Programme
Meeting the networking needs of the e-Infrastructures domain, the ‘2010 Euro-Africa e-Infrastructures Conference’ (which will be held at the Scandic Marina Congress Center in Helsinki, Finland on Dec. 9-10, 2010) aims at becoming a key place for main stakeholders in the field coming from all over sub-Saharan Africa and Europe.
The ‘2010 Euro-Africa e-Infrastructures Conference’ is organised in the framework of the ‘2010 Euro-Africa Week on ICT Research & e-Infrastructures’ (Dec. 6-10, 2010) and is co-located with the ‘3rd Euro-Africa Cooperation Forum on ICT Research’ (Dec. 7-8, 2010) to be held in Helsinki at the same venue.
The Conference organising team is now gearing up for a very first exciting event filled with discussions and debates, networking opportunities, and knowledge-sharing among all key stakeholders in the field and policymakers.
The conference will most probably be based on four or five main themes (more information coming soon) and will feature various session types:
| Plenary sessions | Featuring officials from the European Commission, the African Union Commission, Governments, and internationally acknowledged e-Infrastructures experts. |
| Presentation sessions | Organised around the main conference themes. Each session will be made up of several presentations (4 to 6 presentations of about 15 minutes in length), where key stakeholders in the field will present their visions, experiences and findings. Some of these sessions may feature case studies and others will be specific focus sessions (sessions including a mix of presentations and panel discussions and featuring a very single topic). |
| Discussions and debates sessions | Offering participants the opportunity to actively contribute to the Conference outputs. Intended to be very lively and and highly interactive, these sessions will encourage open discussions on many of the e-Infrastructures related topics. |
| Networking sessions | Aiming at facilitating additional and informal networking opportunities. |
