Project event: IncoNet EECA & CA/SC participation in ICT 2010

ICT is a biennial event organised by the European Commission. It has become a gathering point for researchers, business people, investors, and high level policy makers in the field of digital innovation. IncoNet EECA and IncoNet CA/SC have joined forces with several other projects to present themselves with a stand and a Networking Session.
Joint Stand:
EECA: Caucasus and Central Asia: (Re) discover ICT cooperation potential
Zone D "International Village", 27-29 September 2009, all day

EECA research excellence is being sought after by foreign partners in sectors such as nanoelectronics technology, supercomputers, GRID technologies, networks, software, components and e-health. This information stand will exploit the results of five EECA projects (ISTOK-SOYUZ, SCUBE-ICT, EXTEND, IncoNet CA/SC, and EU-RU.NET). It will draw attention to EECA ICT competencies, disseminate information on the teams, give an overview of the science and technology information platform incrEAST and the EU-EECA ICT competence platform, and present the EECA ICT helpdesk. The exhibit will also serve as a meeting point for visitors interested in co-operation with EECA ICT actors and thus help strengthen EU-EECA ICT partnerships.

The team of the IncoNet EECA and IncoNet CA/SC  Central Information Office look forward to meeting you on 27 and 28 September (Monday and Tuesday).
