Horizon Europe Calls 2024 Information & Brokerage Session: Digital Platforms for the Cloud-Edge-IoT, Innovation through Open Source and Software

In a move to foster innovation in cloud, edge computing, and IoT integration, EUCloudEdgeIoT.eu, in collaboration with the European Commission (EC), recently hosted an information session on upcoming 2024 calls. The event, held in a hybrid format, provided an opportunity for potential applicants to gain detailed insights into the new calls for funding on topics related to Cloud-Edge-IoT platforms, open source and software engineering. The event spotlighted the critical importance of integrating cloud, edge, and IoT technologies in shaping Europe's digital future, attracting a diverse audience, including industry professionals, academics, and technology enthusiasts eager to submit proposals for the new funding opportunities.

The event opened with a morning plenary session to introduce five Horizon Europe calls with a deadline for application set in March 2024 and included two intense parallel sessions where potential applicants pitched their proposal ideas and companies. The afternoon session was then dedicated to networking meetings that were scheduled via a booking system that will be open and available until the calls’ deadline.

All details about this event can be investigated at the EUCloudEdgeIoT website.

The event marked a significant step in advancing Europe's position at the forefront of digital innovation. By bringing together various stakeholders and providing them with valuable guidance and support, EUCloudEdgeIoT.eu and the EC have laid a foundation for impactful future project proposals in the cloud, edge, and IoT domains.
