NGI TETRA & NGIatlantic joint workshop for Advisory Board Groups
Overview
TETRA and NGIatlantic.eu have joined forces to organise an on-line TETRA Advisory Board / NGIatlantic.eu External Advisory Group workshop to be held on 24th November 2020. The two initiatives, part of the NGI Programme of the European Commission, have joint forces and invited the members of their expert groups, including members from the EU and the US, to share a common vision on the services delivered by the projects and on the progress of the experiments funded by the Open Calls.
About NGIatlantic.eu
From April 2020 until November 2021, NGIatlantic.eu (ngiatlantic.eu) will launch 5 Open Calls for Proposals, with a total 2.8 Million Euros budget. The calls are for European organisations willing to carry out high-quality experimentation of Research & Innovation results, with a US-based counterpart, on NGI experimental platforms.
NGIatlantic.eu is a Reserarch and Innovation Action implemented by a consortium of five partners, from Europe and the US: Waterford Institute of Technology (Ireland, project coordinator), Trust-IT (Italy), EURESCOM (Germany), Rutgers University (USA), and University of Utah (USA).

Purpose of the workshop
The workshop will be the opportunity to discuss about the priority coverage areas for the upcoming NGIatlantic.eu open calls, expanding them from the results coming from the NGI topics issued from ICT-24-2018 to include additional topics in ICT-24-2019; and about the business acceleration support that TETRA is providing as part of its mandate, services that could benefit the experiments funded by NGIatlantic.eu, too.
The workshop is closed and limited to the project management boards and the expert groups. The outcomes of the event will be publicly available afterwards.
