Developing scripts to analyze data to help us build our roadmaps informed intuition 2019-03-19 Public

WHO TO HIRE? Is high education a benefit or a drawback when working in the telecom industry? What to look for when hiring a new employee? Datasheets lie Everything is possible on paper Good industry understanding Researchers in the industry Here and now get it done Theoretical 100% correct vision Learning by doing Strong theoretical foundation Highly educated Industry educated DIVERSITY (real case example!) 2019-03-19 Public
