The eChallenges e-2010 Event
The eChallenges e-2010 Conference took place in the beautiful city of Warsaw, coinciding with Chopin's 200th Anniversary. This was the twentieth in a series of Annual Conferences supported by the European Commission, which regularly attracts over 650 delegates from leading commercial, government and research organisations around the world to share knowledge and experience, lessons learnt and good practice in the areas of eInfrastructures, ICT for Networked Enterprise & RFID, eGovernment & eDemocracy, eHealth, Collaborative Working Environments, Living Labs, Digital Libraries and Cultural Heritage, Technology Enhanced Learning, Intelligent Content & Semantics, High Performance Computing Applications, Security and Identity Management and Mobility.
The goal of e-2010 was to stimulate rapid take-up of Research and Technology Development (RTD) results by industry and in particular SMEs, and help open up the European Research Area (ERA) to the rest of the world.

What activities did ICT-WEB-PROMS organise at this Conference?
The networking stand
The two EU-funded projects, WINS-ICT and ICT-WEB-PROMS, jointly organised a stand throughout the three day eChallenges e-2010 Conference to inform interested EU and WBC stakeholders of the projects' activities and cooperation opportunities with the WB region. The project teams collected expressions of interest for cooperation and act as intermediaries. It was furthermore possible to register in the contact database of WB and EU stakeholders, managed by the two projects, directly at the stand.
"Network EU and WBC research opportunities: final WINS-ICT and ICT-WEB-PROMS promotional event" Networking Session 8e on the 28th October between 16:00 – 17:30
